Here's a shout out!
I'm off for spring break this week (first time in 6 years) and have been enjoying my time over at the garage. Jshay and Sean came over for some afternoon grillin. We made some nice eats.
Here's the boys comparing...meat swords...
Here's Sean working on his batavus...why anyone would want a batavus is beyond me...
In other vespino news...I have been unable to get the bike to run consistently. I don't know what the problem is. It will start easily and rip up and down the street...then the next time I go to start it, it takes FOREVER! I don't get it. I finally had it running to where I was happy enough to try and ride it to moped Wednesday. Unfortunately, I never made it all the way across the 2nd street bridge.
My bike just cut out and whirred to a stop about half way across...When I tried starting it again, It was obvious that I lost some form of compression...Soft seize? Blow a seal? Gasket? Who knows. My theory is that the problem involves the cool air coming off the river and all the wind blowing into my forward facing carb...Back to the fucking drawing board. Woof!
holy moley it looks so nice!!
ReplyDeletesounds like it's an air leak somewhere. at least those are the exact same symptoms gary busey had when i first put him together. it turned out the head gasket was blown to smithereens. i'd check and recheck all your gaskets.
woa woa woa!!!
ReplyDeletethat thing is beautiful!
the decals are so crispy. its there.
yeah man, those decals are sick.
ReplyDeletejordan got his hobbit together today and rode around town for an hour or so. then it died. i was at work and didn't hear about it till hours after it happened. he doesn't know what went wrong, he had to be picked up. he also didn't check to see if he ran out of gas...my bet's on that.
so, any chance you ran out of gas? probs not.
welp, i'm off to bed. later sir
I was wondering why your cables and sidewalls were yellow, now I know...awesome!
ReplyDeletewow, now seeing that thing together it looks like roy lichtenstein and pablo picasso got together and designed a moped.
ReplyDeleteis that a pedal shaft in front of the cylinder? forward intake? single shock? Is that supposed to be her nose where her boobs are?
FRESH!
