A blue 250, the dirty girl gets a bath, antique Russian rifles, and more…

The CSC MotoWorks just completed this ultra-cool, ultra-loaded P-51 with lots of chrome, including our stunning chromed billet wheels.   Our deep blue show-quality paint really works with chrome, and this bike sure shows it well…

That blue P-51 is looking good, and you know what?  Spring is right around the corner, folks, and that means you might want to get ahead of the curve by getting ready for riding season now!

I’ll be washing and cleaning up the Baja Blaster later today (you can see from the photo below the old gal needs to be hosed down), and I’m going to take off the rear wheel and tire so I can get a new one next week.   I’ll take pictures so you can see how it’s done and I’ll post them here on the blog.

I was up in Paso Robles for the last two days on another secret mission.   Paso (as the locals call it) is a cool little town and the round trip from my place here in So Cal was exactly 500 miles.   I love to travel, and that’s a good thing because it makes the secret mission business a lot easier.

Just before I left on the Paso adventure, I reloaded a cool 100 rounds of 7.62 x 54R ammo for my 1940 Mosin-Nagant Russian rifle.   It’s the one I mentioned here on the blog a few weeks ago…

I loaded a couple of different kinds of bullets (the ones with the orange tips are from Hornady; the full metal jacket bullets are from Partizan, a Serbian company).   Making your own ammo is a lot of fun (folks like me who are really into reloading think it is as much fun as shooting).   I’m trying a couple of different kinds of bullets to see which ones are more accurate, because my buddies and I (and my daughter Eri) have an informal match thing going.   We get out to the range on a regular basis and the winner has to buy lunch for everyone.   Yep, you read that right…the winner has to buy lunch!  And as you probably guessed, I’ve been paying for a lot of lunches lately.  (I like winning more than I mind buying lunch!)

Marty is swinging by in another hour and we’re having lunch with the Geezers over at Brown’s BMW dealership….that’s always fun, and it’s nice being among a group of folks where I’m the youngest guy (it’s usually the other way around).   That said, I’m sure not complaining about the senior citizen restaurant discounts the Geezers always get…that’s the silver lining here, my friends!

That’s it for now, folks.   Stay tuned…
