The frame, in my eyes, is junk, but it had some good unit parts on it. Forks, front wheel, tapered bearing headset... all unit I thought until I saw the rear wheel. Skinny axle, sleeved spacers, well holy smokes, this here is a rigid Triumph rear wheel! unfortunately they used tapered wheel bearings, and they ain't cheap. I really have no idea why they used such a skinny axle on these bikes. I plan to ride the bike n dirt, so I may not even use it. I'll probably use a 1954 on thicker axle wheel, and just grind flats on the axle to fit the axle plates. Anyway, a hard to find piece these days, now to find the hard to find brake plate.

I thought the lowers might be a cool trick park, but upon inspection, they were total redneck style. The lower bolt was welded shut, and the internals welded to the bottom. There was no room to ever be able to remove the forks tubes, so out came the grinder. I don't know a lot about fork tube differences, but I just happen to have a nice set that were exactly the same length as stock, so I used those. I took the two front ends and managed to make one good set.

Now a I have a roller. I know I want to run double 19"s and the pull back yokes. Finding the right bars is the problem, but I know the Stelling Hellings T3 bars look great. SO now the hunt begins for a set of those and some ram horn pipes, or similar repros.

The Oregon HaulThe Triumph factory rigid, my elusive acquisition for 20 years, my unicorn. I have never been in the right place at the right time, and I have just watched prices climb and climb. I got word of 2 stashes in Oregon. I was determined to finally get MINE. I sold a bike, kissed my wife and thanked her for being so understanding and enabling of my mental illness, and set off for an 1100 mile ONE DAY road trip to Oregon and back.<BR><BR>
I left just after 4AM Saturday morning. I haven't been in Oregon in about 10 years. Last time I did so <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hv4V0NdAgM&t=488s">Lori and I were driving a '63 Ford Galaxie back from Seattle</a>. That trip didn't go so well. I had never been on the I-5 section and it was beautiful. The views of Mt Shasta were amazing. I was scouting future family vacation spots left and right.<BR><BR>
<center><img src="http://vorhese.com/images/upload/2017/06/19/20170619082423-9d8658e4.jpg"></center><BR><BR>
I arrived at my first stop. I met some really cool dudes that have been into bikes and cars a hell of a lot longer than me. I picked up a 1952 frame set up for a Harley 45, and a chromed 1950 frame. Also a '66 Bonnie motor in a '63 frame, a butt load of wheels and parts, and a cool old Sansui and Marantz receiver.<BR><BR>
<center><img src="http://vorhese.com/images/upload/2017/06/19/20170619082432-0801e643.jpg"></center><BR><BR>
On to my next stop 4 hours north. This time I picked up a '59 Bonneville motor with an ironhead top end in a 1954 frame, a 1954 T110 motor (8 bolt alloy head), a set of 47 5T cases and parts, and a bunch of other really useful... crap. All in all both stops, almost enough to build 3 rigids from.
<center><img src="http://vorhese.com/images/upload/2017/06/19/20170619082541-5dca1fc7.jpg"></CENTER><BR><BR>
Loaded up and headed home, I left at 6PM and made it home at 2AM, ahead of schedule.<BR><BR>

The aftermath. I unloaded the car and trailer on Sunday in about 100 degree weather. This should keep me busy for a while. I already know how I want to build 2 of the rigids, and I can guarantee they will not have 16" rear wheels with unit front ends.<BR><BR>

I've been watching prices on these for years skyrocket and be ridiculous. And the new ones aren't cheap either. I wore it for a while and then decided I should start restoring it. I removed the old foam and took the foam out of a helmet I don't use anymore and it fit perfectly. I then went to Ned's in Concord and got some color-natched rattlecan. I should add he was really excited to tell me how close he got it. I haven't decided if I'm going for the full resto look with stickers and all... I am leaning towards that.<BR><BR>

This has been an unseasonably chilly and windy year so far so it was mid 60's and breezy, and the park was in shade. I had to pull Max out when he couldn't even communicate anymore from being so cold. But the place is great!

