Taking a break from the M.B.

[old motorbike]

Now that I'm semi-retired and have had some great fun with the M.B. the past month, my motorcycle needed some attention.
I needed to pull the motor to change broken valve springs, so... I back cut the gears, refreshed the head and valves. Installed a bigger bore to (1397cc). New timing chain, guides, rings bearings and anything else. Aiming for 190-200 hp. Have 46k on it and ride it every day.
I only work 3 days a week. It was still hot here in S. Fl. so I brought in the house and been working on it on my dining room table. Just finished it tonight and will try to carry it back out to install it back in the Motorcycle.

Every senior citizen need a bike with an engine like that one.

That's what my s.security helps pay for. Hope I can ride 2 wheels 'til I'm much older, (100)?
