It’s like lots of people ride Rich’s bikes all day long, learning and having fun! No more leaky seals Rich, time to make Donuts.

What do you do when you don’t like the standard location of your Penske reservoir? If you’r Bill you have me move it under the battery box.

The next set of forks for Deus Ex Machina are about to start going back together. These are the outer tubes, and feet in black and part of the caps in red.

Mike Woolaway builds the bikes for Deus Ex, he is an artist, hence the cool colors. I like working with Mike because he tells me what kind of bike it will be, how much it weights, how much power it will have and a little about the rider. Then he lets me do my thing, he’s never in a rush. I know a little about what this bike will be but I can’t tell you…other than to say it will be worth the wait.

NASA sent a rover to Mars. You may have heard about it. The wheels on that rover, Curiosity, were anodized by the same company that did this work. Funny thing is they don’t do just any job. If you want some work done by them you can ask me and if you have what it takes I may pass your name to them. 😉

The Triumph Tiger has a non-adjustable cartridge fork. It’s under sprung and the damping curve is wrong. The correct spring rate was easy. The correct high speed damping was not too hard to work out. But what to do about the low speed damping took a few tries.

If your bike has a non-adjustable fork, you too can have LE stickers because this fix will work on your forks just as well.

Photo of a front BMW shock that can be rebuilt. It’s a close up of the seam where the cap presses into the shock body. Caps that are folded over or welded here can’t be rebuilt.

My TZ, sorry, Russell’s TZ made it to England today. He changed his Valentines plans to rush down to the docks to pick it up. He ripped the cardboard off the create to see the bike and is very happy with it. But check out the cool old cars in the warehouse.

The name is Kenny Anderson, take note now so you too can say you knew him when.

Or maybe its a Penske shock built to the latest Lindemann Engineering spec with a short hose so the reservoir can mount under the battery box. Either, will be trouble for the bad guys.
