ok i have lots to update on as, in my usual fashion, i haven't had time to get on here. But here is the latest jewel in my collection. Came across this SWEET cafe through an old friend at work who had been bugging me for the last few years to check out and buy his old bike. i wasn't all that interested in picking up another old stock Jap bike. Little did I know. Its a 76 CB400 four. the bike was bought new by my friend and he went on to build it through the late seventies/early eighties. Its got tons of OS parts and custom work done. Fiberglass cowel, clubman bars, had the tank dished for bar clearance. fork brace, Koni rear shocks, yoshimura race pipe (very rare), pirelli phantom rubber, custom fiberglass rear section. bar end mirrors. The coolest thing is the engine. Last run in 88, the motor was pulled and sent out for full rebuild including big bore kit (to 458cc) track Cam, and some porting was done to the head. Upon return of the motor the bike has sat in heated storage ever since. The motor hasn't been set between the frame rails yet. Now its my turn to have my fun with it. I shouldn't even say what i paid for it. Highway robbery.

Interesting weekend.
Well the weekend came and went, but not without its share of motorcycle related craziness. Gary Grady's Chopper run was on Saturday., I drove like a madman back from the lake to catch the run leaving rec supply, only to be ten minutes late from the pack. When we got to dundurn, we found out the run went to delisle first. Burgers and beers ensued as we waited for everyone to arrive. The chop was running like a dream, for the time being. We grew anxious waiting for the run to get to Big mur's so we decided to ride back to the city for a beer and then return to mur's at 7 for the festivities. Well in our usual fashion of laziness and waiting on deadbeat buddies, we didn't make it back till 8 and missed all the bike "games". Fuck. Had a blast riding around with Slider on the motorized picnic table tho. As for the chopper, i blew out the clutch rod seal on the second ride, which progressively got worse and worse, completely drenching the back half of the bike( and the rear tire!) The oil musta found its way into my electrics box cuz on the ride home my running light on the tail light quit working, then my low beam, and finally after a delicious double hot dog at OJ's (it had bacon on it!) I headed across the city in complete darkness as my highbeam shorted out as well!! fuck!
But on a positive note, i finally cracked the case of the non-charging ironhead. When i replaced the original speedo/tach dash i just capped the wire leading to the GEN light. apparently this wire need to be fed to power for the gen to function! who knew? well i have a strong charge and am STOKED! one less thing to worry about.

A piece of moto history..
My newly acquired 1947 Triumph T100. Not much to look at, but definitely a conversation piece. I have no intentions of actually building anything with this bike any time soon, so it may go on the auction block. would look pretty good on the garage wall as well...
