    Some pics from summer 8) It's getting cold here in Finland. Fall is coming and riding isn't very comfortable for two reasons. First it's kind of cold to ride when it's bellow 10*C degrees and second when leafs fall and it's wet so it's so damn slippery.. I'm waiting for next summer now 8) So...

    Show and expo were great. Trip went also nicely although it was long. Drove the van nearly 1000 kilometers in those days. But it was worth it for sure. Now I'm waiting to snow to melt motorcycle season to start 8) That is exactly what is happening now. I'll get carbs and everything tuned...

    First thing what I did was looked for a brush and a dust pan. Couldnt find brush so I moved the frozen mouse to the dust pan with a tyre lever. The mouse felt so weird because it was so solid. I threw it to snow blanket. I hope no bird try to eat it. Go ahead and thanks man!

    Winter has came. To me it was nothing like in Game of Thrones. It came fast. Abit too fast. I still got much to do. It was december alredy when I realized I had to get my frame and stuff sandblasted and powdered. I drive around places and asked blastings and powderings. After that I could...

    Thoughts after break down. The cynderhead fixable, but expensive to. New head would be hard to find. Also new pistons, and to hone cylinders wouldve been expensive.. New engine? Very hard to find because cb400t wasnt popular bike those days. Alternatives: expensive fix or new engine, and...
