"Damn shifter"
Buddy ready to give me the go
Jon Glover who was doing the Lowbrow Customs photography snapped some great shots.

No more shitty phone photos.

Storms a brewin"

Serious winds, if all goes well the hummer won't blow over.


Campsite chaos


It didnt blow over, someone reorientated it into the wind.

 
 We decided to do a little more securing.
It felt like damn 50mph winds

Fuck this app

Wrote a post, now lost forever.
Here's the lowdown:  Pops solidified his record at 47.9375 MPH
I did a run, seized just before finishing the timed mile.  Fucking pissed
Got another another run, let it four stroke till I got to the start of the timed mile.  Ran well, backed off a few times when I could feel the piston tightening up.    GPS top speed - 54 MPH
Timing slip 51 and change.
Back in Impound.   Threw another head gasket in to raise the compression.  Charge the battery.
Back up run tomorrow morning.  Break record.



Good Morning record racers

Everything looks better with a little salt

Sunday
Seized a motor
Freed it up
Went to help a stranger
Got stuck, real bad
Got out
Got stuck again
Repeat last two
Got out for good
Got one record run!
Record impound
Pizza
Sucess
Tomorrow, given the bike runs 2 miles we will have a record.
Then we can try to get this bike to scream.
