Motor Out!
October 25, 2009
Someone suggested I not to take this bike apart because I could lose interest and then all I would have is a bucket full of parts. I replied, “NO WAY!!” Well, my interested remains high but my business started to boom and I’m sad to report that I have not worked on the Scat Since September 12th! I solemnly swear that I will not let the winter pass without spending hours in my garage putting this back together. I need and I want to ride this bike when the tulips start to bloom!
| On September 12th, with the assistance of a veteran restorer, I removed the one remaining screw with an impact driver, which allowed me to lift the motor out of the frame.
Again :: thanks Joe B for the Kroil! |

| It looks to be in very good condition, so I will not be sending it out to be rebuilt.

| I also purchased a Dremel. Something I’ve wanted for some time. |  |
| I worked in my garage until 3a, rockin’ to AC/DC and Boston with my Dremel in my hand! |  |
| I’m not sure my neighbors appreciated me that night. And I’m happy for the old and new friends who stopped by to chat. |  |

| The chome is popping off. Looks like I’ll have to have them re-chromed.
Any comments? |
