can't go back

now, i got the camshafts... compare to my last cams, the harley made screaming eagls "E" cams, the andrews xr1000 #1 cams have about 2mm more lift. what the hell is that supposed to mean...
2mm nipping off meat around the crankshaft bearing.
After a few hours of "yes" and "no", got a pneumatic hand tool and put a step into the area where you can't go back. i don't know how many xr1000 still exist in the world, however, not many owners put their xr1000s in danger like i am doing... can't wait to go back on race track.

dining in nagoya

i don't eat out much. only the place i regularly visit is my friend's restaurant in nagoya. for me, this is the best restaurant i have ever been and it will be.

i was going to meet my Santa that night. he was giving me a set of Andrews camshaft for my xr1000.

this is his rudolph... not quite. chopped xr1000. you hardly ever seen harley-davidson xr1000 on street... never one with long stretched front.

had good meals with good friend, talking about xr1000... won't get any better.

Toyokawa Inari temple

a million people visited the temple on first 3days of this year. it's only 20min harley ride away from my house. it's known as a god of business... that's what my friend told me. i hope that 1,000yen i threw into the offertory box will do something about this crisis we are having...

i was riding my panhead on the new year's day morning, heading to okazaki on route1 in snow... i only had this stupid cap on my head. my ears were sticking out and small glasses didn't stop wind to get my eyes...
why do i have to do this? only the reason i could think of was the sticker i have on the back of my cap...
"official asshole"... happy new year, everyone. i hope we have good one this time.
