umberto:
I figured you were still working. How's the job coming?
We were going to ride on some land our other cousin owns, but he bailed at the last minute so we ended at Draper. It was a pretty much under water. We rode a bit of the red, black (we turned right after the tires), green, and the grass track. We rode 23 miles, and neither one of us can move today. :-D
Danger4u2:
We finished around 1 yesterday. Off today. Riding behind the shop this afternoon.
umberto:
Sounds like fun. The weather couldn't be better right now.
umberto:
With my aluminum conversion done and my kids off at college leaving me with a lot of time, I am going to finally finish the last few items on Goliath. Step one was to get one of Larry's decompression levers for the head. I always had an issue with having the bike down long enough to get the head modified, but I could not find an 88 head. I check eBay every few days looking for one, and for almost three years I have had no luck. Yesterday I finally found one in excellent condition. As I looked at it I realized the ad looked familiar, and sure enough it was one of Sandblaster's ads. We swung a deal, and it should be on its way to Larry next week.
I am also going to be cleaning up the welds on the frame where necessary, and will be sending it off to powder coat. I going to go with a bright silver, like the 2007 two strokes. If anyone knows of a good powder coater, let me know. I only have one close to me, and I think he is a bit high on the price.

My last frame cost me 225 to have it stripped and coated in Kiwi Green.
How much is your guy asking?
