David Mann '09






Left for the Mann Show at 5:30 through some rain then arriving wet but happy at another great southern California event. On my way home at a gas station some dude asked me if my bike was hard to ride. I told him not as hard as riding a 6000 pound bagger. I think he got it.

WTF with California


Jobs are scarce, businesses are leaving the state, legislators can't agree about anything, the governator needs to return to acting..... but the weather is nice, still riding my super-scooter to work, events after events left and right so what's really to bitch about. It's the 70's all over again.

What about this with some of that...


A great start on this sporty w/ a monoshock swingarm but instead of this fat forkin frontend, how bout a girder with a matching coilover shock and let's say about 38 degrees of rake?

Valve adjustment

So I decided to check my valve clearences on my kz and while I had it apart, polish the valve cover. If any of you ever had to do this you know it's a bit of a pain in the ass since you have to remove both cams to get to the buckets where the shims go under. I ordered the appropiate shims from z1 enterprises and they arrived at my door last night. As I was moving the crank to tdc I noticed I was missing 1 spring that holds the advance mechanism. Also I pressed out the tubes on the top reed-valve covers and tapped them for a 3/8 npt plug. No more hose connecting the two sides. Back to the mcfadden dale for some more $hit. I'll get it all buttoned up tonight and ready for the Slab City Riot on saturday. Fuck yeah.....
