Jason's Crud Run Diary: October 2008
http://jasonscrudrundiary.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Jason's Crud Run Diary. Thursday, October 30, 2008. Last night we completed another key interview for the film and now we're down to only one left on the list. That isn't to say we won't be doing more, or doing additional interviews of subjects we've already spoken with but what it does. Mean is that we're one interview away from putting together what we're calling the "outline cut". So it's not so much the end. Of production in the traditional sense, but it is. The camera rolls, this. On the top of my p...

Jason's Crud Run Diary: April 2009

Jason's Crud Run Diary. Tuesday, April 21, 2009. I was starting to get really bummed about the bike Saturday morning, it was starting, then surging and dying, and no matter to screw-tweaking seemed to make a difference. I decided that for some reason maybe that overflowing carb was involved and that instead of trying to "tune the whole guitar" maybe I should "replace the broken string" first, so to speak. Another cause of this problem can be a mis-adjustment of the cut-off point for the fuel valve. L...

Jason's Crud Run Diary: September 2008

Jason's Crud Run Diary. Friday, September 26, 2008. It also resembled a lack of fuel, but I think there was plenty in the tank and in the lines as well. I need to do some reading but it might be that the air screws are too tight, making for a too-rich mixture around the crossover point where the carbs switch from the idle to the main jets (and both are open), so it might be just a matter of adjusting those screws, but you would think it would backfire at idle if that was all there is to it. At this point...

Jason's Crud Run Diary. Tuesday, August 4, 2009. Another step in the right direction (? The previous owner of "This Old Honda" got a letter from the DMV requesting some sort of "Bond". I'm not sure what that's all about, but Dan said he did, so I guess that's progress? In the meantime, go riding, it's beautiful out there! Jason J. Gullickson. Links to this post.

Jason's Crud Run Diary. Friday, June 27, 2008. As much as I hate cell phones. The future is now. Jason J. Gullickson. Links to this post. Thursday, June 26, 2008. I was taking these notes elsewhere, but then I thought, why not lay it all on the table? So I was showing Matt these cool fairings. A running, rideable bike that has a chance of making it to, riding in, and making it home from, the fall Slimey Crud Motorcycle Gang Café Racer Run. More power, better handling. To get ready for the day of work we&...

Jason's Crud Run Diary: May 2008

Jason's Crud Run Diary. Wednesday, May 21, 2008. After a few years searching for the right predecessor of my last (running) bike, the search is finally over. Jamie and I have been looking for a more “comfortable” bike, something with passenger accommodations that are more “accommodating” than the Monster’s. This lead us into the realm of touring and cruiser bikes, and since we both have an aversion to fairings, most of the contenders were from the cruiser category. A 1995 Honda Magna VF750C. I knew i...

Jason's Crud Run Diary. Monday, March 17, 2008. So there is a lot of exciting developments around the film these days; unfortunately none of them have to do with my motorcycle. I've had the carb rebuild kits for at least a month and the pipes in the basement for weeks, but with the schedule lately I've had zero time to spend down there getting things together. In the meantime I'll be focusing on my "Producer" role of the project and less on the "Mechanic" one; but hopefully that will change soon.

Jason's Crud Run Diary. Monday, March 23, 2009. Through the looking glass. And I finally got around to shooting our next round of "project bike" interviews and it was interesting to be on the other side of the lens for a change. I have a renewed respect for everyone who put up with the hot lights and our countless questions. Elsewhere being the rear brake. I described the brake problem to Bill at Motorcycle Performance.

Jason's Crud Run Diary. Tuesday, August 26, 2008. Time To Kill (switch). I was going to re-wire the entire electrical system. Seriously, I was considering that. I'm still considering it, but not now, not if I'm going to get the bike running in time for the fall run. You see, it won't idle, and it was occasionally blowing fuses (the one fuse), and I was fearing that there was some intermittent short somewhere buried in the wiring harness. Jason J. Gullickson.

Jason's Crud Run Diary: January 2008

Jason's Crud Run Diary. Monday, January 7, 2008. Last weekend we shot Matt's. Progress report" interview and discussed his project bike. And where things are at now that we're about half-way to the spring crud deadline (since we began production on the film). I have to say that Matt's bike looks a lot better than mine does right now, and for all practical purposes he's a lot closer to being road-worthy than I am. There is a part of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Jason J. Gullickson.
