UPDATES: Interview, SR Progress, and a New Bike

Here are a few updates on what's been happening around here. If you follow the Facebook page, you may have caught a glimpse of some of this already.

A couple weeks ago, I was contacted by a long lost acquaintance, who now works for the increasingly popular Iron & Air social media onslaught of awesome bike inspiration. Although these guys are only a Facebook page and Instagram ...thingy ...right now, they will soon be opening the proverbial doors of their online magazine. I was asked to participate in an interview for the mag, so you will soon find me, unseen photos of the CX, and a sneak peek at the SR250 design gracing it's digital pages.

Update #2

Last week, over several drinks, I convinced a good friend of mine that he needs to invest lots of his time and money into making his '83 BMW R65 look less stock. This friend just happens to also be a designer, so we are currently ironing out the direction the bike will take. We will likely be collaborating our design efforts to help him achieve Cool Status. He also would like to learn how to fiddle with wrenches more effectively, so I will simply be lending a hand.

The bike rolled into the garage last Saturday. She's a great example of a well taken care of 30 year old Bavarian beauty. 

Update #3

A large parts order went out last night for the SR250. In celebration of the hoards of packages that will soon be gracing my desk at work, I decided to tear the SR down further. The engine is now out and ready to be dissembled. Next step will be stripping the frame of any left overs and starting the rebuilding and refinishing process.
