Bieks are looking great. When I get back from Spring Break, if you need any help, I'll cruise on up and give you a hand. I've been dying to do some mechanical work and since my dad decided to buy a Suzuki Samurai instead of having me swap a turbocharged motor in his 240, I have absolutely nothing to do for a long time.  I tried telling him that a 250whp Volvo 240 with a side exit 3" turbo-back exhaust is just as good of a vehicle to tow behind his RV but he wasn't buying it

Take a stock SV, put a top box on it, fill it with carbon fiber vinyl wrap, a heat gun, a multimeter, soldering and wiring kit and a Ducati clutch set. Label it "the Duc Doc". Bam, most popular bike of the show.

With 7 hours asleep and 10 minutes foraging, that's 13h and 50 minutes doing exactly WHAT? You should.. We should be afraid. The barbarian might start welding.

You are the most infuriating motorcyclist ever. I swear to god, when will you get yourself something so prosaically practical that you will have no compulsion whatsoever to take it apart, improve it, part it out, or otherwise diminish its function as a motorcycle? A PC800, perchance?

Dzus posted:The bike, what you see is all that remains.  I actually had a dream last night that I blew on an engine on a DRZ400SM and was just thinking about how to deal with it...figured I'd part the bike out, buy an E model, swap the frame, and pull some profit out of the entire deal. Anyways: I got the job, super excited about that, I'll start on Monday. My first headlight assembly is built up:  I learned a lot while welding it, and I still have some prettying up to do on it, another cross brace, and some other odds and ends, but it seems strong and functional. For the first piece of anything I've ever really welded, it's fine. I'm going to design the next one somewhat differently to try and be more aesthetically pleasing, this one is ugly. First round of paint should be done today, hopefully.

That headlight assembly looks pretty good, definitely a million times better than what I could do. Heck, I'd probably set it on fire while screwing in the nuts. What's the job? Are you a DoD contractor that is going to invent awesome motorbikes that travel over any terrain and carry turrets?

Well, the friend I'm working on the bike for likes it, so good enough I'm gonna be doing backend sysadmin type stuff and some conference organizational stuff for a tech company here in the bay area. Should be a lot of fun, plus the chance to travel internationally! No exciting DoD stuff, or welding stuff, or bikes stuff. I'm just like every other stereotypical goon and a computer janitor on weekdays and a M1 toting BotchedLobotomy posted:2-wheeled baneblade.  Anyways, finished the SV up today, rode it around a bit, installed turn signals, made a bracket for the radiator, and took care of other minor bullshit. Tomorrow I'm gonna make rearsets for my SV and go to a midnight premiere of The Avengers! Oh and I ordered an Aerostich for test fitting and bought a new helmet.   Can't wait to get it and finally retire my Spec1R with no accidents after 3 years, 2 seasons of racing, and trackdays, supermoto, and long trips.  I tend to buy last season's helmets, so this is the 3rd one I've retired due to age out of...6. 8 if you count the dirtbike helmets.
