It's mid January in Chicago, so its cold as hell. Not much wrenching happens in the garage when its 20 degrees but, we have whipped out the dice. Not sure who the winner was, pretty sure we are all losers... Gotta keep form for rally season. Photo credit to Josan's instagram where you will find 6 more copies of the same exact picture.</div>

Earlier in the day, I think, Josan came over and timed Adam's newport. 5 min of work and it was running again. Not sure what Adam was doing and I'm not sure he does either. #noobwatch2013<br />

So the Vikings lost to the Packers last Saturday and although I'm sad that the season is over, it also means that my newfound boredom on the weekends will result in more time spent in the garage. Case and point, this project:<br />

This is Kim's Magnum, which used to have a za-50 on it. Now it has a E50 with 72cc Arisal kit, 21mm Dellorto PHBG and a awesome hacked up estoril pipe. Engine was rebuilt a while back by Noel of the Cranks and now it will be Kim's to enjoy.</div>

Thats all for now. Going to try to fully tune this magnum on Saturday since its forecasted to be in the 50s. Also helping Sarah put her topend back on her freespirit after the kind gentlemen at M.O.P.E.D fixed a stripped cylinder stud hole thingy. who knows who else may come by and what weird shit may happen.</div>

Joe over at <a href="http://breakedmoped.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Hippy Joe's mopeds and Babes Blog</a> has been giving me a hard time about not updating my blog. Its been a crazy three months, got kicked out of the old garage, got a job, quit my old job, found a temp garage, ran away to europe for 5 weeks, yada yada yada...<a href="http://www.blogger.com/"></a><br />

New office Building</div>
<br />
When i got back and had an income again, I went searching for a new garage. Found one, in Logan Square...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And it looked like this, and has temporarily been named 'The Sticky Throttles Garage'<br />

Then we started moving stuff in and having a bit of fun. Adam, the newest Babel in Chicago also is in the garage and has some pretty awesome ideas for builds.<br />

Now is when the shenanigans started...<br />
<br />
Justin, in his infinite wisdom of art and culture, decided to take a shot at adding some class to the new spot. The results were, in my opinion, spectacular.<br />

Now to get us caught up to the present day (ya happy yet Joe?)....<br />

Last weekend we had a garage party which started early, maybe too early for some. Justin was singing REO Speedwagon into his beer can microphone at 9pm...<br />

So last night was Tuesday, and Tuesdays in Chicago are moped night. We met up at my garage, hung out, wrenched a bit, then headed over to check out HnR Will's new shop; its pretty swanky. Should be quite convenient to run down the street to pick up little bits needed to finish builds and maintenance.</div>

The rain came suddenly and hard so our hopes for a ride got washed away, but we did manage to shuffle back to my garage, grabbing beer on the way. Crazy Chicago weather always has us on our toes. Oh well, still and awesome night. </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have finally decided that I have enough interesting (subjective) content to actually start a Moped Blog. As a result, I will be using this as my main outlet for all moped related high jinx. Hopefully you will at least get some entertainment out of what I post if not some actual useful information. My goal is to update this thing once a week, so feel free to yell if I don't do so. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As an introduction, here is a little information about myself:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm Sebek, commonly referred to by friends simply as Seb. I live in Chicago and work on mopeds out of my garage which has been lovingly given the nickname 'Seb's Used Parts'. I've been doing this whole moped thing since around 2006 when I bought my first moped, a Batavus Starflite. Since then, I've owned many a moped, many of which have found their way to other owners. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I work on mopeds as a hobby, but in addition to my own, many other people's mopeds (you down with OPM?) find their way in and out in various states of repair and awesomeness. I hope this becomes a channel by which to show you what happens in and around Chicago as well as the various locations mopeds lead me to.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I guess that's it for now. Check back soon for a real post. I have some good pics and stories to share from Blood Drive Infinity.<br />
