This is my friend Kyle's 1980 yamaha XS650 that was having problems keeping all of the fluids inside the motor so I sourced a replacement engine from the junkyard and swapped it for him. Also builing a custom seat and replacing the gas tank with a brand new reproduction tank.
In other news, my trusty roadbike let me down thursday at a very inoportune moment....I was on a date and the whole point was to have a nice leisurely bike ride to delaware park for some live music. 3 or 4 blocks in the rear tire blew out on me and we had to chain up the bikes and walk the rest of the way. I got a new tube and fixed it up sunday, but it was still a downer on the date. Oh, well. That thursday night got worse when I got a phonecall at 11pm to find out my uncle had died very suddenly. Still can't really beleive it. I'll keep this updated with my garage projects as it's what I seem to be spending the most time with lately besides playing the occasional Open Mic night with my band-mate Ryan.
That's all for now
