Gimme Havit 2014

some of the best people I know, doing what we love to do... riding

 

something from last year

 

just wishing the weather was better... but it is getting there...

been a while since I posted, but had a lot going on, so here is something to tide you over till I can get things sorted out.... It was a beautiful day for taking some pictures and I had a couple of friends who were more than willing to dress up for me... lol. these are all original, so please enjoy.

 

this first young lady is named Savanah, beautiful ink on beautiful skin...

 

and this one is Julie, sry guys, she is taken...

 

well as I said it was a beautiful day, after pictures we went for a ride and then enjoyed some home made soup... thanks ladies.

So, I won't bore you with all the details, but I thought I scored a Hondamatic, just to have as a toy, maybe help my daughters and my wife learn to ride... blah blah blah. The guy brought it over to my house to drop it of and rolls this thing onto my driveway....

The pull start was in pieces, "I can't get this back together, I'll drop the price $50 if you still want it" he guaranteed me it ran, so eh I bought it. there was a Cerclip and the ratchet springs were missing, so I fixed it and within 15 minutes of the dude driving off I was tearing down the driveway and around the neighborhood. Actually it's fun to ride, it travels at a pretty good speed and handles beautifully.

After a little research I now know that what I have is a Kawasaki KZ305 chassis and an ATC200 motor, the headlight and tail light work, so I am hoping I can rig up blinkers and fix the brake light so I can get it registered and plated.

My oldest daughter and I are thinking maybe a cream white paint job, with a splash of color over pin striping, but we'll see. For what I paid, I could probably sell the back tire and recoup my money, so all in all, I am happy with this one.

flea mrkt/rummage finds

 So I had a couple bucks in my pocket last week, and went carousing at the local flea market after which I stopped at a rummage advertising "fishing and tools" I think I did pretty good. It never hurts to have an extra seat lying around and now I can get mine recovered.

 A set of bars, old luggage rack ( hmmm, Triumph Project), a beat up license plate mount and you can never have enough gun locks.

 

 I fell in love with these 1938 Chevy tail lights, he was selling them as a set, but as you can see the lenses don't match, I don't care, these are going on bike projects anyway.

 

miscellaneous tools, never owned drill bit stops, didn't make much sense to me, but at .25 cents each who could say no.

 

some sweet Craftsman chisels, the guy took care of his shit, good shape and sharp

 

doweling jig, in original box all parts present, damn I may have to take up wood working

  

fixture to hold corners together for framing and box making...

 

 and finally assorted taps, with tap wrench and a glass cutter

there was also a throttle cable and assembly for 7/8 bars, needed one so what a coincidence and other pieces, parts.... all and all I spent less than $75.00, so I call that a good weekend, now back to the projects...
