new year's resolution

i stopped posting... about 6month ago with no particular reason. maybe because my xr1000 is still in one piece after 7 races since 2011, so i have not much to report here.
anyway, i realized that this blog is a really good archive and i can find out when i changed the rockerarms, or valves, or pistons...

Now, this is my new year's resolution for 2013:

 

facing the first sunrise on the new year's day and said "i will try to post more things here at "everything but teaching"!!!

visited Toyokawa Inari again...

over 200km/h, over 6,500rpm

i don't want to see 280 degree F again.

3,000yen oil cooler body + self made brackets + leftover hose attachments from zero engineering. will it work? come to see at fuji speedway this sunday!!!!

kotokotoichi

went to kotokotoichi...

at soneiji temple, hattasan.

after a big day

we got back from Tsukuba around 11:00pm sunday night. it was a disaster in result-wise but was a good for racing.my xr1000 stands alone on zero shop floor, soundless.

working environment

zero engineering's shop. work on my xr1000, chat with zero guys, work on my xr1000, take a good look at some of zero's custom bikes, work on my xr1000, eat treats that were given by some of zero's customers, workk on my xr1000...

metal gasket

after taking out heads, cylinders and pistons, only the problem i found was a broken base gasket. i bought a sheet of alminum from a hardware shop and made the gasket for the first time. it looks okay. i hope it works okay too.

blog update

one February day, the motor was on the ground again.
