Mounting the Elephant. (motor)




Well Mike has been busy the last couple of days. My other commitments have kept me away once we got the motor and trans mocked up. So Mike set out to build the mounts. We looked at a friends car for motorvation and away he went. I bent up a dropped crossmember for the trans. This is where we are today and now body sub floor and mounts are on the horizon.

The imfamous Mouse Trap

Found this pic from the early eighties in a box of junk. Use to tear the streets up in this and later the drag strip. Many fell victim to it. Ah the days gone by.

BACK BEHIND BARS

Good to see a day with sun and 73 degrees. Traded for a twinkie powered Flh standard during the winter. I had not really had a chance to get out and ride it till today. Don't get me wrong I love my old iron but there sure is something to be said about throwing your leg over the saddle hitting the button and going. This bike has a few things that are a first for me as well. A radio and nothing is broken or falling off of it. Well that's about all for now Ride Free.
