Apocalyps disappointed but Christmas is great!

By 66 Underachiever
After surviving the Apocalyps we drank coffee and went to Irv Seaver to pick up throttle cables for the R100S and the Orange Farmers Market to buy food. We saw this nice Vette on the way to Irv Seaver.

That '63 might be faster but this one's beige!





Then I put a new Lithium Iron battery in the R50. The battery weighs about 1.5 pounds and is smaller than stock. I'm trying it out because I've had an ongoing problem with corrosion on the cables with the last two lead acid batteries, even when they are new. I replaced the cable ends with the last battery and had corrosion in about two weeks. If this works better I'll let you /2 owners know. one thing better is the gen light never came on at idle with headlight and brake light on. That's a first!

This Nexx helmet is comfortable.

I saw a similar pic. of an R69S on Deus Ex Machina's FB page so I copied it.



I like this one!

Waiting for the next Apocalyps.


Lori got me a Leica X2 for Christmas so posts will be photo intense for a while. Sorry...but I love this camera and I'm taking pictures! Here's a few from Christmas day.

Christmas Trees!

    That "Porn Sled" just makes me giggle every time I see it in a photo. Is the plastic front end still pliable, or has it gone all hard and cracked? I really need to see a pic of Lori sitting inside the beige bomber. Something tells me she's truly repulsed by the "sled"! Happy New Year!

    Dear Anonymous ...

    You are a very astute human. Unlike that guy I'm married to.

    Thank you for being you.

    Sincerely,

Rising Sun, Silverado Cafe, NHRA, and Helmet Question!

Mike Hodis of Rising Sun Jeans hosted a post Inspiration party Sunday with all the trimmings. Rising Sun hand crafts denim and work wear on antique sewing machines using traditional techniques and the highest quality materials. Mike's passion for quality is only rivaled by his knowledge and skill. Took the R100S out Santiago Canyon to try out the new throttle cables...they work, and had lunch at the Silverado Cafe . This place is pretty good. It reminds me of the cafes found in small towns far away from California. The waitress was real nice, the food was good, and lunch was less than $10 including coffee! I'm going to try breakfast next time. Cafe Racer Lunch Counter at Silverado Cafe I was honored to be allowed to drink from Rosemary's pretty cat mug. We got more Schott 141 Cafes and 689H Retro Horsehides. We're still waiting for  Women's One Stars. The NHRA Winter Nationals were this week and I hung around the

Pantera motor spotted at Belmont Shores car show today. Thanks for humoring me. This is a test for the mobile blog thing. It finally worked! Since you're here...this car really had a gold plated drivetrain and lots of trim including custom made bumpers. Believe it or not it looked really cool in a strange way. Here you go Barbary Buzzard. Lori got better shot of engine compartment. and the bumpers.

Triumph update, Lori's Goat Farm, and Stalking a Crazy Old Jeep

Lucky Triumph Last week's Triumph troubles are turning out to be a pretty good thing...if you're the Triumph. Lori's been wanting to do something with it for awhile and said, "Since it needs a battery I might as well take the gas tank off and see about paint." So the battery's here, the tank and rear fender are off, she's shopping for a tail light assembly, and pondering some paint options. Here's a few pictures of her tearing it apart after we siphoned the gas out of it. Here's a few more with the color turned on. Agriculture Report The seedlings were transplanted into their new pots Saturday. Lori knocked the bottoms out of the eggshells and planted them with Marigolds to help repel insects. They're taking well to their new homes and look like they've grown in the last twenty four hours! More at  www.townhomesteader.com   Crazy Old Jeep This Jeep caught my eye while fueling up last wee
