e50 on a batavus.  Going to sand and (hopefully) powder coat the frame, body and tank a candy blue.  Going to order athena 50cc reed kit and get the engine wrapped up.

Wire up voltage regulator to my maxi so I stop blowing lights and try out this 14mm bing to see what kind of speed I can get.

That's everything Nate is working on (yes talking about myself in 3rd person, you wanna fight about it?!)

Magnum X needs more stuff gone through.

Dart engine needs to get finished.

Express needs to get fixed and sold.

Brown magnum needs me to attempt to resurrect the dead gila.

Monster ped needs disassembly and sales.

Green maxi needs to get finished and to Forrest.

That might be it.  I duno.  Might be more.

Making all 4 of my mopeds run AT THE SAME TIME (at the same time <> simultaneously). To do that, I need to make one work period, I need to make one not run temporarily before I can make it run again better than before (hopefully), and by making it not run temporarily, I will have the pieces to make another one run, and in the meantime, I have to not seize my new kit.

Just sandblasted a brand new K-Star 70, prepping it for a thermal barrier coating and a friction barrier. When matched with a similarly prepped cylinder and head, a Rally-Proof Engine.

pulld my front wheel to get it cleaned up, bearings are a bit oozy.. so replacement time on those. sealed bearings, but theyre the 6001's so it shouldnt be too bad. getting my list together for my order from treats, pretty psyched about that.

swapping a tire to the stock bike so it'll have tread again. took the forks off my bike and i'm gonna clean it up more and prep for paint.

decided on a more basic paint job for now: red wheels and top tank, white frame and seat.

Mine is to pass all my classes and get done with school STAT!  Its so fuggin ridiculous right now I don't even have time to brush my teeth and wipe my ass.   


So who wants to come over and bathe me while I do homework? 



I'm slowly working on getting that Golden Bullet running.  clean out the tank, fit a new carb on, new exhaust, and some port work should make it run nice. 

After that I have some metal to bend up for a home made bike.

Might as well skip the toilet and just shit down the shower drain!  Don't try to convince me that it isn't made for the task, I'll just stomp it down with my feet.  New project, test the limits of my shower drain.


Just you guys wait till I am comfy ranting here.  Maybe I should change my screen name so it doesn't come up on google searches with all the other forums.

Athena 50cc reed kit

All going to a rebuild of the black maxi engine.

New shocks for the puchavus project.  Thinking I will transplant the top end of my maxi to it's engine, stock pipe (until next payday), and 12mm bing (extra sitting there...)

I am going to be BUSY on the next fixit...if it all show up before then.

Yeah, high five!! We should race when you get it done. I'm probably gonna have to port mine more though, because I have a feeling yours will be faster than mine.

You overestimate my tuning abilities!  I can make a four stroke hum, an electric motor tear up tires, but I have never been able to get a two banger to do my bidding for more than a hundred miles.   


Maybe I will do something fancy like weld up an exhaust or something.  Seems easy enough with one of those fancy programs.
