Tonight it hit the wall… my workshop is in total disarray and I am tripping over stuff every time I’m out there. I now have parts from this bike strewn across two areas and my organization is starting to fall wayward and am feeling a bit overwhelmed. The bike is stripped down to just frame, motor, carbs, forks, wiring and front wheel. With colder weather coming soon, I need to get a grip on this mess. Right now I don’t even have access to a workbench, so this weekend a new one will be built so I can start getting things properly put away. This will also enable me to start parking my truck in the garage. Something I have never done in the two and a half years that we have lived here.
This week I have been trying to finish up painting things that I can with enamel spray cans. We are still in the 70s here but forecast is calling to start dropping to 50-60’s soon. Once I get the workshop put in order, I will start dragging out stashed parts and get everything lined up that will be going on this bike. I’m still not 100% what I’m doing with it but I’ve got a few options.
On a side note, we had very heavy fog here this morning. Just a mile from my house a fellow biker was killed around 5am. Some jackass tried to pass a semi on the two lane state highway in the fog. As soon as he pulled out of his lane to pass he hit the biker head on. Killed instantly. Drugs/alcohol are suspected by the jackass SUV driver. So be careful out there guys!!! Idiots are among us.
