i am a rounder and getting a good charge

Just for the record, I took a good ride on Gilera (the bare 1980 R100 BMW) on 11/22 @ 30° and I have been riding Sharona (the dressed 1988 R100RT BMW) the last two days in the twenties. I am a rounder year rounder. Must I prove it too you? There is a website where I can go to qualify to be documented as a verifiable rounder and I may do that.
I just put a ThunderChild diode board in Sharona to replace the blown-up original and replaced alternator brushes and synched carbs. She's good for now.
Gilera has a junk alternator but the rebuilt one came in the mail yesterday so I will get that done ... uh ... I don't know when. I am working in Kentucky M-F for the next 3 weeks at least so I have weekends and then there is Christmas vac. yeah that will have to be it.

I have to go pack now for tomorrow ...

I have things to do so I blog ...




I am supposed to be getting some Saturday morning things done and I have a million things to do so instead I am gooooofing around on the computer. The Stonesifers had linked me to their new blogspot which reminded me that I opened up this one more than a year ago and had done nothing with it since. The awesome title was good enough for a year I guess. Well, I had to go through the gyrations of getting set up with Google now that they are the new owners and once that I got that cleared up so that I could access my own blog then I had to play with the layout a little which prompted me to add Robbie's EMF video. What I would like to do is make this my family and personal news blog and with some experimenting create a seperate blog that documents w/word and pictures different motorcycle builds starting with the Konstantine (1974 BMW R75/6) that Luke and I are attempting to coordinate.
To explain the photos; I was experimenting how they work here. What you see is the After and Before pictures of Paul's Norton Atlas. It worked except they are in the wrong order.
