Monday
Turned up all ready to tear into the trike and my dad sits me down..
“Son i think superchargers are for pussys, why not shove in an engine with four times the power?”
So we did. all thoughs of complete and utter uncontrolabilty were through out the window so fast you’d think i was a war scientest.
chain run looks good, and its compact and narrow.
Whipped out the cd70 engine, note how many layers of metal are in that hole, six! goddamnit
This is with the lower engine mount in the same place as the cd70 lower engine mount. chain run ain’t to bad. but the gearbox looks like it will run dry and the carb will leak too.
This is better, chain tensioner will be putting the tension on the inside of the chain now, and with the engine so far forward, there will be a big space for a oil bottle, maybe even a battery!.
This arm was welded on. then some ejit put the tension bolt back in. wtf? why?
Spare metal, as you can see it’s a bit bent.
After cleaning up the rust the inner skin had some supports welded in, and the outer skins were welded together.
And thats the outer skins added in, big hole still in the middle, but it will have to wait until next week when i shall be tryin to figure out where to put the supercharger. Or devolping superhuman reflex’s and mad rideing skill.
maybe i should remove the starlets suspension just to see what it feels like..
Monday
Only managed this, and i cut a hole out of a diet book and hid chocolate in it as a anniversary present for my girlfriend. Will do more next time.
And in nabs favor, it’s looks like i have no choice but to move to the wilton shop, in 4 weeks time. when the brother of the area manger wants you to work in his shop you dont get no other viable options. Pah at least i’l make more money for a change.
Monday
Went on a bike run sunday at least 480 bikers were there, damn rolling road block runined the experience, not doing it again. fuck the little dying kiddies.
little bit cluttered but very nice, ted did the engine in this.
Color blind bike, who forgot to do up his helmet one day had a little crash, afterwards he decided to paint build this.
Monday was a long day, got a my rod ends in the post, they look great but wont fit, coarse thread. my fault for not asking about it from the ebay seller. but then again it should have been specified. no matter there were cheap and next time i’ll get the right thread.
Slapped in the washers on my rear dampers, which helps to keep em in one piece, used a thiner washer rather than the std very thick washer cum bump stop thing.
Did a little work on the atc, my shoulder and broken thumb stopped me from doing alot.
It looks bent, but i will have to measure it.
going for yellow and black, completely didn’t think that out really. yellow hammerite is about 3 time more expensive then black, if im not careful i will end up with one of those horrible flip paint jobs.
After dinner went out to mallow to fix up the guy who fixed my laptops bike, just a bit of welding and lots oh wd40.
didn’t go with Gentoo in the end, trying ubuntu with a faster desktop.
Tuesday went to dublin zoo, quite nice up there now, not as many animals walking about the place as fota, but it did have a citifarm, which brought back memories. i want straw as a floor!
A Trike!
Bought this yesterday, e100! everthing is bent cut busted and rusted except the tires and probably the brake (singular, rear) i say probably beacuse i haven’t actually looked at it and it might be busted anyway. had loads of plans to bigger better engines but now i think i’ll just fix/fit the engine in it weld up the HUGE cut/hole in the frame and sort out that rear wheel, the axle teeth are stripped so i’ll have to either pay for a new one (yaright) or weld the hub to the axle (gotta get it straight) maybe way in the future i’ll get a bigger chinese copy engine, but as soon as it’s fixed i want to see what driving with no suspension on the road feels like 🙂 did i mention it has a frame number and a few other legal nicecitys?.
Monday
Got runner going, just needed battery, starter motor wireing up,petrol and the alternator nut tightened.
Sounds lovely, would be straight out on it but insurance hassles with the guard right now are killing my
enthusiasm. Why the hell does she want my policy number so bad? did the guards in any of my other
accidents want to see my policy? can’t remember.
Anyway, it was all easy except the wire for the starter motor, odd spot and why the hell did i take it off in
the first place?
a very bad quick chop,extend the motor back till the rear mud guard, take out the boot box thing and
lower the seat onto the frame rails, lower everything else too.
A decent engine mount that didn’t twist and some frame slimming (it’s very wide not fat) could make this
bike very nice… or maybe i should just ride it.
Stripped the cbr right down. why? to change the throttle cable…..
the length is not a problem, how ever the cable slack is (cb650 cable) old cable is way fucked not a
chance in hell of me putting it back on. will search about the house for one soon, but i may just get
a new one. also the air filter is cracked!! don’t know weather it was because i was hit so hard or because
it is a cheap copy.
Broke my foot
Can’t find keys 🙁 hot wired it, started after the third kick 🙂 15seconds later it stopped 🙁 much kicking later and my foot is like a bruised banana.
By next week i may have found some key and a battery (side: don’t forget to connect the starter motor up).
Too tired to say much else.
Work on Monday
Nice day today no squlshy squlsh, got to do some work, boring stuff like servicing the cbr i won’t bother you with
i did (more interestingly) dig out my runner 180, that thing was fun when it was in one piece
Was actually very theraputic puting it back together, a simple non frustrating job for once
also spotted this in the neighbors place, pity mine ain’t white, i’d sticker it
