Andy’s Weather
Literally every time Andy has come over to work on his KZ440 he has brought horrid rain. Most recently he brought hail. A dark cloud follows the lark.
Making Two into One
Our internet presence has been quiet for a few weeks, but a lot has been going on in the Banana Garage. Justin has awoken his CB450 from its winter slumber; I got my motor back into my XS650, which is running as smooth as a 360 deg twin possibly can; all three of our CT70 Trails are put together and road worthy; Jeff’s hot-rodded C70 Passport has two straight rims and new tires… holy shit, are all the banana bikes actually in a working state? Yes! With the exception of my everlasting CB160 project… dammit.
I also got a deal on a pair of titled bikes, a KZ440 and KZ400, and donated them to my tiny little brother Andy. The end result will be his first bike. He has been working his ass off to turn two into one, learning as he goes.
Before - KZ400 and KZ440 sitting for ~15 years.
Much better! It has nice stance for a stock bike.
Kind of a goofy seat, lots of padding for Andy's lady passenger.
The closest he's ever been to riding a motorcycle.
With a grip of mechanical parts in the mail, we will hopefully be firing it up within a week.
And now that the Chicago summer has finally arrived, it’s time for me to get off the computer and out on two wheels.
