Fire and Earth

I took a vintage Webco points cover that I recently purchased down to the State Brass Foundry and asked if they could replicate it in brass. They agreed and a few weeks later they called and said it was ready.

It was poured with Silicon Bronze which has more copper content.



I had to drill out the mounting holes.



Took a bit of 220 grit to it to clean it up and the brass color came out a little more.



Here it is mounted up on the Triumph.

Guardsman Pass

In all my years i've never been over Guardsman Pass. It's closed much of the year due to snow but still open now so Sunday we set out for an adventure.

Just around one of the first bends this moose was charging down the road straight at us but luckily turned up the hill just feet from us. My camera wasnt handy so this is best pic I could get.



The road turns to a washboard rutted dirt stretch for a mile or two once you reach the summit and drop over the back side.



It's rather scenic and worth a drive.






We dropped down into Deer Valley and through Park City. Great Sunday drive.

Never Underestimate the Handlebar

You'd be amazed at the level of patience and attention it takes to be the custodian of such a ridiculous facial statement. It has become it's own mythical entity and I am merely the humble guardian. I can attest to the magical powers it holds but am still just a young apprentice with much to learn in the ways of the mustache. It's not for everyone but I do recommend it at least once in your life. Be prepared as it also requires great patience and love from those around you as well. They will not be spared from possible public embarrassment being seen in public with you so it takes a community to raise a great 'stache.

It's a journey of discovery and I am only just beginning.

Patio

Ate dinner on the patio last night. Even plugged in the lights. I over seasoned the grilled zucchini but I know better for next time.

Two wheel tuesday

Saw this crazy Harley chop at a show this weekend.

Triumph hooray!

Well it's been a long time since I've been in the shop but last night I finally got back to work. My dad and brother made the long haul through all the construction to come help out too, which I was pretty excited about.

I've been working on rebuilding the Amal 930 single carb but it was missing a few a few vital components which took a few days to track down some replacements.







After taking it apart about 10 times I finally got it back together with the new gaskets.

Next we mounted the twin ignition coils, put together the new cloth wrapped spark plug wires, installed the brass terminal nuts, and swapped in new spark plugs.





Lastly I put the exhaust on and set the tank back in place just to check it out. Long way to go but feels good to make a little progress.
