About Me

My photo
Campbell River, British Columbia, Canada
I am 36 years old and have dreamed of having a motorcycle since I had my first ride on one when I was 16. This will be my third season riding. First full season with my dream ride "Freya" 1998 Honda Valkyrie. Looking forward to many memorable rides this season including a Meet in the Middle in Cheyenne Wyomming with the Women Who ride, raising money for Breast Cancer along the way.

Sparks Flying



Today was the day to finally grind down the welds on my intermediate exhaust pipes.





I was a little tentative starting out but once I got started I had a blast. I discovered a few holes in the welds so I will have to take it back and have Mark's friend reweld them. Then the sparks can fly again and the scouring can commence to ready them for chroming.










The current state of my frame!
I also sanded the rear cowl ready for primer but I am still waiting for a stencil and the clear coat to start the painting process. Hopefully I will be able to start painting on Tuesday or Wednesday. I am continually working on sanding and polishing the wheels, it is a laborious job that takes its toll on my hands therefore it must be done in stages.

Just discovered your outstanding blog. I look forward to reading more of your articles and seeing more of your work. You are very talented and the more you ride, the more you learn. I'm still learning new stuff and I have been riding since 1968. Ride Safe!!
