This little piggy

This little piggy went to Art Nolte's...

This little piggy stayed home.

This little piggy went to Cowtown...

This little piggy went to Bob's Used Motorcycle and Salvage.

This little piggy dripped oil, burped and farted, and cried "wah, wah, wah" all the way home.

Maybe it's time to drop that 400F engine into this 350 frame. Threw on the straight pipes to dial in the carbs, but two carbs were pissing -- need float adjustment -- ran like doo-doo (sounded good though...), and I noticed the oil seeping around the head. Do have a 400F engine, extra 50cc, extra gear... We'll see.

The second bike is a 2-stroke, 250cc Suzuki Hustler (also 6 gears). Working on it for Cowtown. They bought it for $200 to use as an obstacle in last year's junk jam, but when I saw it, I talked 'em out of it. Went down to Bob's with them and got a piece of shit Honda 125 that they used in the poster (with Chris Malouf kickflipping it -- kid's got pop):
Cleaned out the 250's carbs, but it's got electrical issues that are stubborn. Calling in a favor from my buddy Derek on that one. I'm just stoked to be working on a bike called "the Hustler."

My buddy Brock at HedKase Cycles (http://hedkasecycles.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html) came through with the sissy bar for Meg's bike today:
Meg's SR250 needs a little work but it's getting there:
And the 160 is now guarded by a Javanese demon.
