Look how tiny he is. He is doing his best to survive. He would have been euthed immediately if he was sent to shelters.

Kjell Nilsson, the actor who memorably portrayed Lord Humungus in the 1981 movie "Mad Max 2", also known as "The Road Warrior", has passed away at the age of 76. I had an opportunity to sculpt him in his iconic character many years ago. Rest in peace, Mr. Nilsson.

Kengo Kiyama bike.

Kiyama is most renowned for his work as a factory test rider for Honda, where he raced heavily modified machines and contributed to the development of Honda's legendary racers. He helped develop and rode CB500 ( pictured above) and oval piston NR500.

His promising career was cut short when he crashed during a qualifying session for the 500cc class at Suzuka on June 10, 1983. He was 30 years old.

Rode to Florence, KS. They are holding a monthly Sunday bike run, which was trying to take over famous Cassoday run. - Cassoday run had over 20 years history. It got too commercial and towns people got tired of it, they decided to quit hosting.

Weather was crappy so it was rather dead. Felt sorry for people in town as they probably expected good turn out= decent cash business. There are always Christian Motorcycle Association guys in bike run like this. They saw me limping and insisted they pray for me. I let them and pray together.

Went to a bar, called Rusty Spurs. Kirk ordered a bloody Mary. He claimed that it was the best he ever tasted. The bartender lady spoke bit of Japanese, which was mind boggling in this small pretty much only white town ( I saw no non white people while we were there. ) They were running bikini bike wash for $25. It was raining so no one was going for it. Felt bad for a lady hanging out in a swim wear, hoping to get customers.

We talked to a guy with an UK accent and his son. He was riding a Genuine scooter, which was a Vespa knock off. His son was riding a Kaw Z125, like us, rare breed there as there are mostly typical v twin cruisers - Harleys and look alikes. There were some late model Gold Wings. Kirk thought his bike was probably the oldest out there. I believed him.

He got rained on multiple times. Kirk, who had been riding more than a half century, was also one unprepared rider. He had a half helmet, a shades, t shirt collared shirt a regular loose fit jeans and leather gloves. Not suitable for the weather at all. He said he couldn't see much when rained hard.

We also had a stop at a bar/ grill in El Dorado.

Very Trumpian place. Entrance was littered with cigarettes butts. Saw some stickers praising Trump and making fun of "liberals" inside. We used pissers and had one drink and left.

Pretty much done with this bike. It's a fun bike and I had '75 CB360T when I was in college. Brings back the nostalgia. The bike was my only transportation....this bike is CJ360T, budget friendly version of CB360T, kick start only and no disc brake on front.

Brought a new clutch cable. The Seller says it fits on the machine I have been working on. The hardware goes on to the cover was too big to fit there. So I had to file and send the hardware to fit in. I know dicks would bore the hole on the cover bigger instead because it's easier but you can always get new clutch cables.

Emergency fostering. Adding 5 more kittens. 17 kittens total. I admit it's getting really hard.

Bathed new comers.

Meanwhile I got invaded by dogs who live behind us. Finally met them who barked at me constantly whenever I am in my own backyard working. I called the number on thier tags and the neighbor showed up to collect them.
