Let me in!

 Let me in! Please!

Sometimes I dream of the above action (during endless meetings or discussions about trivial things)

Winter

I 

Makes me want to stay at home. 

Problem is that I don't have a heating in my garage. The tools have the same temperature as outside (-5 Celsius).

Morini tank

Let's hope it is the right color.

Morini gets fresh air

 

Moto Morini 350 sports are small bikes, but their handling is great. Nice to ride around with on small roads on the winding river dikes.

XS 500 fun

I think the XS 500 is a very underestimated bike. That's a good thing, you can buy it for just a couple of euro's.
I have one, because I was curious and because I wanted to customize it.
This is what I started with:

Shark

Busy with the brakes of the XS 500.

Looks like a shark from a cartoon.

Some pictures of my Guzzi

Autumn

Autumn really started.

I have to take my Guzzi somewhere else, or I will be surprised when removing the canvas next spring.

Made a start with a Yamaha XS 500 (like to take things slow, so I use a small brush ......)

Cylinder heads

Next step: cylinder heads.

Moto Morini 350's have a Heron head, which means the combustion chamber is located in the top of the pistons, which gives a flat cylinder head.

Next step

Next step is to put the cylinders in place.

Easy

Well, that was easy. Now I can put the whole thing together.

New pistonrings.

Finally got the new pistonrings. I have to make them about 0,1mm smaller before they fit.

Hope they don't break.......

Careful!

Always be careful with the pistonrings, because they tend to break easy!

Now I have to wait for the replacement rings to arrive. Original set of rings cost 69 euro per cilinder (have 2 cilinders). After market rings cost 20 per cilinder. That is an easy choice, but I have to make them fit.
