Winter Bike Project . . .

ABATE was there and they were weak . . .

What did it, I think, was they had a room full of opposition, including the Vietnam Vets MC, and a few others who made sense about how much bikes really pollute and how onus, and far reaching, the new laws would be on us. You may not realize it, my redneck righteous brother, but compared to everyone else, we're green as frogs. And Al Gore loves you!

As much good as we do by being able (righfully so) to used the daimond lanes, it also makes us hated by the Noisey pipe crowd...Voters wise, we are waaaaay outnumbered!

Hi Nick,

Even if it had passed, I doubt that the State of California has the money to enforce it.

I just got my PE license renewed ( I'm registered in Calif ). Five years ago, when I renewed, I got a nice, credit card sized, plastic embossed card.

Today I got a piece of paper.

You guys are broke!!!!!

Far from winter, but has to be done in time for Sturgis!
Pipeless...:(

Finally after searching my garage for my front belt pulley puller so many times, I said fuck it, and was going to go buy another ,,,but it flashed in my mind where it was setting, (not only because that is where I put it 15 years ago, but , I had looked at it at least 3 times in the past week!

Anyone else ever do that? look for something so hard, instead of actually looking with your eyes, your looking with your brain, and not seeing what is right in front of you? Or did I simply do too many drugs?

Anyway, once the motor was out, things started rockin...

Unfortunately, when I unbolted the tranny, the front mount fell off with the nuts!...(Just as I talked myself into doing the welding myself..., NOT now!, I'm going to a pro)

Just a front fork to go...

Wash it and it is ready for the welder...

Tomorrow at 2:00 PM is Nina's scheduled CHP inspection . . .

I'm going to truck her down to the CHP station so they can't bust my ball for my vertical plate holder and a myriad of other things that aren't legally part of their inspection. (But would be citations out on the road.) This is only supposed to be a numbers check on Nina's motor, frame, and transmission. And I have all that supporting paperwork.

So I'm going to audio tape it (surreptitiously) and if tomorrow's DZ.com homepage headline reads, "NickD - Killed in Hail of Police Gunfire!" Find the tape before they plant me and know it was only because they hassled me way too freaking much!

BTW, here's the e-mail I received form the CHP after I applied for the inspection . . .

I edited out the officers name and station in case he Googles himself tonight, LOL!)

Date: July 1, 2010
Day of Week: Thursday
Time: 2:00 PM

*PRIOR TO YOUR VIN APPOINTMENT*

● A referral from the DMV is required to be seen for VIN
verification. Visit the DMV and post fees to obtain a referral and form REG 124.

● Plan ahead. The inspection will take 45 minutes or more.

● If you cannot make your appointment, call to reschedule (626) 296-8100.

●The vehicle must be in full and legal operating condition (per 5505 CVC). No illegal window tint, modified emissions, or modified exhaust, etc.

● If the airbag(s) deployed, they are required to be replaced and the entire airbag system must pass a self test - no exceptions.

DAY OF VIN APPOINTMENT

● You must be on time. If you are more than 15 minutes late, you will not be seen.

●The registered owner must be present at the time of the inspection.

● VALID driver license is required. Unlicensed drivers will have their vehicles impounded.

● Please bring any and all supporting documents you may have. (For example: Incomplete Application from DMV, Certificate of Title,
Bill of Sale, Statement of facts, etc).

SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES / MOTORCYCLES

● Special construction vehicles must have a completed DMV Form REG 5036 (available online) and supporting documents and receipts for all parts used on the vehicle from start to finish.

● If your special construction vehicle was constructed or rebuilt using major aftermarket components, a Manufacture’s Statement of Origin (MSO) will be required on all frames, engines, and transmissions.

● If your MSO states or indicates “case only”, you will be required to provide satisfactory evidence of ownership of engine and/or transmission internal components. “I bought them at the swap meet” is not a valid explanation and will not be accepted as evidence of ownership.

●If an identification number is assigned, the placement of the plate will be at the VIN Officer’s discretion.

Me again - Everything I don't have a receipt for I fabbed up in garage so they can kiss my ass . . .

One of the things that helped my wifes un numbered motor pass threw inspection, Is my recept for the left side, was from the mo.highway patrol, bought at one of ttheir auctions, the right side came from our salvage, No numbers on either side, other than belly numbers used by the factory to keep cases together...

I was still sweating though, passing a totally unnumber harley threw the MHP inspection? Oh yeah, another thing that helped, I was a lisensed Mo. state motorcycle safety inspector..(So I could pass alll my friends choppers for a safety sticker);)B|

I hate to admit it but all of the metal sheets and bits like that I scrounged out of my local dumpsters. I went around every Sunday morning to all the auto body shops, machine shops, and auto mechanic places in my neighborhood. You'd be amazed at what those cats just throw way . . .

Remember that old... short lived... T.V. show "Salvage One"???

Maybe your next "Winter Project" could be you and Julia building a spacecraft to go to the moon out of old "stuff" y'all find in a dumpster... maybe even use a dumpster as the body for the capsule!??!

;)
