BOTM, wicked! Thanks for all the votes, ladies and gents! It's an honor. No guarantees, but I'm hoping to start a new project soon. Maybe a bobber, maybe an enduro, maybe something in the middle. We'll see. My buddy is picking up a Honda Ruckus soon, so I intend to have some fun helping with...

As promised, here are the latest photos: Last winter/spring Jordan and I tackled some major necessities as well as some cosmetic updates, including: Replaced fork seals Replaced break shoes Chopped and painted front fender for some fork support Replaced busted old mirror Finally got...

Yes that was me! Sorry, been outta the loop lately. Moved, changed jobs, yada yada... Continued work in valve's garage this winter/spring and just got back on the road. I will snap some photos to show off the progress. She's running strong and keeping me quite happy! To be continued...

Sorry for the overdue update! The new CJ360 engine was dropped in, and after a small issue with the carbs, it's been running STRONG all summer. Fires up in 2 kicks! Did a rat rod show, did some cruise ins, long rides in the country, got the bike almost up to 90mph (allegedly), got lots of...

Hey, saw your bike on a couple of the blogs, sounds like it's a big hit.

Will at Poor Bastard Cycle Works is a motherf***ing PRINCE! It might be appropriate now to change the title of this thread to CJ360... I've got a new CJ360 engine on this bike. Total cost? $150 Yeah. I dropped off a bottle of Maker's when I picked up the bike last night. Will did the labor...

More bad news... I need a donor engine. Now that the motor has been opened up, looks like there's quite a bit more mileage on this thing than what we understood when the bike was sold to me. I've got broken piston rings and all kinds of little bits that will need replaced. Does anyone have a...

Re: broke ass slo bike build The Roarer is my favorite Mac prototype, and one of my favorite modern bikes period. I'm counting down the days and saving my pennies for when those go into production in the US.

Sweet baby Jesus that looks good.

Yup. That cam chain wanted some fresh air so it busted right through there. So I'm pretty impressed with Will @ Poor Bastard. He's gonna put on a new top end free of charge. He's rounding up a new bore, top end gasket kit, cam chain & tensioner... and we're hoping to get the bike in early next...

Some more photos. I've been talking with Will today and we'll see what we can figure out. I'm definitely planning to get this addressed.

There are some curse words I'd like to articulate right now, but I'll refrain. Spit oil (or something else slick, brownish and mostly odorless) all over the engine, turned my wrap green, all over my shoes, oil made it onto the back tire and under the seat. So I rode out to a family thing...

Yeah, Will's a solid guy. He's fielded all kinds of stupid questions from me and is helping me get the 360 dialed in properly. He's gonna look over the rattling issue this week for free... pretty solid. I've got a poor bastard sticker on my truck next to my DTT sticker, courtesy of Troy...

Sweet, thanks guys. I've been chatting with my mechanic and he's 110% sure he tightened up the cam chain and double checked it, and that everything looked to be in good repair. He's cool enough that he said I could bring it back in this week and he'd go back through to double check free of...

Is that the PNW Riders meetup? I'd love to head out with Jordan but I'm addressing some engine issues before I venture too far from the house...

OK-- so I've had this bike into the shop twice now to get her up and running strong. Had an issue with the clutch, and some other little kinks. Put some JC Whitney baffles on the pipes both to help with the noise level and because how the pipes were sitting... I would've blistered the shit out...

Thanks again, everyone. Chris-- thanks, man. If you saw the bike in person, you'd definitely find some faults! There's so much I would have done differently if I had more time and cash. All of the paint would have been powdered, I would have real rearsets done by now, the taillight would be...

Very nice all around. Very nice work.

Thanks for the nice words, everybody. Fork brace of some kind will be going on soon and I'm hoping for some birthday funds to order new emblems. Hoping to be on the road by this weekend, if all goes well at the shop.

I guess that's what I'm having trouble with. I've been trying to use a punch, but that pin just won't pop out... I thought there might be a trick to it.
