Super Cool Bike

Hey good news! Jesus Saves!!!! More good news though; My dad's (mine mine mine) motorbike is running! I spent alot of time rebuilding the carburetors and I fixed a few things that could've been causing the bad performance it had. (A clogged jet on the secondary carb, replaced the float needles, found some REALLY damaged o-rings, replaced the choke plunger). So, after taking a long side trail when the oil plug hole stripped out, we filled it with oil, put some new gas in it, and it started on the first kick. hahahahahahaha!!!!!!. My dad took it around the block a few times , and he said that it was way way way better than it was, but still had some problems. But, we both figured that adjusting the air screw and the linkage in between the carbs should prove effective, b/c we had messed them all up before trying to get it to run right.
So he's going on a business trip so while he's gone I'll get everything set to factory specs while he's gone. I'm also gonna get some engine cleaner and clean the engine, it's all covered it oil. I posted a picture of the bike all put together. Only thing missing are two little plastic side panels, and a smash panel.

More good news!!!(Isn't God good?) I got my own skis!!! yep they're some 2005 Solomon Scrambler 7's . with bindings. Got a good deal. no boots though, felt I should wait on those. So I'll continue renting for a while(after all I have a rental 4 pack)

the bike is a 1984 Honda XL 600R

keep praying for me. ttfn.
