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.

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.
