After Christmas shop time

Phil got the shovel together and pulled it off the long term lift.  Opened the front master cylinder and the brake fluid had turned to sand it seemed.  Deuce found good use of an old pizza box to shield him when he blew it out.  Pushed clean fluid through the lines and the dual front brakes work fine.
Deuce's son got a new skate board for Christmas so the kids put it together with a little help from us.

Phil attempted to kick the shovel and it kicked back twice.

We busted out the TIG and did some practice welds because we have zero experience on the TIG.  Deuce feels confident enough to TIG some bungs into the Virago tank for a visible fuel gauge.


Chris made some progress on the VMAX today.  Got the stem and sleeve pressed into the lower clamp.

Chris got the donor front end on the frame.

Next stop is the frame jig to work the downtubes and get it welded back up.

Chris had this novelty helmet in his stash, you know someone had to put it on!

The Virago is on the ground after a ton of work.  Upholster the seat and finish the tank and it wheely time!!
