Ride With Ren

Motorcyclist, US Army retired, aircraft mechanic. When I'm free I wander on two wheels.

Also @rpiereck and @curbsidebikes and @Just_Undebone

Not fast. Not powerful. Not impressive on paper. Somehow, exactly enough.

The road ended. The Cub didn't seem to mind.

After I restore my Citi 100 I am thinking of doing a poor man's CT100: buy an old clunker like this ($330 asking price), remove all body work, add high exhaust, knobby tires, make it rugged.

What do you think? Might be a cool winter project.

Refurbished leg shields on, they are so white!!! 🤍🤍🤍

Machines reveal truths about geography. An Italian Moto Guzzi twin is bred for Alpine passes: it demands wide horizons. Trying to navigate its restless muscle through the tight, camera-heavy roads of South Korea feels like steering a bear through a convenience store aisle. 🧵👇

Past the rice fields of Asan, dodging cabbage trucks, the big Guzzi finally got to breathe on the mountain roads near Gongju. It looked magnificent cooling outside the tomb of Admiral Yi Sun-sin. Like a warhorse tied outside a village market. I realized I loved it, but not here.

@MXGRyan Thank you, it's just a humble Cub!

Night ride without leg shields. They are at home getting refurbished.

@MPehoviack I gave it a good spritz with penetrating oil two days ago. I might re-visit it today. That rear carrier is also rusted solidly in place, won't budge. I don't even know if the engine is worth salvaging, but I'll try.

Work on the Citi 100 is progressing slow as I wait for parts to arrive. Meanwhile I am slowly removing usable parts from the rusty red bike. Next step is the engine, but that chain is rusted solidly in place. I need to find a way to cut it. Perhaps my bolt cutter will work... 🤔
