Conquering The Laguna Loop
Last January 16, 2015, a Friday, was a holiday on account of the Pope’s visit, so I decided to take a little trip.

New Carb, Mirrors
After the rebore on Leslie I needed to address another much older problem, acceleration hesitation and occasional stalling. It is a terrible problem because just when you need good acceleration such as when you’re trying to do a u-turn on the highway before a car comes it would suddenly sputter and die. It made me feel like throwing it off a bridge.
So I decided to finally spring for a new carburetor (P4,700.00).
Items For Sandblasting & Powder Coating
Below are the items from Leslie that I will have sandblasted and powdercoated to black again before rust ensues. Clockwise from the left is the license plate holder, the ‘sub cross plate’, and the muffler stay.
The S90 swingarm will be joining them as well.

New Basket & New Stuff For Repainting
The thing with having a hobby is that it is very much a self – serving activity. You are not saving the world here. You are not feeding the poor, promoting world peace, curing cancer, or anything even remotely like that. You’re not even helping your bottom line. While great people are hard at work at those things, you are very much into yourself, scurrying busily away working on your stuff totally oblivious to the world around you.
Yet despite completely acknowledging all that, when I bought this thing last week:
