Wahoo the Chinese 110 pit bike sold in under 24hrs.

Wish all FB sales went like that, guy was super communicative, didn't haggle over chat, asked legit questions, met on time, negotiated price real quick in person with a reasonable offer (listed it for 900 he offered 800 Cash). Done. Easy peasy. Netted 250$ in profit on that after initial 500$ purchase and 50 bucks in parts. Win win.

Slightly bummed it sold that easy, part of me wishes I kept it cus it ran phenomenal. But I have zero use for it. Now to get the RM85 gone.

 

Got off my ass and went for a ride after paying the IRS their cut for the year, needed to clear that from my head.
Dumped some Sea Foam in the tank, filled it up and proceeded to clean the injectors from winter storage.
It's cold out today. I need better gloves and warmer pants. Otherwise I was fine. Was about 44° when I left and got colder up higher.

 

Colorado has some amazing roads! I went to Colorado Springs a couple years ago and went up Pikes Peak, just the roads to get there were incredible

 

Cool deal on the info. but I think it’s a train track switch. All wording cannot be seen in the picture. The top says Bethlehem, the bottom says New Century Adjustable.

 

I see a foot, in the top right pic. Kiddo having some fun?

 

Getting closer. Picked up a couple things at HD for the oven build and came home and got started. Got the elements wired first. Then insulated the back and skinned it. Then it was into getting the control panel wires extended along with the element wires. Cut the control panel on each side to make it shorter and mounted it to the top of the oven. I probably should have used flex conduit but I didn’t. Wired up the power cord and plugged it in. Elements got nice and red.
Next steps are build the window door, drill a hole in the side and run the temp probe into the oven and drill a 1” hole trough the top for a small pipe vent. Then it’s time to do some powder coating.

 

Yeah every chance he gets he is trying to climb on one of the bikes. He took the key for a while and wouldnt let go of it saturday

 

I just did the google picture app thing and that’s what it came back with. Who knows?

 

I fucked up…

 

Alaska would be rough for moto fans. I'm in Alberta and I got a solid 6 rides in already, it's cold right now but I can see the sun on the horizon.

I'd have a snowmobile for sure if I was that far north.

 

What's the white stuff on the ground?

It was "chilly" today at 66*f with clouds in the sky . I had to wear a thin sweatshirt under the textile moto jacket to stay warm during my errands behind the fairings of the super tenere

 

The Honda is a 1977 CB400F Super Sport

 

Sunny weather here yesterday, I wish I could have gotten out to ride but waiting on some parts to show up to get everything back together...

 

I'm hoping this holds out for the weekend. Already shifted to the left a day since yesterday morning.

 

Current stable is listed in my sig line........

 

I feel this. But good news, just got word the exhaust is done. I'll pick it up today but I shouldn't get it going til Sunday. We have a bridal shower at the house Saturday, somewhere between 25-40 ppl coming over, so of course we're redecorating. (shoot me)

But the end is in sight. 1 - 2 weeks became 4 and I'm dyin' over here.

 

All my parts should be in tomorrow and Thursday so hopefully back on the road by Saturday
