BMW update

Ok, I admit, I'm guilty. I did take the BMW for a ride after all. Didn't want to just start the engine, I wanted it to get up to temperature. It was more than a bit tricky because of all the snow this winter they're running out of salt and that means that the snow hasn't been cleared. It still was fun though :)

Also changed the frame braces. I used exhaust clamps to clamp them onto the frame because it's illegal over here to make structural changes to the frame. But I decided to weld some brackets onto the frame and bolt the braces onto those. Didn't have the time to finish the job completely, but it already looks a lot better than the exhaust clamps in my opinion.


Smoking gun



The saying goes: When there's smoke, there's a fire. Problem was: the only fire there was, was in the right hand cylinder. Took cleaning of the left sparkplug to get the left cylinder to join in too. But she's alive again!

Had hoped to take it for a ride. I really need that after last weeks exams, but it has snowed. Again. I'm starting to really hate snow.
