Default It begins . . .



Between working usually 16-17 hours a day, plus other commitments, I have begun the laborious process of getting my shop cleaned up and this thing torn down. Gonna try and do some racin' this year.

Already bought a backup helmet. Still need some new boots and newer gloves. The old Sidis are pretty worn out.

I wish I had more time. I should have the engine out in a couple of weeks. Then I can see how much this is really going to cost me. Bad gear forks for one, then there is the issue of the constantly sinking valves . . . need to find a cheap Bandit 1200 motor and just drop my cams in there . . .
