movin and shakin



So, all four bikes are now either in Berkeley or Orinda. The CBR is running fine, and today I'm probably going to trade it for a primered Mustang LX with a GT engine in it, a donor car for my ford 302 V8 swap. It'll be nice to be rid of that bike, and begin parting out the Mustang.

Had a ridiculous thing happen to me yesterday. I started up the CBR to pull it into the apartment garage, then parked it next to my spot. I then started up the Z and pulled it out about 8 feet so I could ride the CBR in. I get out of the Z, then try to start the CBR. Nothing. Cranks but won't start, battery seems a bit flat. I think I accidentally left it with the parking light on. Shit. I then went to pull the Datsun back in. Won't even crank. Double shit. I ended up pushing both into my spot, then going home and crying.

Both will start on my jumpstarter though, so that's a good sign.
