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.

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.

New Bars
The first set of bars I acquired for the Triumph I ended up donating to GJ's new XS project. Cool 7/8" bars are tough to find but I caught a break last week when Lowbrow Customs sent me email about a small run of Biltwell Tracker bars they had reqested. Couple days later my 7/8" Biltwell Tracker bars arrived superbly packed and even in a protective cotton sleeve so no scratches during their journey. Another great product and service from the guys at lowbrow.

Project Fixed Gear Stand
My brother has been riding his fixed gear Mercier Kilo TT non stop lately so for his birthday I decided to build a display/repair stand. So armed with a couple sizes of square tubing and rough plan in my head I set off to make it a reality. The idea was to have it height and length adjustable to have plenty of versatility. Here's how it turned out.
