I got the front end back under the vintage trials bike yesterday. I still need to fill the forks with oil. The nearest I can tell they take 135cc of 10 weight fluid. Fortunately, I have some in house. I'll check that I've got all the bolts tightened up and then see about getting the motor installed.
I'm doing a 5K this morning - should be fun. 26 degrees and snowing they say. I've actually been training for this one. One of the local churches has a recreation center with a walking track - 8 laps make a mile. I've been walking twice a week for 45 minutes each time. Depending on conditions, however, I might just pussy-foot the whole course. Don't want to break a hip, you know.
The forecast is anywhere from 6 to 10 inches of snow, so I did get the snowblower running yesterday. It has a 110-volt starter, so I don't have to try and start a cold 8hp motor with the recoil. I've got a couple of snow shovels ready to go as well. Just have to see what develops. Hopefully it won't involve me throwing my back out after a lot of shoveling.
