My Saturday Night

Sat, 01 Nov 2008 19:41:37 -0800

Slomo started freaking out for no reason, so I looked outside to see what was going on and saw a neighbors house going up in flames. No one was on the scene yet. But like a good photo robot, I first grabbed my camera then ran out the door. Right after I took the top sloppy shot, I ran over to the house to help my neighbor James, who arrived on the scene and started spraying the flames with a garden hose. You can see in the shots how it was pouring rain as well. Within 5 minutes, Oakland Fire Department was on the scene to squash it. Definitely not your typical Saturday night.

Moped Projet : Goodbye Grandma Bars

Sat, 01 Nov 2008 16:21:25 -0800

The first big rain hit the Bay Area today pretty hard, so I stayed indoors and installed some motorcycle drag bars I picked up on eBay for dirt cheap. After a little hacksaw magic, chopped about 2.75" off of each side, I have the bars setup how I like with some new gummy rubber grips as the icing on the cake. I definitely need to shorten all the cables now. Next phase?

Moped Projet : Exhaust Install

Came home from work and installed the exhaust I bought today at lunch.. Can't believe I read that this would take an afternoon? 15 minutes later it was on..

I thought this was amazing and worth sharing.

Moped Projet : First round of mods

Sat, 25 Oct 2008 14:08:38 -0800

I purchased my 1978 Puch Maxi in bone stock form. So, after a few rides where I was barely able to get up some hills in my neighborhood, I made a trip at lunch time to 1977 Mopeds at 16th and Valencia in San Francisco. I ended up ditching the stock 12mm carb and went with a slightly larger 15mm Bing. I also got a bigger intake manifold to match and a foam filter to replace the stock airbox. Installed a new throttle cable, bolted it all up, adjusted the timing on the carb, and now it rips pretty good. I took a quick and dirty pic with my iPhone. Plenty more to come..

Just Bought a Moped

Here's a pic from the craigslist ad of my recent purchase.. A 1978 Puch Maxi. I'll get some better 'before' shots up before I start transforming it into the moped that I envision. Check back soon..

Summer's Over :(

Mon, 15 Sep 2008 19:19:52 -0800

These wheels were fun for the summer, but winter's coming and I have something else up my sleeve. Look for this car (on a different set of wheels, of course) in the September 2008 issue of Performance VW magazine.
