Get around...

on a moped.

This is my 1979 Puch Maxi N. It has an old Gila kit with after market pipe. Super fun to ride and hauls for an old kitted moped. It still needs a little fine tuning, running a tiny bit rich. 

Well, there is a MB race this weekend in Apple Valley (4-13). Looking forward to running it on the track! I'm still learning how to ride and race so these events makes for good practice (A moped rally is too, but not as safe, you have to worry about cars and stuff).  

Going to be camping there too. Stay tuned for pictures of the event...

Mid August Fun...

...is around my birthday. I started treating myself to some hot rodding, a little after high school, buying myself a gift, then the Chevelle I had and now the pick up. From small car shows to swap meet it grew into something I look forward to every year, Bonneville. This past August, I drove, by myself, to Bonneville. I was also hoping to make it to South Dakota, but my little service truck was having issues. I barely made it back home...
It was hot driving through Vegas and Baker!
The best part of Bonneville speed week (Friends and the races were awesome too) was camping in the hills near the entrance to the salt flats. It was nice to relax, take my time, and even watch the stars. A really nice change.
I met some really nice and interesting people too. There were a lot of people on the road trying to find themselves. One guy drove from the east coast to the west then to Speed week and he's going to settle in Portland, Or.
Between then and now. I've been hitting up some shows (all solo). Took some pictures and will post them up when I can.

it was fun keying in the bike and working out the in-betweens. We got a pencil test the next day and the bike was on the road back to so-cal. mechanic~animator...paper flipper~ wrench turner...puppeteer!
oh, this little project was just a rough pass. Clean-up will take some time...
