So This Is What Happens
When you forget to put down the kickstand. Punctured Dyna cover by the gear changer. Impossibile to find. So I am going to have some C&C made. I guess it is common, because they are only 2mm or so thick. So I am going have them made twice as thick. Patched with compound to stop the leaks enough to get it to the shop.
My Dream Restored
Yeah, I know, some of you purists would say the case covers should be silver, drums, etc, but, I like em polished, and that's the great thing about these bikes, you can put your own twist on em! And, yeah, also the seat is too puffy. I am redoing that.....

Back From China
Cables, Cables, more Cables
The Soldering Station
The Cable Factory
Crimping Ends
Ok, so they took me out to dinner after the visit to the factory and ordered me snake. Rude not to try, but it is supposed to be good for, well, you know....
Ok, these WERE actually tasty
Nanjing, Old Town
Candied Crabapples
Is this where the saying "Putting all your ducks in a row" comes from?
The Bullet Train (200 mph+) station. I swear the Chinese have it on us as far as transpo.
One of the hotels I stayed at.
