Basic Egging Only Lately

Parallel

I've been obsessed for the last couple of months with refurbishing my Dad's vintage motorcycle for the last couple of months (minus the three weekends that I spent taking care of a major honeydo list item) As such I've not had the time to do any major egging other than the 40lbs of Boston butt (two 20 lb bathes weeks apart) that I smoked to serve at the respective Birthday parties for our son and foster daughter. As such I've come to realize that with some strategy the BGE fits well even into a hectic schedule.

Anyway... the hard part is nearly done and it's finally time to start putting parts back on her for a change. I might throw a big shindig when she's finished to celebrate and of course that means lots of food from the BGE.

Cool man.  I'm building a hardtail based on a Yamaha SX650 right now.  This thing ain't gonna look anything like the original bike when it's done...the only original parts will be most of the motor/transmission, part of the frame, the wheel hubs/brakes and the front forks.  I'm going for a steam-punk bar hopper.  I'll post some pics at some time.  Just powder coated the hubs/rims and laced up the wheels.  Welded the hard tail on the frame.

Here ya go. This bike sat in a corner of my Dad's garage for 20 years and corrosion took it's toll. That's why I dismantled it as much as I have, to take care of all of the corrosion and keep it from getting worse.

I plan on finishing this in about a year, but sounds good.

That is very impressive, bike will be better than new.  I would be good at taking it apart, but putting back together, maybe not.

Claybar + Carnauba Wax + 15 minutes = AWESOME



Bear in mind that this is a 34 year old tank with the original paint.
