Suicide Machine Co. Sunday Ride

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
  On Sunday, November 25th, the brother’s at Suicide Machine Co. hosted a ride to Malibu for “No Bullshit, Just Riding”. What seemed to be a a chill ride down the coast turned into a 40+ Harley turnout filled with burnouts, wheelies, and some serious riding. PRODUCT ME put together this little recap of the footage videoed and photographed from that day.
ENJOY!

Slight mod to make er' fit

 My Dremel came in handy to make the new ignition switch fit. It was slightly bigger than the original.
 It isn't that pretty but it fits and the ugly bits get covered up when it is installed. I couldn't let that plate go though it is pretty cool and just happened to match the paint a little too well. 

 I also cleaned filed sanded reshaped and painted the original steering wheel because, well $$$ it was cheaper but it has turned out alright just need a centre piece. The lights are wired in and the seats are next.
It is starting to come together but it seems to be that 20% work 80% time deal right now.

Throwin' it out there...

The weirdness: (excerpt from correspondence with known criminals)

 Hey Sastard, you ever get that truck figured out?- Du Keeps
; no there's still something fukkin' wrong. the thing it does is: 

 t-stat will not open at idle, i gotta drive it. top rad hose stays cold. seems like i can drive for 10 mins or more and the top hose stays cold. some times the top hose feels empty and flappy like a limp dick and i can easily squeeze the sides in.  sometimes it feels like a rock hard boner hose, and its quite rigid. so there's pressure in the hose. still cold. at this point the heater is blowing quite warm air but not hot. hoses to heater core seem right, 1 hot (to) the other(from) only warm.  so the heat will start to blow cold b4 the t-stat is open, i think. once it is open, it blows hot air.  when it does blow cold air, i have 5-8 mins i can drive b4 the temp gauge will start to climb. once it starts, it goes very quickly to "H". If I shut it off and on again 2 or 3 or 20 times eventually the heat starts to blow hot again and the temp gauge starts to come down as quick as it went up.  I noticed something today, when it started to blow cold, I pulled over and went to squeeze my hose. the top hose was still cold, and i had driven from my house halfway up lorne ave (almost 10 mins). Really t-stat not open yet? so when i touched the top hose and found it cold and rigid (zombiedick), i also opened my rad overflow container. (the only rad access i have) and with the engine running, it hissed and coolant started bubbling up. with the motor running i shouldn't have pressure there right? where the fuxat coming from? exhaust pressure sneaking past a head gasket?

I'm pretty sure i have all the antifreeze in there that i should. hard to day, cause i have to believe what that little plastic bottle tells me, but it never gets very low....

fuck and bugger. any thoughts?

*update*

I have come to realize that it will only perform this fantastic feature upon cold startup. once it has gone through the insufferable process, the t-stat will function correctly.

Bone yard.

Up in Kimberley there's quite a bit of snow about -2. So can really ride here but 10 mins away absolutely no snow and +5. So I went of for a rip and found a bone yard kinda cool/nasty.

Panpanpanpan


Been collecting and collecting for the Pan and am getting really itchy to start putting it together. Bernie still has my cases so I might be building wheels and refreshing other bits before I get to the motor. All good I guess. I need to slow down and take my time, but panpanpanpanpanpan
