Mechanical progress

To help determine the extent of the damage woot and I removed the engine from the bike and tore off the head. The findings were not good but things look a little better than we thought. I'm still looking to replace the engine entirely but the hunt for a reasonably priced engine is slow going.

I had some fun with my camera during the work so here's the process of removing the engine and removing the head. Pretty fun!

  1. Find a motor yet? Your public wants to know!

  2. There looks to be some hope - one may be located in Toronto, give it a couple days for shipping... we could see him in action in Monday-Wednesday.

    Once the motor is in the mail I'm sending him around the Cabot Trail - he'll get to experience a few extra cc's, and one of my favorite roads, good food and some decent camping.
