woo! this week has been a flurry of activity. here’s a quick recap.
we managed to explode our race bike(a-5) 2 or 3 times last week. then we got it running. then it ripped the engine off of the bike(literally) but now, finally, everything is working properly. variates fully. the engine is very secure. The clutch grabs. we’re not blowing pistons every 30 seconds. woot. next up is tuning the tranny and carb. Lee-o-matic’s other race bike(rounds moby) is almost ready to run. both bikes’ disc brake setup’s are almost complete aswell. I think we may actually be ready for the first race after all.
i forgot to snap a pic of the newest engine. so this will have to do.
Today kevin rose came by the shop to pick up his chrome maxi i built for him. i brought it outside and showed him the ropes. but as he rode it up the street it sounded really sad and horrible. after frantically freaking out for a few minutes i pulled the magneto and saw it had sheared the woodruff slot on the cam. after slapping on a new mag, it started right up and proceeded to rip up and down the alley. i made sure to get a few last wheelies in before officially handing it over to the owner.
Flynn sold his stock tomos on craigslist. yay! soon maybe he’ll have a bike that can do pop-a-wheelies!
Tommy likes soda. and redbull? sure.

I recently aquired a set of NOS peugeot six star wheels for the poochabacane project aswell. special thanks to this man for making it happen.
moto matic’s newest race creation came into the shop for repairs too. 
I spent most of my day today getting my bike in “race mode” for the LA rally races. I rebuilt my ktm clutch setup and actually got it perf this time with lee’s help. i forgot just how sweet this thing is. it’s way to loud for riding around the city though. so i popped my stock clutch back in till the races.
after i finished that, i helped lee mount up his new pipe to his magnum. i should also mention that he put the sweetest engine ever on it today. 80cc manual 3speed awesomeness. i haven’t seen him that stoked in a while
still pedals!
i’m deffinettly gonna be catching some video of the race bikes when they’re running well. so stay tuned.
