"Where did whooo go?!"
Thirty seconds. We went like this, he went like that. I said to Hollywood, "Where'd he go?" Hollywood says, "Where'd who go?"
That's right I've been off the blog radar for a bit. Making more changes. Due to limited space and money I will be building motorcycles instead of cars. This was my wife's idea and it's hard to argue when she says 'just build bikes, that's what you love anyway'. Armed with this and a couple bucks I bought a YZF600R that was banged up and had some title issues. My wife sorted the title out and I've ordered the parts to make it whole. Then I'll sell it and hopefully make a couple bucks. This will help me buy a couple of projects for the winter that I'll build and sell come spring. Phew, things are changing finally.
I fixed some issues on the truck and have been driving it daily since July. Damn hot summer! The truck has been a loyal and faithful old thing but its time to let her go. I have her listed on Craigslist here- http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/2647084532.html.
I also have Rhonda, my A100 listed, on Craigslist here- http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/cto/2640646471.html. However, Wifey just called from DMV and Rhonda now has current registration. The issue from day one was the $600 in DMV fees that had to be paid. I did some research and discovered that as a "car collector" the fees for old cars can be waived. So, I sent Wifey in (she charges me $100 by the way) with this info and bam, $260 including tax, she's registered. Now that its registered I might build it up real quick and drive it fro a while. I really didn't think DMV would agree with my interpretation of the Vehicle Code.
The other thing I'm up to is working on other peoples bikes. Hopefully this will all lead to some fun. For right now though I better get to work...Here is some things to look at-
