    Not any progress since breaking my left hip Saturday evening and getting screws and a steel plate installed Sunday morning.
    I FINALLY found a GOOD excuse not to ride or work on any bikes, eh?

                Horses don't have brakes either, BTW.

                        The worst part is that I had just picked up the machined pistons and was ready to hang them, install cylinder and head.
                        Swing arm is due to arrive Thursday. It should have been up and running by the end of next week! Arrrr!
                        Hopefully, by Thanksgiving now...

                                The only way that this is bike related is that I had the box of pistons in my arms at the time. I have never laid down a street bike except while parked in the driveway.
                                Come to think of it, I have never broken a single bone on a dirt bike either.

                                    you didn't hurt the pistons did you?
                                    OMG!
                                    was this just a freak accident...like tripping and landing wrong?

                                                Disclaimer: No pistons were harmed in the making of this film...




                                                No Ray Rea involvement in this build. Thus the machining of the pistons to avoid adding any extra holes to them.

                                                        No body cast but I do get these pieces of jewelery removed this Friday...



                                                        Then, it is back to doing cartwheels.

                                                            I cant wait to see if you sell any prints of that at 46.99. May be a good one to stick on the fridge as a diet aid.
