"eeh GOOD news everyone!"

If all goes well the engine rebuild should start in the first week of December, so not long to go.
It all needs to be taken apart and properly rebuilt. Sludge trap, bearings/bushes, etc.
Nothing extravagant at all, no exotic bits, at least not this time around. Standard specs, possibly just a rebore if needed.

I'm not gonna lie to you...

I'm not gonna lie to you guys, this thing is going to take a LONG time. Why start a blog if I have barely started to do anything on this bike?
Yes, it would have been much more satisfying for everyone to see it done, from start to finish, without having to wait for ages for a new post, etc.
Well, first of all I doubt there are too many people following this, mostly I wanted to have the blog name secured and be able to document the build so I could share it with a few buddys once it was all done.
So, sorry to keep you waiting, I'm more anxious than anyone to do some miles with this thing!

It's the simple things, you know?

So, first of all what is this thing?

A chopper, a bobber, a hardtail, a chop, a custom-built, lanesplitter, garage-built...
There are so many labels flying around that I don't want to waste too much time finding one that suits. I'll let you all decide for yourselves what it is, once it finally hits the road.
