3rd mentor meeting, 3/4/13

So, once again I completely forgot to blog about my past 2 mentor meetings. The Sunday before my meeting  with Mr. Tompson on 3/4/13, I spend a good deal of time in my garage thinking about how realistic my goals were. I concluded that due to a lack of parts and knowledge (service manual) restoring the 1976 Can-Am 250 was unrealistic. The following day I explained my reasons for wanting to shift projects to Mr. Tompson. I wanted to simply change bikes to a more common motorcycle that I already own, Mr. Tompson agreed that is a more realistic goal and we set out on a new list of chores. Sense I want to register this bike and have it street legal, we thought it would be smart make a trip to the DMV my priority. When at the DMV, I believe there is a "lost registration" form I can pick up and fill out for this bike, just to get the legal process underway. At this meeting we discussed the specs of the NEW bike, and I was happy to learn how knowledgeable Mr. Tompson was about this model. As it turns out he had a very similar bike only it was an inline 4 cylinder. We decided I needed more photos of the bike, and to narrow down what needs to be done so my week was spend diagnosing the bike.
