Sick new lid

My buddy Soy, Elevensix, painted up a helmet for me and it turned out better than I could have imagined. Can't wait to pick it up.

Another specimen

Another favorite from the vintage bike show. A nice example of a BSA lightning, Similar to my thunderbolt.

Idaho Vintage Bike Show

Just attended the vintage bike show out in caldwell yesterday. I felt like I was in some sort of dreamland. Just wish I could have ridden every one of the bikes there. There were some amazing specimens!

High flying pic of the week.

Suit up and boot it!

Chasing the sunset.

Tried to climb this hill to see the sunset from up high but I couldn't quite make it to the top. I still got to see about three other sunsets on my ride home. Perfect finale to a great weekend!

The black night. Lucas

So its come down to getting the electrics goin on the thunderbolt. I spent most of Sunday cleaning up the wiring harness and testing but I can't get it to spark yet. Honestly I'm not that great when it comes to troubleshooting electronics. I'll need a hand from someone who understands it better. But once I see a spark I'm 90% sure ill get it to start the same day.(fingers crossed)

Treasures!!

My step-dad came across a box the other day labeled "A65T" Interesting.... A few of the missing pieces to my Thunderbolt. In the box was the original Smiths speedometer, the ammeter, (with a broken but easily fixable lense) the Lucas headlight, one of the tank badges, (cracked and abused (just the way I like em)) and a box full of nuts and bolts.

Exhausted!!

Thanks to the local and federal government not spending all of my withholdings I was able to order some new and much needed exhaust for my wr250x. It looks alot better, sounds way better and seems to be a little quicker. I also learned on a test ride that a couple barks of the throttle will send deer and other roadside animals fleeing for their lives!! Sweet...

Amal monoblock..

Cleaned, rebuilt, re-installed, photographed. Amal. England.

The bike in the picture reminds me of my buddy Terry's Honda CB125 upside down handlebars and all. .....she's not too bad either.
