gl5 TGB delivery, and the cbr6
so i found out the tgb’s engine is a gl5. which means nothing. it’s probably a suzuki/morini engine so i ordered the part form a new zealand place, when it gets here i want it done soon, need the money.
Sticker nicked from sarges house. he’s never gonna own anything fast anyway.
got an f3 pipe for free, no dents in it or anything.
don’t fit though.
I think i see the problem..
cleaned my bike with a four star shirt 
it was a really nice day weather wise
bugged front tire you’ll note, changed that later but it was too dark for photos then.
gsxr wheel fits onto cbr6 spindle and has a speedo drive unlike a cbr6 f3 wheel. problem is I don’t have a gsxr speedo drive either ….
rg125 wheel feels it loss
and inadequacy
and size.
The money shot, i love gunmetal grey.
I have about 3 rg125 front wheels and discs, so i think i will put them on the gsxr wheel, being slightly smaller will help with fitting. or maybe i won’t fit them at all, i don’t really need it but it looks sooo gooood!
what else?
the starlet engine swap will be started some because i will have to drive a carina around for a while, and while the starlet is sitting idle it will be the best time to surprise it. especially since it broke down twice last sunday 
My first motovational poster!
and there was more bags to go in! go here for original if you feel like have a go.
Nikki’s intruder is finished,
had to change battery, rectifier, choke cable, seat lock and fix the light switch and spent ages trying to fish the choke plunger out of the carb. The above pic features the seat lock as it is attached to a suzuki rg80. There are three rg80′s in that pictures and the one i wanted was at the bottom. When we were done off we went no proper test drive or nothing, of course it wouldn’t start after we stopped for petrol. sigh.
more bike work, no job now!
No more pizza delivering! got fired last thursday morning, blasted internal politics, so looks like it will be foxers for a while just like my dad back in the 80′s. Also i have no excuse to not finish off some of my projects
I also got 6 new rags to clean my bike with, I’m sure I had seven of them just can’t find the last one..
Niki’s bike got some work done on it yesterday, procured another rectifier with the wrong connectors bit of poking and splicing made it fit nicely. So nicely it started to charge! but the battery was so dead it still wouldn’t run right, so off to ross’s to locate a second hand about to be thrown out battery and rescued it, had enough in it to make the bike behave. Starting and charging now sorted have to fix the headlights the choke and the intermittent indicators along with a few other things I’ve forgotten.
Note the wires are now much more tidy.
One of the many positive things about not delivering pizza is that i can now go a bit mad with my bike only lowered the handlebars right now, but such a big change in the cornering attitude! i love it, can wait until summer and dry roads. Pity it looks ugly with 3″ of spare fork leg poking out the top 
still function over form. I should make a list of things i like about being unemployed but it would be too long. i can’t think of a really solid negative, no free pizza’s might be one but then again pizzas are bad for you. Moneys not really a problem, money is time and I’ve got loads of time.
Playing around with a hopelessly slow laptop last night, found debris linux, based on ubuntu but with out the bloat it should be great, will be trying it out later.
Not much done again
Went out and confirmed that niki’s intruder125 does not charge, that took most of the morning, then i fixed the chain and put oil in the gn125 he was borrowing off me in between heavy rail and hail showers.
lovely home made electrical connections! no wonder I’m charging €100 for this job. Seriously they are solder together so we shall check the rectifier/regulator first.
The Brothers girlfriends car failed the NCT on rear bush’s. Just ask Sean they are a bastard to get out.
Winter sucks.
Garage very cold, took pictures of cat instead.
Trying to get out of my job at the moment, never knew it was this hard to get fired. Not sure what to do afterwards the though of being self employed again cheers me up and the though of stress again does not.
Found out the i can insure a piaggio ape in ireland!, but it seems it must be commercial ploicy,hmm not so, future includes a multi bike and trike policy? post apoc trike, perfect for trips to the shops, parking and killing zombies.
Been on the ikcc, seems that i might get way with regestering a trike as a bike if it is under 400kg. can’t make a 400kg 8.7liter v8 trike with iron girders for zombie protection so i’ll have to be a bit high tech.
Duttons rock! cheap enough to so that vrt is not really a problem and so many fundametal design problems to fix!
have a piaggio ape vid
saw this down in cobh, sarges bike club place, don’t have a link i’m afraid, want the leading link front end would do nicely on a trike..
