New Engine

I've got a new engine coming to me from the Toronto area. It was a bit of a mess trying to get it with a friend finding the listing for it and setting the initial buy then an online friend of his picking it up, mixed in with a fellow 250 rider offering to pick it up and on and on. I'm really quite anxious to get the engine and it should be here by Monday.

It won't really matter when the engine comes since I'll still be waiting on a clutch cover gasket to arrive and that should be around Wednesday. At least that will give me time to check the valves and maybe ride the Cabot Trail on Woot's F4.

More pictures and updates coming to a blog near you soon! :)

  1. Good going Ryan! Our man in the arena!

    "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. "
