Dunlop K70 Vintage Motorcycle Tire 

Bobs Garage in the 70's




Bobs Place

While training at Action in Langley we brought my bike from my dad's garage to Bob's garage. WOW!











Action!

I am exhausted and thrilled. I have been learning all sorts of amazing things at Action Motorcycle School this past week.
Passsed my MSA test! Yes! Went for my first street ride at night around the township of Langley and I feel great. There was a perma grin on my face. I have lots to learn and I am not going t be the best rider right away, but that's the great part about being a rider, so much to learn.

just a before shot for reference.

TIMING FAIL

Tried to take it for a few rides around the parking lot. but the timing still needs adjustment and she kept dying on us. I was a bit sad.

so we took her for her first scub down
then hooked her up to all sorts of tubes and worked on the timing.

oh ya lights!

first gear


She is ready to ride now!!! We rolled it out of the warm garage and onto the road. Not going to lie, I was soooo jumping up and down with excitement and then the first time I started her up she roared and the sound was maybe the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. We were playing it a bit risky, since there was still no air filter, (it is in the mail!!) so I only rode it around the complex a few times. Even the neighbor was excited and did a few laps around with me on his Triumph Daytona.

I need a new tail light, look at that beast.