He wanted a small front hub (talked him out of a spool) so we got him a Tiger Cub, 1956 specifically. If we were mounting this on a later style clamp fork, it would be a breeze, it's almost direct mount. But adding it to a pre-unit set of forks is proving more challenging as the pre-unit axle is a slide-out type, pinch bolt and nut. The other problem is the Cub hub uses 2 different sized bearings with different inner dims.<BR><BR>

<img src="http://vorhese.com/images/upload/2017/06/12/20170612124406-ede07117.jpg"><BR><BR>
This is my leading idea. Flip the forks so that the open-pinchbolt end is on the right side. Weld the drain plugs shut, cuz no one uses those anyway. New stepped axle to fit the different bearing inner dims. Brake plate rests against right fork. Inner bearing spacer sleeve spacer. Left side spacer, and a nut to hold it against the left fork. That should allow the axle to slide out the right side.<BR><BR>

I picked up a Haifley Bros seat and ppad. Debating having a TT style seat made. The bike may have 2 modes, street and dirt.<BR>

Almost 5 years ago I quit my job to stay home with Max. Maeve was born and we both wanted to switch roles, Lori home temporarily. So, fate is a funny thing, and shortly after starting my job search, the job I left called me asking if I might be interested in working again. After much discussion I agreed. I used to do this commute on series of KLR 650's, and much closer, 15 miles closer from Oakland. Now the commute is 80 miles a day, and there was no way in hell I was doing that in a car in Bay Area traffic. To treat myself to a resurgent industrial design career, I made the decision to go with a Triumph Tiger this time. Local results were horribly overpriced, so I found this beautiful, practically cherry 2014 model 6 hours south. Only 6500 miles, aftermarket windscreen, top box, and a few other goodies. I have never ridden a triple before. It is like a jet turbine engine. Fastest bike I have owned. It has a few design flaws (passenger pegs welded to frame, gearing is too close), but I love this bike. If commuting 80 miles in bumper bumper traffic and hour a day with almost nonstop splitting was possibly fun, this is as close as it gets.<BR><BR>

Our baby girl's due date was February 25, 2017. On February 24th Lori and I went to sleep, anxious, but her feeling nothing. At 3:45AM February 25th, she nudged me awake to tell me her water broke. Still no contractions. She took a shower and began feeling them, at 5-6 minutes apart. Lori was in no rush. Max's labor was 33 hours, and we were told cut that in half for number 2. But quickly they became more intense and frequent. At the urging of yours truly and her mother, we finally convinced her to leave for the hospital at 5:30AM, contractions at 2-3 minutes apart. The ride there was... intense but calm. I pulled up to John Muir and took her up to the rooms. Contractions even shorter. After 10 minutes I went down to park the car and bring the yoga ball up. I was gone, maybe 10 minutes. All hell had broken loose. The room was full of nurses informing us this baby was coming VERY soon. at 6:25AM little Maeve Bisbee Blake Friend was born. The sweetest girl on the entire planet. <BR><BR>

With the help of my pops and my buddy <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bryanwingen/">Bryan</a> I created a whole bunch of shelving and vertical platforms for the projects. Projects on top, complete bikes on bottom.<BR><BR>

A kid was about to BOBBER it but, like most people, lost interest. And I'm thankful for that. 1 of 342. it somehow made it's way to Chicago from Oregon. It has a rich history of racing up and down the West Coast. And most amazing of all, I managed to convince my 70+ year old parents to drive from Ohio to Chicago to get it, and then drive clear out to California with it. It's obvious my parents are enablers. I plan to build it up as a sister bike to the '55 for riding dirt with. No frills dirt bike.

It was just weird. A unit motor modified (with questionable craftsmanship) into a rigid pre-unit frame. I've been told my some to just replace the seat tube and return it to a stock rigid frame and sell the motor for parts, but they can't see through the ugly and weirdness like I can. Depending on the direction I go with this, I may or may not change the uncompleted rake to stock. But it will definitely be going to a frame guy to straighten out as it will definitely still have a unit motor. And I don't make ugly bikes.<BR><BR>

I think if I keep the rake it will have a drag bike vibe to it. 21" in front, short bars, big rear tire. <BR>

But sometimes it's nice to just suddenly have a finished bike posted. And here she is. Now that I have a bike to ride this summer, back onto finishing the '62.

I was looking for a another CB750 and this one popped up. I knew it was an earlier one, but it proved better than expected. It was a 1969, non-sandcast but still an early K0 with the wrinkle tank that sandcast 750s have. The bike was in very good cosmetic condition, new seat, but it appears the final drive bearing in the transmission blew up. That will require splitting the cases. I pointed that out and got it for 1/4 of the asking price. I was going to flip it but I think I will hold on to it for collector purposes and a "someday" bike. I have a nice 4-4 exhaust to put on it and it will then be bone stock.<BR><BR>
