Mystery School File
This is the box of all LE Knowledge. These files are what I did to every bike I’ve worked on. There are now so many bikes in the Mystery School Fleet that they have moved out of the Yamaha file and into their own file. The other photo is of two TTR230 shocks being rebuild and re-vlaved together.
Billy’s TZ250
Roland Cushway did the crank rebuild so now it’s time to put Billy’s engine together.
Suspension Vendor
Brady Walker called today and signed me up to be the Classic Track Day Suspension Vendor. https://www.bradywalker.com/

Stone Table
It’s time to up-grade your stock shock. These are from an RC51, top and a ZX9 that is going on a ZX12. Rebuilt, re-valved and re-sprung. And yes, they are resting on top of a 2 foot by 3 foot stone table. The proper tool for making sure things are straight.
Vote!
I worked at my local polling station for this Primary Election. I’ll be back for the General Election in November.

When you put something on a shelf and forget about it.
