Thank you!

I am now going to try and work on my CB550 project.

Epic thread. I'm half-Serbian as far as Eastern-Yugopean content goes.

Awesome

This project reminds me of the time I drove a 70 MG midget 1800 miles on two cylinders, NO brakes no starter, wire wheels that balanced themselves as they hurled spokes at fellow motorists, sitting on a five gallon bucket while the headlights flashed the beat of My Sharona. Had a blast...
- I seriously think I NEED a Minsk.

On the other end of the spectrum is a time when I flooded the basement of an apartment complex back flushing the swimming pool filters (and left to get lunch ).

Ask my dad and he'll give you three dozen more stories of my idiocy.

You were doing everything right (trying to not get soda dust on your neighbor's house/yard) but it turned out all wrong. It's universal. We've all done it a million times (but you have the best pics ).

I heart your thread.
I subscribed to this thread early on and then the "soda blasting" incident happened. I can relate to this as when my best friend and I were doing a frame up rebuild of a motorcycle he had, we used a soda blaster - in my shop. Three years later I am still finding little piles of soda from time to time. At least after three years it is starting to smell like a shop again.
