in hibernation?

not quite.

very slow but some progress on my xr1000 engine.

we found someone in Nagoya could do me a special machining to finish this long time problem i had. the crank bearing case which casted in the aluminum crank case, became loose and i hadn't had complete measure for it. Now, see the photo. i think i can go another 50,000miles with it!!!!

now i'm waiting for the valves i sent to moriwaki which should be here sometime next week. will i be able to join my harley friends for the new year's day ride?
