I realize it's been a while, but as you know life can be hectic at time.   When that is said, my life is hectic all the time.  So to finish 2015,  I continued working on the Triumph.  I took the engine apart to its last bolt.  I plan to boost it up by increase the power to 750cc by adding larger piston and new cylinder.  I have seen already made kit for this.  Plan is to send the flywheel with the new piston to have it balanced. 

So until I get enough cash set aside to purchase the parts, I change my focus to the carb which I took apart

 

Am not sure if I will be able to salvage it.  I need to find out if I can find some spares kit to rebuild the Amal. 

 

and I continued my work with the tank.  I clean the tank and applied 2 layers of primer to it. 

I also ran into trouble with the XS and had to change the electronic ignition to Boyer and put brand new Mikuni carb which cost me a fortune.  Hence, why I need to wait for the Triumph.

I did a bit of going out as well.  I attended the yearly Lone Star Rally in Galveston. 

 

I find some more interesting Texas patches. 

 

In spite of bad weather condition  it was awright.  Saw some atrocities which seems to be a yearly occurence here but it's always nice to walk around bikers event.  

Better than Galveston was a Vintage Motocross Rally I attended at RioBravo Motocross Park. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It got me so into it that I ended up purchasing a KTM 200 Exc to go out trail riding (too old for motocrossing though am training on the track at the moment and enjoying every minute of it)
