It's time to switch the ratchet over to tighten.

What's in YOUR Garage?

She's pretty understanding, for sure. Curing paint in the oven is OK, but she drew the line at parts cleaning in the dishwasher!

The UPS guy is almost like another member of the family. I started an account at work to simplify shipping of components.

Wow

Looking good Dave, heard any updates from Sir Mutineer?? Picts??

Nothing yet. I'm going to start haranguing him when things start going back together. He's gonna wind up sending me a bottle of Basil Hayden.

It would appear your final drive came back for the other bike I saw on that stand...

It did come back, just this past Sunday. So, I took it for a short ride yesterday.

He checked in today, complaining that his garage is too cold to start putting his bike back together. He's still got his bodywork in house without paint, but his frame is done. I think we're about tied at this point.

Boy, seeing all this resto work going on makes me want to reconsider the /2 purchaise I was persuing recently or buying the R90s that a friend of mine has who can no longer ride due to back problems. He stripped it down 3 years ago and had everything totally repainted in its original Daytona orange paint scheme, the entire bike is still sitting on his back porch (enclosed), I've always thought that was bestest color of the "S's". He is the orginal owner and I still remember the day he first showed up on it everyone in the riding group I hung out with at the time drooled over it for hours!

*sigh*

time to go for a nice long airhead ride this weekend even if it only going to be in the mid 30's....

Hey, that would be a no brainer! Didn't the groundhog see his shadow! 6 more weeks of winter, plenty of time to finish an R90s!

Herr Sausidge:

Is that the bike you attempted to torpedo the cage with? Great looking paint, too bad it is going to stay in CA.

That's the one, Ray. Thanks. It's going to be a nice regional ride when it's done.

Tomorrow, the bearings will come out of the steering head and swingarm and then it's off to the painter - when I find one.

Schweet. Today, I should get the bearings out of the frame so it can get painted.

 

[kbasa]

The bodywork showed up on Monday.

Oooh la la.

 

[Jeff488]
