Ola chicos

Just a quicky cause have been lazy in update the blog.   Well, not much happen since last time.   I did go to Giddy Up with my friend Jean-Louis.   Due to schedule clashes, could only stay one day as opposed to the original 3 days planed.  That's life.   Same set up as before, don't change something that work.   Next year, I will stay over 3 days and really enjoy the show.  I will spare you the pics which are more or less the same as last year.  Not much change in the style. 


Then I went to the Handbuilt, and same thing as Giddy up.  It used to be "whoa" now it's "ok".   As usual I stopped at my favorite vintage car shop. 
And there I found a nice little pick up truck which I could easily see me in. 
Unfortunately, I don't have the place, the time, nor the money to acquire it.


After a quick stop at the MotoGP, I headed towards the Handbuilt.


Ducati was showing their new Scrambler which I did like very much.   It's new the new XT 500.


There was still some good things at the handbuilt although I felt it lost a bit of its essence by having the show sponsored by Moto Guzzi :


My favorite this year was a airhead.   Lots of little innovations.

On the home front, I finished the CT70, and due to lack of space, I dismantled it and put it into boxes for later use.

then I realize the RV 125 was leaking.  At first, I thought it was the cam seal, but after consulting with Reagan I think the carb overfloaded and I will have to burn the extra gas out of the engine and change the carb. 

And to finish this update, I sold my 200 KTM and replaced it by a 1974 TY 250.
