Winter showed up. Now it can piss off 😉
My bike is home! Running and beautiful. After an hour or so at the shop, we got it all assembled, fresh oil and ready to run. It was a beauty day so I just rode it home. Felt great being on the bike if even for just a few km’s. Since it’s been home i’ve been busy ripping it back apart to do the clip on installation. Everything is stripped down now. Once the mirror brackets come home from powder coating, it will get the final assembly and be ready for when spring officially shows up. Hopefully in time for a nice long ride on my birthday at the end of the month. If you are curious about my build log click HERE. Or if you want to see the plans you can click HERE.
Still driving Jetta. Pretty good for a cheap VW. It burns a bit of oil, which I fully anticipated being a 2L 8v engine. Hopefully she continues to run as well for a long time to come – under my Dad’s supervision. Goal is to get ahead this spring/summer and then look at something a bit more “me”. Small running list of cars to consider. Time will tell.
Finally a couple sad updates. Hopefully this is the end of the trend. Katie and Brians kitten “Lucy” has gone missing. Little bugger ran out the door and disapeared. We are still hopeful they she comes home safe and sound soon. If you see a little kitty in the Hagersville area with no tags on it, please let me know. And if that wasn’t enough bad news, Mom and Dads other dog has now passed away as well. Not so much as a month since Karmin’s passing we have now lost Nash as well. He hasn’t been well for quite some time and with Karmin passing he seemed to give up. Rest in Peace Nashy.
