Baby ciao

Lulz it's coming together

Uphill Battle Presents: Zwicklemania 5, Break your Moped Break Your Heart A Mega Rally Registration

Registration is now closed

Winter is dumb or a tale of getting more bikes

So I ended up getting a ciao frame again as well as a kickstart euro motor to go on it. The new C-Word is gonna be 50cc finger port blasting. I miss riding a ciao around the streets so I wont make it a race bike again. I am gonna leave the stupid fast parts for the si.

In other news I got folsom to rebuild the dino-bike because im all crippled. I also welded the seat one handed and by not looking at it so its probably legit. The seat is way better its about times this is a dubs bike. The 11 front sprocket slows it way down since it is 100 percent stock

I have this team garelli tank coming from Italy. I wont say much more but its gonna be rad once that build is done.

Its gonna get busier here soon. My arm is doing a lot better but I still cant ride or wrench. I have at least 6 weeks of physical therapy left so Im hoping that I can be riding in 3 or 4 weeks. That doesnt leave much time to finish the builds for the rally in feb but Im just gonna have to wrench like crazy. Jim is gonna weld the motor mounts on the briton frame this weekend so it will be ready to put together soon. I need to figure out a tank for that but I can probably just have jimbro make one. I cant wait there is gonna be a lot of fun vespa tuning happening soon stay tuned!

Britton bees and k10s

I got the k10s to fit. I ordered up some new axles and tubes so I can get the wheels on this and have jimbrah weld up the motor mounts that mopagen sent me. He hooked up a set for the cost of shipping because they need a lot of work. After that I've gotta figure out where the pegs are gonna go and get a tank figured out as well.

In order to get the k10s to fit in the britton frame I had to go get the top beating race from a bicycle because the bearing cup set treats sells doesn't quite fit. Luckily meticon bikes here in Portland hookedd me up with the part for free. I think I'm gonna go with clip ons for bars instead if modifying the forks clamps to take 7/8" bars.

The engine should be super legit and a lot of fun on this bike. Hopefully I get this done for the uphill battle rally in February!

Ill try and keep updating this blog a lot but I've been having other people help with the work a lot since I still can't use my arm at all yet. I won't be like that ASSHOLE SEB and never update my blog.

A slight preview

post op.....

So i had to get some surgery on my shoulder a bit more than a week ago. I had whats called a
 SLAP tear. which required a biceps tenodesis

Its gonna be a long recovery some where around 6 months. I wont be able to ride for six weeks. so wrenching is out of the question for a bit. Ill keep this updated with the other goings on though.

Nothing happened this weekend

Obligatory few pictures from the weekend.

The weekend or more from the last few days.

Its never too cold to rip into a bag...

This picture really reminds me of this album cover. If you haven't heard it listen to it now and enjoy.

Nik likes to drink at the acres even though he is a fucking puddle cutter.

 Cisco consumption leads to confusion.

Remember young coconut milk can make your life 100 times better the next morning. It is a fantastic way to prevent hang overs. It also taste delicious.

This is slightly before the best quote of the weekend was uttered. "Eric get your fucking face out of the god damn fire!"

He looked like a bit of a burn victim.

My room mates are drunks and I wouldnt have it any other way.

 This just came out and it is fantastic.

I forgot to mention this. I got this from Matt from the bang gang, I am pretty stoked on it. I was going to turn it into a butt flap because I haven't had one since high school. There was only 15 made and I scored #13!!!! sick.....


Ill have some more goodies to post soon. I got the wiring figured out on my mb5 and I forgot how much fun that bike is to ride. It does however make me ride like an asshole but that's ok with me.

Friday nights or we get a marginal amount if work done

Nate made an amazing fender out of a paper plate the other night it looks way professional i know DO NOT BE FOOLED

we had our monthly gang bbq so that mean Jimbrah came up and did some welding for me. My garelli tank supports broke so he welded em up since i am a terrible welder.

speaking of gang meetings this is how well eric was able to stand by the end of the night.

We then decided to burn an acoustic guitar i found on the street. it was terrible anyway. I ended up having to work this weekend since I had extra days off for Trick or Treat 2 so I might not get much else done this week. I did mange to score the Mear kit from treats for one one my v1 builds thats coming up.

Right now I have quite a few bikes ahead of me this winter;

 I  have my kickstart v1 with a dr 50cc aluminum kit that is going on my gadabout frame. That engine should be together by next month with a 16mm sha  and tomos homoet pipe. 

My pedal start v1 is going to get rebuilt with the mear kit and a bennesar pipe from my tomos back in the day. all that is going to be welded up to my Lady bee briton frame with tomos hydraulic forks and mags that i have. I just need to make an intake and use the 24mm mikuni ive all ready go sitting around. 

My Si is a long way off and needs a lot of machine work to be what its going to be. It is going to be worth the amount i need to do to it. that bike is way off.

My golden bullet Joemos just needs the hi comp head i have for it put on, a little jetting and lights if I want it to ride on the street. I want to try and get that done next weekend because that bike is a lot of fun to ride.

So pretty much I have four builds I need to get done this winter plus the other few bikes I have that run currently. With a little bit of luck I can get up to 8 running bikes at the same time. Time will tell. Stay tuned for more soon.

I have too many fenders you should buy some
