Wilde One

I bartered for this helmet a while ago but don't really know too much about it. It's by the Wilde company, who had been making helmets since at least World War I in Germany, including for the Nazis. I believe this helmet is from the '50's, maybe even '40's, a resin-based shell with leather internals and straps. It's also just a little too small for my bean head.

Lesson 2

We went back to Shoreline Park for another lesson. This time I told her just go out on the streets and come back every few minutes. Every few minutes Lori returned with a big smile on her face. She's ready. I watched her stops and take offs, very smooth. As soon as we can figure out a way to both go out and ride we will, but I'm also going to start looking for some other East Bay/Oakland female riders for her to ride with.

After I finish the pre-unit the next one is going be more down and dirty, for rippin' around street and dirt. I have a vision of going dirt riding with max in a few years and I want something I can take out with him. Sort of a cross between a swing-arm bobber and desert racer.

Nothin' major but it makes me happy

I'm kind of in a holding pattern with the Triumph. Wes has the entire bottom end and Pops has the oil tank.
The gum rubber grips just weren't doing it for me so I put on a pair of classic Amals, much better.


I order my new UK made header pipes, they'll be here soon...


Also, I was running the brake rod horizontal, on the bottom, but decided to run it the stock way.
I like this look much better, just required the purchase of a new spring.


Lots of little minor things to do but they all require time away from bambino.

This could be good.

Tiburon

A family trip to Tiburon. It reminds me that out of Oakland, the rest of the Bay isn't a shithole... as long as affluence is present.









But as soon as we got back to Oakland...
