CB750 Pistons
Posted in adventure on Jul 30th, 2010 6 Comments »
Pistons for the 836cc overbore are enroute. I went with the 10:1 instead of the 12:1 after discovering that the hardened rods are recommended for the 12:1, and I am not really trying to end up with “built” motor out of the deal… Maybe next time around I’ll go 12:1, cam, rods, etc, but keeping [...]

If you read nothing else in this post, read the fact that the Garmin City Navigator: North America 2009 maps are very very bad for the Manastash area. I don’t really mind maps that are incomplete (finding some trail that is not on a map is called exploring), it’s a bit of a sin for [...]

Yes, I haven’t forgotten about the CB750, although it’s been a few weeks since I found the time to work on it! Red (aka Pepper Potts) called around and found a place to do the machine work. I am going to assume they need to get bored one up oversize and then get honed, so [...]
Red, White, and Blueberry

I have had my blue Ninja 250 for a little over two weeks now. Alex has affectionately named her ‘Blueberry’. Even though I am finding it hard and trying at times, I think I am learning. I realize that the nice weather we are experiencing won’t last forever, so today I put 71 miles on [...]
