Success

The package arrived on the other side of the ocean just a few days ago.

You are beautiful.

BITCHES!

PURRS LIKE A FUCKING KITTEN.

More motorbike.

So the starter turns, that's a good sign. Problem is the main fuse gets really hot. I couldn't find any wires that were improperly grounded, but I found a number of wires that were... Weird? The previous owner did something goofy with the wiring; he soldered some together and wonky things like that. Anyway, the high beams don't work, the turn signals don't flash and the brake light doesn't work. The horn doesn't work, but that's because there isn't one ha. I'm sure it all just comes down to dirty and corroded connections in the wiring which won't be too much of a fuss really. I did lose a blade terminal for one of the plugs because the wiring had a hole in the insulation and the wire was rotted/corroded inside; I cut it and took out the terminal for the plug and dropped it (damn). That might be the only issue to be honest because it was a main wire. I'll be picking up some new wiring things at Transistor Hut today.

I have to figure out the clutch adjustment because right now the kick start and the starter motor do not engage the engine with the clutch in. And the electric start doesn't turn unless the clutch is in. Oh my.

Motorcycle is nearly resurrected

My motorcycle is nearly resurrected. Today I got the engine back into the frame. Tomorrow I'll be bolting it in; at the moment it's only in position which was my goal today.

I have this idea that most humans are probably stronger than they think. My engine probably weighs 3x of what I do. I carried up a set of stairs. I think this goes to show that, regardless of the fact that other apes are much stronger for their body sizes, humans are still pretty fucking strong. We live in such a cushy world with technologies that make things easier and less painful we don't realize it. And come to think of it the motorcycle itself is a good example of that. Transportation. We could all easily make our way on foot across continents, we did it before. Now we've just gotten lazy.

That's silly. I'm not right in the head for now.

PS: I just read the average pair of shoes lasts from 300-600 miles? That's a huge range really... But anyway. It'd take more than one pair of shoes to walk across the states.

Today is career day.

Yet another.

I've decided on what I'm going to do with this blog, I think. I'll continue regularly putting up the collages and if I start seeing a show of interest in them I may eventually set up a proper domain separately for them. Personal thoughts, journals and various blurbs will be regular on here as well.

When things eat at you, eat away.

Eventually there will be a schedule to this, but for now I want to get input and interest people so here's another for your viewing. Again, let me know what you think on here or by other means and if you like the page and such tell a friend.
