Made in USA

Apologies for the blurry photo. I'll replace it with a better one soon. I just scored this points cover off of ebay. Yeah, I know it says "live to ride" on it and all that but, man, I think it looks pretty bitchin'. On the back it says the name of some company that I can't think of right now, 1981, and Made in USA. In this day and age, it's always a nice surprise to see something made in this country. Even if it's 29 years old.

kickin' brass

i bought this brass kicker pedal at laconia a year ago. i was so excited about putting it on. i wanted to install it at the camp site but decided to wait till i got home. when i did install it, it just didn't look right on my bike for some reason. so it sat at the bottom of my tool box for over a year. now i'm shipping it to a friend in australia. i hope it looks better on his bike.

covered shocks

i finally zipped up my primary drive project. i replaced the compensator, and compensator nut. this greatly reduced the shiver feeling that my bike had when the rpms would hit 1200. since i was in there any way (and because i busted the chain oiler), i decided to seal the primary off as well. once all that technical stuff was done, i felt like doing something to the bike that would be visually noticeable as well. i've been wanting covered shocks for some time now. no time like the present.
