Let the part-sorting begin...

Sitting around the other night watching the boob tube, listening to "Classic Rock", perusing my favorite blogs (Motorcycle , of course), and decided to see what I had stashed here and there in closets and cabinets around the place. Well some of it is Triumph, and some of it goes to the current projects. Hmmm, seems to be some Andrews Racing cams for a Kawa Z-1. Uhhh, thats a Norton Commando part, looks like some CX-500 stuff.... The head with the broken fins is off of a 78 Triumph 750, needs some repair. Used to do that at the shop. No, I didn't do the blobular weld repair on the Norton primary chaincase. Couple of decent British chrome headlamp buckets. Boxes of decent pre-unit spares.
Kurt the cat thinks he's helping me. He reminds me of my ol' dawg Pete. Always right in the middle of stuff. Hey, look Bodger. The one box has some of my 441 BSA parts in it.

P.S. Still rummaging through parts...over at my "followers" list is a pic of a young man at the wheel of a sailboat. That's my nephew Doug, my sister's oldest son. I belive you should be able to link to his "Flicker" pics. He just put up some pics of dirt-biking at Hollister, Calif. My other nephew, his brother Wesley, works at Hollister. They make him ride dirt bikes as part of his job, don't know about you, but I'm jealous. There are a whole bunch of pics there. Shots of Yosemite. Shots of his recent wedding, shots from a few countries. Let me know if you can see the pics, I know it let's me in.

    Coz Blogger is playing silly buggers with the system.

    A couple of weeks back I couldn't even get on my own Blog...now owners can't post on theirs.

    So far so good on mine (he whispers softly so Blogger doesn't hear)

    Haha, I perked up when I read Z1 racing cams but it was just a joke or was it?

    Mat, Me kid about a thing like that? The cams by the Triumph head are Andrews cams. I'll have to ask my brother about the spec on them, or as Kawa mentioned check the numbers on them and do a little research.I did post a comment at your blog at a McD's earlier today...it didn't do the automatic thing, so I guess you have to release it. Yeah I got a pile of Kawa stuff stashed, and a line on a whole lot more...

    Spotted an old Honda CB550/ CB750 clock in one of the boxes... and a few other interesting bits. Larry those cams are no use to you, you'd be better off with standard ones ;-)
    Just noticed the drawings of Pete? nice.

    I already have a big box of cams in my shed from mild to wild, but if i had my way I would have another shed full of more bits and bikes.

    I got your post just now and was just thinking what you typed. Its a bit odd this posting thing as I never got a message about the above posts or your post.
    Cheers, Mat

    Matt: How all this works is mysterious to me. I had a hard enough time just looking at blogs sometimes.What I find puzzling is how it seems to be different from blog to blog within blogger...especially with the logging in and logging out stuff. Maybe in another month or so I'll be really confused!!! Using Google "Chrome" right now and it allows me to translate Italian blogs into "English"...which is really amusing.My battery is about to give it up...need to go plug in somewhere.
    Kawa: I'm not too old to have a Hotrod bike, the cams are not for sale!! Clock is indeed for a 750. Found the drawings of Pete while rummaging around for parts, did those a long time ago.
