Painting parts and inspiration

While I'm waiting for the fuel pump, I have deciding to paint the fairings on the scoot. Back in the day, my dad used this rusty red primer for the '55 chevy hot rods he fixed up.Pretty much completely different from the black primer that was really popular at the time. I figured I'd color this scoot the same way. Should have worn a respirator as my nostrils are full red now...anyway its about 70% back together and really starting to look cool with the chrome contrast...

Ghetto scoot progress

The harry and beans coffee delivery scoot is getting closer to road worthy. I narrowed down the fuel problem to a faulty vacuum pump by rigging up this weed wacker gas tank. Bike seat ziptied for "safety". i did rip around the block for a few laps so its promising that this pile of parts is gonna rock out soon.

New Board from Bing!!!!

I just got this from the fine folks over at Bing Surfboards, a new 9'8" Bing Levitator... I got to surf it a couple times the past day or so due to this bermuda high pumping in some waves. I must say so far, I absolutely love it.However, my surf break is over and its back to roasting Harry and Beans Coffee.

Pile of scooter parts...

I recently acquired this pile of parts that used to be a scooter. In my quest, reread that obsession, with saving gas, I've been mulling over a scooter for summer surf missions. Last two nights have been consumed with piecing this thing back together. The photo is what it should look like, I'll be posting up pictures of its progress. Not only will this puppy be surf ready, but the cargo area will be modified to carry up to a dozen pounds of Harry and Beans Coffee. In a couple weeks I hope to be mobile so feel free to wave me down and snag a pound or two ha ha ha

New to Harry and Beans Coffee, Sophisticated Sumatra Wahana!

Been experimenting at the not-so-secret Harry and Beans Coffee headquarters with a delicious new coffee Sumatra Wahana. As a straight, its a really nice cup of coffee. Medium to high acidity like a Kenya AA but still has the smoothness of a conventional Sumatra Mandheling. But what I really like about it is the way it compliments some of the new blends I am working on. Perhaps the most sophisticated straight I've ever experimented on...look for the new blends soon or stop by and test pilot some. Welcome to tourist season everyone, bring it on!

Yikes!!!! expensive coffee

Coffee prices have been soaring lately as it seems with everything else. This article shows that even the big boys are raising prices. Here at Harry and Beans Coffee, I will be trying to hold the line on radical price fluctuations and have some ideas forthcoming that will save my customers some money in the very near future.
