Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n o \u00a0\u00a0 Carborator- missing a few parts, hard to salvage, couldn\u2019t find a manual BUT Littman has a tub of old\/new carborators! Try out carb on another bike so to learn how to take it off and put it back on.<\/p>\n o \u00a0\u00a0 Arbour press to remove pin from swing arm and bushings because was so rusty. Used socket to stabilize on press.<\/p>\n o \u00a0\u00a0 Took apart clutch and transmission, bagged and named parts. Friction plates in good condition. TO DO: Inspect all parts with John.<\/p>\n o \u00a0\u00a0 Took apart base part of engine<\/p>\n o \u00a0\u00a0 Fork assembly and categorization, used three jaw chuck in lathe to grip round fork to loosen and pull out spring.<\/p>\n o \u00a0\u00a0 Wheels- measured wheel offset, important so that chain does not hit tyre. Offset is determined by how the spokes on the wheel are assembled. Took tyres off wheel frame.<\/p>\n o \u00a0\u00a0 2 full piston turns for one valve turn. Cam shaft, make engines work better at high or low RPM\u2019s- valves overlap meaning they will both open at the same time- bad for efficiency but is better for scavaging (higher RPM\u2019s).<\/p>\n o \u00a0\u00a0 Sprockets- condition is based on how symmetrical they are not how clean they are.<\/p>\n ZAMM Chapter 3,4,5<\/strong><\/p>\n o \u00a0\u00a0 Tack- measures RPM (revolution per minute of the crankshaft), engine speed. Tack is helpful for gear changing so we can keep track of what the engine is doing. Red line. We have a Speedometer on our bike, measures wheel speed.<\/p>\n o \u00a0\u00a0 Metaphor of ghosts- compare idea of laws of science to ghosts, they are both in our head, fantasies, philosophical arguments. Did gravity exist before Newton? Yes, but did the law exist? The law is a human invention, it still existed before the interaction. Ghost like. Related to Plato\u2019s cave analogy.<\/p>\n o \u00a0\u00a0 Phadreus- all of the thoughts he was thinking that day were not his. Split personality becomes evident. Shock therapy erases some memories, hence the fact he remembers the road and the motel. We cannot be 100% certain that he has been here before, but we can infer this.<\/p>\n o \u00a0\u00a0 Tools kits:<\/p>\n o \u00a0\u00a0 Spare parts:<\/p>\n o \u00a0\u00a0 Chilton\u2019s motorcycle guide mentioned in book is on Blackboard<\/p>\n o \u00a0\u00a0 Motorcycle having a personality- each bike even though it is made the same way, responds differently and feels different. Subtle differences in each bike.<\/p>\n o \u00a0\u00a0 Relationship between Narrator and John- see first moment of active fun with \u2018chicken man\u2019 moment. Talks about capturing moments and how once a border is put on it its gone.<\/p>\n o \u00a0\u00a0 Shimming handle bars- shim stock, using layers of material to stabilize something. In this case, the handlebars are loose and cannot be tightened. Wants to put a shim to make the diameter of the bars bigger so they are tighter. John is \u2018above\u2019 this, bought an expensive motorcycle and does not want to taint it with a beer can.<\/p>\n o \u00a0\u00a0 Nickel and dime sounds- lots of moving parts in an engine, sound comes from things moving around inside the engine. Especially true of old engines.<\/p>\n o \u00a0\u00a0 Reality and John\u2019s reality- building up idea of dichotomy between art and science. Get the idea that the Narrator values science above art, this will mature throughout the book, thinks people should know how bikes work.<\/p>\n o \u00a0\u00a0 Chris revelation- Chris has a mental illness, doesn\u2019t want to seek treatment. Backstory as to why John is travelling with his son rather than his wife as he is worried about his son and sees this as a bonding episode.<\/p>\n o \u00a0\u00a0 Talks about John not trusting technology but doesn\u2019t want to seek treatment for his son- double standard?<\/p>\n o \u00a0\u00a0 Phadreus- inadvertently shows value that Phadreus\u2019 character brought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Day 3- Emily Introduction \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Met John who was sick!
