Over the Rainbow

Well, here are some photos of the progress made. My only trouble halting me right now seems to be the Crankshaft gear and it has been a bear to deal with. I worked for 2 hours trying a variety of methods to get it on to no avail. After I dropped a 14" breaker bar straight on my little toe I decided to call it a night. Last time I worked on it I left the shop bleeding. I have spoken to some people at work and have a couple of other things to try. We'll see how it goes or if I end up with more injuries tonight.

Here is the crankshaft gear. I put so much force into it I was in fear of breaking the head off of the crankshaft bolt. You can actually see how far it went on from the change in the finish on the ID of it in this photo.



And during a recent VERY windy storm here I had the chance to catch this gem. It only lasted about 2-3 minutes, and the picture still does not do it justice. It was a incredibly bright rainbow that you could see both sides of, and had a double rainbow on this side you can almost make out in the photo. I wish I has a fisheye lense to capture it all as it was incredible.


I'll be headed back to the 'Ville this weekend and will not be working on it, however I do plan to get lots of miles in on the new bike. I'll see if I can get a good photo of it then.
