Visit to a collection in Arden

Last year, my friend Andreas bought a Kawasaki Z1R - The original from 1978. He bought it from a Collector in Arden in Nordjutland, Jens. Jens has around 150 old 1970s bikes of all kinds. To Jens it is important that the bikes ends the right place and follow all his bikes. That is also the reason why we visited, cause Andreas needed some parts for his bikes. We took a look around the collection and talked and saw the new in the collection. Sadly I was so busy looking at bikes that I forgot to take pictures.
After the visit we drove to Hadsund to have a Burger. The picture is from that arrival.

TLC on the ISO

Yesterday I took the time to give the ISO some needed TLC. A couple of weeks ago, on a drive the rearwheel looked up an was totally stuck. I knew that it was the gearbox or the primary drive that needed attention. This was also the reason that I started the operation disassembling the primary chainbox and found that the nut, that holds the sprocket was broken loose and has stuck between the housing and rear-sprocket.

This is how it looked
  I removed the damage nut, Found a spare one from my spare engine and assembled the engine again and now it running. but after it has been parked for a couple of days the engine is running on a fat mixture of of petrol so some tuning is required. Old Italian bikes is difficult ..
