Still trying to imagine a 10hp leaf blower... :shock:
It is not the kind of 2 stroke leaf blower you put on your back. It is the kind that is like a lawnmower engine hooked up to a giant fan. you push it like a lawn mower and it has some pretty powerful blowing power. it is for blowing piles of leaves. i worked at a church next to some woods. i would strategically rake and blow all the leaves out of the parking lots and grass and deep into the woods.

I just went to your website. Wow, those are beautiful motorcycles (both the toaster cafe bike and your r100s). Nice work.

Thanks. I am excited to see how the next one turns out. It is for somebody who asked me to build them a bike similar to my Cafe bike.
I can put the whole bike together but i need to learn to keep them running (the art of tuning) and engine building.
After i am all done with this one, i'll probably have enough parts to build another bike.
I have an extra frame and engine but the engine had a broken rod. It is in ROUGH shape. How does somebody kill a bike like that.
Since it is already dead, I will try my hand at a complete engine rebuild myself and see what happens...

Ya, like the Cafe bike. Needs some of those blue S&W "period" shock springs though to really bring it all together. ;-)
