There's never been a prettier bike made, ever.
Good job, Norton! It's like restoring a van Gogh.

i love some of ya'll's take on
the domestication curse that has befallen our's species...
i generally celebrate accelerated entropy in my interpretation
of those organized moments.
exploit diluted versions of chaos, i say, and practice.

frustrated that chaco moved it's production to china, i decided to make my own. this is the third pair i have made for myself, and i made one pair for a friend. they do not have a long life, but i love them and love making them. they are the most comfortable shoes i have ever owned.

Lost a couple bolts in the rear suspension of my sled so I had to pull it to replace them.
This is just the start, I'm going to clean the carbs and do the top end too.

Hey Mike, what's up with the short track on that sled? What's that, like a 140?

Treez for the win!!
It's a 151..
Treez you doubt my height bro? Just ask Tami Knight!
I pulled my clutches last night and was very disappointed to find oil and isoflex residue on my PTO!!
So it looks like I'm rebuilding my bottom end too.. I'm hoping that I can crack it and regrease it. The crank seems straight.. We'll see..

Ya seriously.. I've been saying "I can't believe I have to rebuild my motor again" all morning..... Oh well I guess it will be cool for you guys!! I'm thinking about investing in an aftermarket PTO seal/cover so I don't run into this again soon. (I rebuilt my bottom 2 years and 6500 some odd k ago.
http://www.c-tpowersports.com/2013%20Website/Product/PTO%20Bearing%20Buddy-REV.html
This serves two purposes, it eliminates the seal and allows you to grease your PTO bearing as well as functioning as an overflow for the iso it won't pop the seal when it expands.

It isn't much compared to just about everything else on this thread, but I did build it.
I refuse to join a climbing gym and pull plastic in exchange for money, just because I don't have too many partners right now. So, I use this 3 times a week. Plus, can approach training in a very systematic way.
In a week I am moving to a new place about 5 minutes from Kraft Boulders, so I can start working in sessions there along with my 3 a week on the "doorway of pain" (tm)

In the late seventies I wanted new motocross bike. My Dad didn't know anything about bikes. He took me to check out a nice bike he saw for sale. It was a 1973 Norton just like Norton's. He didn't really understand the difference, it was a motorcycle after all. He thought it was a beauty (and it was) but I had found a used Suzuki RM 250 that I wanted. So I got that.
Another time I should have listened to my Dad!!!
