Been getting stuff done.

Yep, getting back to the routine. No job yet. The Baretta 38 just got a new 21 carb, filter, tailight, pads, exhaust as well as finally wiring up the lights correctly. I even have a brake light! Once it warms up i will get out and tune her.

On the Baretta Magnum I havent done much but get her running and mount a stolen (from roommate) ev pipe on it. I did have my seat reupholstered for it by a way nice guy named John. He runs a small operation but does great work. His site is www.js-upholstery.com Yay!

IM BACK! Got a new baby too, did I mention Im in Seattle?


Oh SNAP! Im in seattle! Ive met quite a few rad people: Jihee, Travis, the Berrends, others, YAY! Finally situated, almost have a job, and am starting to get back into the rhythm of mopeds. Pinball is fun too! COFFEE! I have a small enclosed garage that gets cluttered real quick and I think I can finally say that I have now owned every moped that I have ever dreamed about...yes, I found the elusive Baretta Magnum, its even the awesome patina as my 38! YIPPEEEEEEE! Some guy named steve may be mad though...sorry. Super clean tank, no spark, stuck motor, perfect. I promise to get back to blogging here soon!

Yay Christmas!


Who said little jew boys dont like christmas, cause this one sure does! It was nice, hung out with friends and got some goodies! I did get two sweet ass Kangols since my dog chewed up the one I got from france when she was a puppy. Also, everyone pooled together and got me a HUGE air compressor, 30gal, 5hp, and enough CFM to run any tool......YES! I love my friends and Chelsea!

Why I love Arizona winters.

DISK BRAKES FOR PUCH SNOWFLAKES!



Just got my preliminary batch in today for you guys. No need to be pros with this. The disk and spacer bolts right on, space out for EBR's and tomos calipers just like my other kits. Since this installs onto one of the extra REAR wheels you have laying around you will need to with a grinder, lathe, hacksaw the threaded portion of the wheel that the freewheel spins onto. After that, just pound the bearing cup back in, set your bearings, center your wheel and add a caliper. Yay!

Stolen Magnum


Ugh, I guess it was bound to happen. Marks Magnum was stolen outside of one of our frequented pubs. Really lame since mark had just got it running perfect and we both had a lot of sweat equity in it. Pretty easy to pick out in AZ since there are only like five magnums here and I have probably owned or had my finger in all of them. Currently its tan, one red on silver snowflake, black simo, polini, bing, 2.75" gazells. If you are the guy who stole it and read my blog, watch out. Sigh....
