Nice Surprise

I just found these videos on YouTube! It's the bike I built! After I finished transplanting the Yanmar diesel engine into the Kawasaki motorcycle, I never used it. I don't have a motorcycle license, didn't want to insure another vehicle, or even deal with what the DMV might say about my chopped-up creation. So I put the bike on Craigslist... and these guys got it (http://www.wingnutcycles.com/), check out the videos they put up! I don't think it could have gone to a better home.

It's alivc! No lights, no insurance, no license, no registration, no helmet, no care... I road my bike back and forth on North Henry Street last night powered by diesel! I now rank among the few other nuts who need to put a diesel engine in a motorcycle. After years of lugging the frame and engine around, I finally just bit the bullet and fabricated the few extra parts needed to complete the bike, et voila!

Current Projects

The new studio is nearing completion and in the meantime I would like to introduce the 4 main projects that I am excited about completing. The longest running, and closest to completion is a Diesel swap into a Kawasaki Enduro kx 125 with a 5hp Yanmar Diesel and a CVT transmission. Most likely to be finished soonest, despite the untimely weather, is a solar powered Yankees baseball themed birdbath water fountain. Third project, a Punsun air-cooled 22hp diesel transplant into a 1968 VW Beetle. It goes without saying, the diesel engines will run on biofuel. The last big project is the installation of a custom made Waste Veggie Oil conversion into an International Harvester Scout 4x4. As a way to organize this blog, and my work, I plan on sticking with one project, more or less, until its completion. This will also prevent my studio from becoming a junkyard of half finished projects. A bunch of smaller projects will also be going on including ebaying, building furniture, and hopefully some personal artwork!
