Once again, have been procrastinating with my blog, and everything else as matter of fact.   So last time, I left you, I had just park the chassis more or less completed of the Triumph.  As a matter of fact, all was completed except on little, tiny thing.  That is the back brake.   The triumph engine has the brake on the left foot peg and at brake drum on the right side.  With the rear end coming from the Yamaha, I still have to find a way to handle it.  Would be easy if it was regular brake but drum brake will be a challenge.   We'll see how it works out. 


But this month, I started with my personal pic for support of Breast Cancer.

not bad eh?? 


Awright, now back to business.  I have to be honest, have done more or less f.. all for last few months.  Just been enjoying the ride.  I kicked started the XT500 and took it for a spin but the bloody carb is way out of sync, so will need to show more than just TLC. 

She is parked now in my little shed in the back yard, awaiting my stamina to come back.  
Meanwhile, had to do something, so I picked up one of the CT70.    I figured, it was small enough to get myself going. 


Within minutes the thing was parted into pieces.

Then I got stuck trying to split the case apart.  Those bloody engineer simply used screw to connect the case, why could not they use normal Allen bolt.   I need to heat them up to split them apart but got no tools for that.  Gotta get my a.. to lowes or homedepot to buy those portable flame heater.  Not even sure how they are called.  

Then I got a call from my friends at Ace Motorworks.  They had finally received the Triumph engine back from Dallas for flywheel, gear, and big bore cylinder and piston had been mounted.  Left to be done, mount the gearbox, ignition, starter, etc.....

Ok so I have got lots of work left. 

And finally, to summarize my last 2 months of procrastinating, I finally got my hands on a Suzuki RV 125.  Some call it Vanvan.  Funny enough when I went to pick it up for a ridiculously low fee, the guy gave me a Z50 as a present.  My daughter will be happy, I will give it to her over Christmas. 

That's all folks
