HAHAHAHAHAHA

Why do my halls echo with the sounds of my crazy, maniacal laughter? Because i've (nearly) finished the bike rebuild!

See, at first it was like this:



And it was fine but then i made a few changes... subtle like. But then this winter i got the inspiration and for a few months it looked like this:




And those were sad times but i did not lose faith... Now I have this:



Holy shit!



Though i'm still missing a front brake line, it feels like i took the chains off an angry dog. The engine is alive now that I've added the lightness and removed the stupid air box. Plus i sprinkled the carb with magic fingers.



(Eyeball those K&N intakes!) But best of all it looks like it's gonna push you down and take your lunch money! It makes me want to put on my leather and go start bar fights!


This is gonna be the best summer EVAH!

{que up the Black Label Society}

today i resume my position as corporate whore

Brutal

my day

Today I had to meet with some corporate stooges about some corporate clown-shoing, so it seemed like a rare situation where i should style my hair. My hair, you see, is approaching shaggy because, well, I'm a poor college student and it's how we do.

However, today is also a March day, which means it falls in Mustache March, and certain people insist that i grow a mustache. Of course to let only a mustache grow in would be peder-ast of one, meaning I start rocking the whole beard.

Now my hair is styled and my 5 days worth of George Michael facial hair is kicking. But alas, it's sunny and warm for the firs time in 2010, thus i would be a fool to leave the house without the convertible!


(Here it is, surrounded by the still melting snow)

Top down in a Miata, with a George Michael beard and gelled hair. Suspicious? Yes, but given the benefit of the doubter, one might say, "My, that dapper sports car enthusiast must have a job interview today," and actually believe it... Until the radio started playing Hall and Oats "Man Eater."

And i turned it up.



(Dammit, if Hall and Oats is wrong then i don't want to be right.)



What say you, Mega Shark?




In other news...

Here is a preview of the soon to be released (from the basement) motorcycle, with mad rebuild.



That is all.




(It could have been worse... it could have been this version. I still wouldn't have changed the station.)
