sum total

I stayed up all night the night before last to finish the cafe racer. I didn't get a chance to fire it up, as the gallery would not allow fluids, but it has spark and seeing as how it ran before I took it apart, it should be fine once it comes out of the gallery. I still need to finish the rear-sets and their linkages and wet-sand the tank paint, but Bruce was really concerned with me getting it into the show. I know I will have to fiddle with cables and tensions, etc. later on as well. I had to teach the next morning so needless to say it was a long day yesterday. We went to the opening last night and Bruce had relit the bike and arranged things since I had dropped it off (pics taken before the lighting). I'll try to get some updated gallery pics later. The abs plastic cutters came out well and I received several compliments on those at the show. The school put up a nifty web catalog of the exhibition.
