fall moto giro #5.1

looks of a great weekend
I made it day 1 from Mt Snow to Salem NY before I had electrical issues
A lousy condensor put me out of the game
It happened after stopping for gas I could not get it to fire thought it might be my kill switch but found out 3 miles down the road it was the loss of a clean spark
On sunday I did make it to the top of Okemo MT
went back down to get my camera for the photos and on the second trip the same gremlin showed it's face - loss of spark

they thought so highly of the european cycle day that the switched it from columbus day sunday to the weekend of the 4 to finally the 21 of Sept
well at least they used a shot of my bike in the press photo

new scooter Malaguti Yesterday

is there anybody out there

it took me 6 months to find the scrap of paper I wrote my pass word on
dumb shite
I have been so busy I have not even put a bike on the road this year!

stone is done for now

a few loose ends and we will be set for the spring giro

more photos from bike two

jh

well looks like the wire nut and masking tape bandit has hit the loom
Important note this is a 150mm shell (mach1 ... hmm)
if you can peel your eyes from the red sharpie custom paint work that's a SSI29 carb on a Monza motor.
well the person I consider the Guru had ID the front brake to be from a Honda 350 so I would guess these to be honda shocks to boot
I just need to get this other engine from the guy and I'll be all set, what carb came with a velocity stack like this?

dm250 90011

well this is how she looked when I picked her up
I was most happy with the fact that it had the one tool box I needed since mine had stress cracks in it that were opened up at the Giro this year
The faded decal says Daytona 250, and I like the paint layout on this better than what
I currently have
If you have a good eye do you think this is the correct mach 1 front fender?
The one sticker of note is triangle motorcycle parts in chicago on the tank ... any history?
Note to self: keep all red sharpie markers way from duc singles

last batch of Mach 1 shots

amazing is the fact that the mach 1 has a 26mm carb from a touring bike that has a very odd drip tray set up for the remote float bowl - one nice touch is the air cleaner has all the writing still on it

A great shot showing the home made heel toe shifter made out of a rearset shift arm



nice rear sets and don't you love the batery box/ tool box combo?
yup I need to get that kick starter off
key is that there are all the brackets for the proper tin
check back tommorrow for the "better bike"

15 / 8 / 7 / 5

been in the house for 5 years
we have been married for seven as of the 29th (we ate dinner before we said grace)
had the twins 8 years ago
and we met 15 years ago at a scorpion bowl party in college on the 31st
life is good

what are these from??

Okay race fans
what are these brakes off of
much larger than your typical Single duck brake, but very narrow
don't want clip ons, rather the easy rider ape hanger look - spacers for the forks!
and if you have a weak stomach for the ham fisted harley hammer please look away
the tech here is a soft piece of Brass between the unknown kick starter lever and the kicker splines - see I warned you

ready to ring a ding-ding

engine together
love the pipes and might need to get a different seat
battery charging
need to get two fuel filters and fuel line
time the sucker
and smoke out the garage

DM250M1 01336

this is fresh from the barn
few things of note:
Check out the square section header and what I think is a muffler from a sportster.
Seller thought the cross bar was highway peg setup, I think it was for a race fairing ... what do you think.
Nice try with the heal toe shifter made from the rear set shift arm.
This is a prime example of when people do damage to classics
I will be adding many more photos and info over the next few days
