Chain hanging out....

Chain hanging out....

Don’t beleive ‘em when they tell you, ” It was running when I got it!”, unless you see it yourself!  I went to take off the valve cover to replace the gasket and found a broken exhaust cam chain which happens to drive both cams. looking down into the crankcase, I also noticed that the primary shaft Hy-Vo chain is off track with the end of the exhaust chain jammed in it. This repair will require splitting the crakcase and I’m not really looking forward to doing that as that requires the removal of all exterior assemblies from the crankcase…. it’s going to be a loooong winter!

New member and interested in the 100 mile spring ride

December 13th, 2009

Been watching the site and am glad to see the vintage enthusiasm. I have been into the old bikes since before they were vintage. My but the years do pass quickly. Here are some of the toys. The project is a 1967 Bonneville and should have no trouble hitting the pavement by spring. Have a group of friends here that have vintage stuff (mostly British) and we would be very interested in the 100 miler. If the logistics would work out we could have at least 8 bikes. Keep up the good work and I looking forward to being a part.

100 Mile Ride 2010

December 1st, 2009

Still thinking about a first ever 100 mile ride for this Summer.  My apologies to anyone not in Northeast Ohio – you’re of course welcome to come here and join in, and hopefully this will be a success and for 2011 we can shift locations.

There are a ton of blanks in this plan, but my thinking at this point is still starting out in Hudson, riding to the Winking Lizard at Peninsula/Scenic Railroad, then taking some scenic route to eventually end up at Summit Racing in Akron. 

Somewhere in there we’ll have to make a fuel stop and my biggest concern is everyone getting home safely after the reception.  I would love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this….and I would really move to make this event happen.
