And so it begins-update 8-16 DONE! new pics
08 Dec 2008 23:48 - 17 Aug 2009 00:45
I started on my sort of rebuild. I have the rear end off and will be putting the gs arm on as soon as it's ready. I still need new shocks and chain and sprockets for it. Then on to the clutch, leaking stator grommet, fork seals and springs, take apart front wheel for powdercoat, braided lines, then the 1075 kit with a fresh head. Someone please stop me! :ohmy:

Up here, you have to pay close attention to your beer, so it doesn't Freeze! Just have to make sure that you don't have many distractions is all. :laugh:

Here in MN, we have discovered a cool trick to keep the beer from freezing up...ya gotta add just the right amount of anti-freeze as to not spoil the flavor.
Now, if plan on more than a 6-pack, be sure to measure out your intended uses prior to consumption. For obvious reasons, the more you drink, the less you are aware of a safe anti-freeze/beer mixture ratio. Which of course, would evolve in either hospitalization, or the worst hangover you will ever experience..:S
nah..just kiddin'..I NEVER mix anti-freeze with beer...the beer is for the chaser...
