Introduction to Madness...

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Danny. I have a really bad obsession with bikes. It doesn't really even matter what kind of bike. If its got two wheels I'm interested. So I'm starting this blog to document my illness. I want this to be my travelogue my project diary and an outlet to express my inspiration along the way. I also hope to keep it entertaining to those who tune in. Enjoy. ....or don't if your not into it.

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...

T-Rex


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.
