Did ya ever nick your dads bike and go for a sedate spin to the beach for ice-cream? has to be sedate, she's 60 years old now, runs like a watch. with loud exhausts coz' them internals have long rotted away :)

Think I'd better bring home some ice-cream.

Taken in a hurry with my phone, probably the most photographed place on earth, but I hadn't seen it before. Do you know where I am?

Really wish I had packed a better camera on this holiday.

Weather's great so, uh, take bike appart and hit it with the angle grinder?

Really didn't want to ditch the six pot brakes, I feel it's such a 90's thing, but brakes that work are a useful feature, and an overhaul now is 8 seal and pistons, not 12 seals and pustons.

Actually might finish it after lunch.

Finally got it out of the box, setup, explore the new features, amazed at those, and the extreme exhaust fan noise.

So what do I do with this monster that I couldn't do with my ender 3? yup bag clips.

Just finished up in my shed, came in and washed my hands over the sink which contained my favorite coffee mug, washed mug as well and had my coffee, it's tastes of petrol.

Lord tests me.

small spin, loads of people didn't turn out because the weather report was bad, they missed out!

not my photo, yoinked it from a friends facebook post, he always has a good camera with him.

Tough week, car broke, rushed out on my bike to rescue her, after the repair, in a hurry forgot about the disc lock and to make it much worse I had moved the bike backwards so had a good run up and really crunched things. Had to really muscle the broken lock off, the only silver lining I suppose was that I had my good tools with me. Raided spare YZF for parts, so maybe in the new year it'll be a pinky? Also (if anyone remembers) that H100 I'm rebuilding, ya, neutrals not where it's supposed to be...

Really nicely designed print, check the build guide for some really nice engineering details (very short video)

Got it appart! it's the five speed gearbox so I went and blew 520 euro on go faster bits.

The barrel broke, had to resort to a metal pipe and the BFH bashing on the piston to seperate them. everything after the crank is mint.

It seems it died because of the left hand crank seal walking out, I'll 3d print a tool to make sure that's inserted fully and not doing that again.

So next week it'll be shiny bits and the hunt for a suitable chassis.

A side highlight of my week, got to test ride a suzuki goose 350, on paper really heavy, but it was really chuckable, even with tyres from the 90's I was going a bit too hard after 10 minutes :D

Last week i was chatting away to my counsellor, and we came up with a novel idea, body doubling works for most of us to get stuff done, makes it easier to get up and start when others are doing a thing.

For me it also works the other way, if everyone else is sitting down, watching TV and winding down, i find it really hard to get up and do the things i'd rather do, like near impossible.

Anyone else notice anything similar?

I might need more then sandpaper and diesel to revive this 44 year old honda h100a
