Visitors!

Showed up at the shop yesterday to find the driveway blocked by four Swedish guys and two of them with their own choppers!
The Munkfors MC has returned. They were here last year at our swap meet in the mud, and have been riding their bikes in the US, on and off, for almost a year now. Basically they shipped their bikes here last September, and and legally they can ride their bikes for one year as tourists, no problem. So they flew here last year, rode around, flew home went to work, and then they are back. I think they might be coming back again for Bonneville, before they have to ship their bikes home. 
Pretty cool. 
Steven had a blown front brake line, so since I am always looking for an excuse to get out of work, I started up the shovelhead and rode down to the Harley shop with them to figure it out. Jamestown Harley hooked them up, and got them back on the road. They are headed towards the Redwood run, where Wolf already is!

Finally!

Monday I pulled my front pulley off, added the correct spacer, and then we were finally back in business...


Or so I thought. Dead battery. Shit. Anyway, easy fix. Put it on a charger for lunch and then came back and was able to get two heat cycles in. 

Tuning the carb and observing an oil leak in one of my lines from my oil cooler. Minor issue that would not stop the heat cycles. 

Yesterday I finally got about 15 miles on the motor. With a little more carb adjusting, it'll be ready to go for the long haul! Man it feels good to have it back on the road!

Basket Case Magazine

OK, so obviously this magazine is pretty rad by just looking at the cover (yes!), but actually once you start turning the pages, its not just a one hit wonder. Its filled with pictures from local photographers, runs we've all been on, and also a bunch of Deathtraps, that never hurts!
Pick up the first copy HERE and don't miss out!

Fuck!

Finally got some time to work on the bike. Got everything buttoned up, tightened up, and filled up... with new fluid.
Once I maneuvered the bike outside, I realized that I was completely out of gas. Ran to the gas station, topped it off, and then tried to kick it over. That's when I realized I had left out one of my spacers between my motor pulley and stater. 
Teardown will happen tomorrow. Hopefully that's it...




Tight squeeze

Work has been getting in the way of the really important things. All shirt orders went out today, and due to a lack of organization, go figure, we need to shut down the online store and do an inventory and get a new shirt re-order in.
Email us if you have any questions, but things will be back up and going soon!

Progress is... Slow

Running to the store. Then to the Harley shop for a new stator. And then realize you forgot something at Pats shop. And to top it off, you can't find the correct primary belt. 
Anyway, back at it this weekend. Real work today unfortunately.
