Sachs 505/D build. David's G3 motor lives on

Naked Sachs. somethings missing. cant wait to get it back on the road



Dave's G3 motor. Sachs 505/D motor goin on my Balboa. I was hitting 35-38mph on my 505/C. Should at least hit 40 maybe a bit more with the D. mild case and port matching



I just installed the  front 12 tooth sprocket which i truly believe is amongst the only handful that was available  times long lost. I got it at Mopeddwarehouse. go figure

I dremeled the intake to match the port of the cylinder. it was pretty off center. Luckily, the intake was the cool 14.5mm one. only came on the C and D's.

 Sachs Clutch what a pain. ive read on MA somewhere if ya put another plate and clutch plate in there (3 in total) it'll give ya better super slippery engagement




all i need is a headlight, gasoline and tranny fluid. then road bound!

American Film Institute. unpaid extras means rowdy, rowdy, obnoxiousness

Saturday and Sunday filming in LA. worked on friday night, slept two hours and I got to AFI with MattD on saturday 8:30 in the morn. It was kinda just waitin around some then some shots then some more waitin around. it was ok and I actually got a line! "Come on Dee!" was my line executed clumsily.  waiting around all day to do the same scene over and over takes quite a bit of energy and focus ive realized. we finished about 6pm that day. So beat.  I partied and crashed out on Woolly Bully Mike's denim couch. it's very familiar. On sunday Mike and I went for a nice and pretty afternoon ride around Silverlake a little bit.  We got some beers and free food to commence the days activities. met up with Mikes girl  Dadia,  the costume designer for the short. Went back to Mikes house to put together a bike for Jose so he could ride, but soon found out another broken clutch bell which in total numbers four, count em FOUR broken clutch bells. hmmmm interesting. Same exact problem, maybe a different solution guys??  well afterwards we met back at the house where they were filming the house party scene. got some more free taco truck food, fashionably late and already been drinkin. Did several takes of the party with me in a scene with Tiger Lauren and Oscar. hilarious. "QUIET ON SET!" passively directed toward us.  hahaha i have a whole new respect for production crews. seemed like pretty long hours for just a fifteen minute short. plus they had to put up with our rowdy rowdy obnoxiousness all weekend. im also pretty sure they're sick of inhaling stinky 2-stroke smoke

Saturday morning filming. shits real hectic. lets get down to business, what the hell is this?




 

 fellow Knuckleheads! Big B and Eric on set ready to do another take.
