Marks 650 runs again !

The last time this bike ran, it caught on fire.Mark turned on the fuel and Chet is ready to start it.
Brian is ready with the fire extingusisher just in case.

Carbs

The more I work on them, the better I like fuel injection.

2 Years and Still Going

Today is the second year anniversary of Motorcycles and Other Stuff.
Thanks for looking.

Jorge and his motorcycle

 

I took it for a test ride on Saturday morning and Jorge rode it home that afternoon.

Enjoy.

The latest Cafe Racer is finished

I picked up the tank today for the 81 CB750K I have been working on.

I will post the pictures after Jorge gets to see the bike at the shop.

Clean Brake

 

Just a shot of what you might find in a 30 year old brake caliper and what it can look like after a cleaning. 

I am just waiting on the tank and this cafe racer will be done.

 

Working on a New motorcycle?

Earlier in the week , a long time friend came by the shop while I was working on the latest cafe racer.He commented that I was working on a new bike.
I replied that it was the same one I was working on the past two weeks.
No, he said,what is this a 1980 or 1981 ?
He was right it is a 1981.
Then I started thinking about . If you don't count the occasional service or tires I install,this is a new bike for the shop. Most of the stuff is at least 40 plus years old. The more time I spend with motorcycles the more I find myself drawn to older bikes.
I look over at my future project bikes and the newest model was introduced in 1969 and the oldest model dating back to the mid 50's.

Exhausted

 

The next Old School Cafe Racer is almost ready to ride.
