I was born & raised in what now is a big city....back then it was pretty nice....only about 300k people....now there's over 2.3 million. Moving to a town w/ less than 2,000 people almost 7 yrs. ago now, was 1 of the smartest things I've ever done. Oregon is beautiful but there's just waaay too many people on the left side of the state. It's so much more peaceful over here in the NE corner....

To me it is Nute, to me home is where your born if that makes any sence...I did , for about 3 years live in big cities and it's felted so alien to me ...I guess if someone is born in a big city and moves to a place like this..it might feel strange to them i suppose...

I see you've got it fired up. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1CgXHdwYpF/

Bored. Waiting for parts and looking at pictures of boobs. Weather getting warmer at the weekend so I might have to get the bikes out.

Job i am doing now is my Honda C70 bags of power, so much so that the clutch slipped...done that now fitting the correct front forks to it. I am the second owner..bought new by my Dad in 1977..3thou odd miles. Mum rang me 12 years ago to say they had found it in the garage under a sheet..you better come and take it before your brother sells it. I was at Mums before she put the phone down.

That's it..think it will be my 4th.. great if you have foot change problems.

Same here, car, MOT plus service plus road tax..bike also needed to be insured..mega month this one..Ow! and heating oil last month too!

You do live in a lovely part of the world Marcel.

Oops !!

The snow is starting to pile up...

Car MOT done for another year.

Covers cured and on the bike with new gaskets. Last one to do is the large clutch cover but I am waiting until the next oil change as I want to change the clutch springs at the same time. Maybe sooner if the clutch slip returns and I need a new clutch pack. But we shall see. More small steps but I am enjoying doing it.

They’re fast and look good on rough roads. You’ll enjoy it!

More dusting overnight....kinda wishing for one of those old fashion blizzard...

Excellent Job Saul ...looking good.

Like this, Looks ok to me.

Sounds very cool Lyn. I have seen them big adventure type twin. I was surprised by the size of them when I saw one at Bridge in Exeter.

Same here 1c all day, said snow on the forcast but we got rain..could still snow overnight thou.

Got a gammy left leg from the big C.. so auto is king for me...Had alsorts before 1999 then not able to change gear:..I now have a Honda ( spit ) XADV750 se. no idea how to do pics but i have the white and blue model, number 24 of 50...got some pics on the phone...it's an age thing.

No snow here but it's bloody cold enough to.

I found a replacement BMW K100 tank of the correct year on eBay close to me and it seems pretty good and was a reasonable price. I need to strip the paint off of it so I can check if it got any filler in it and get a better look at the lower shoulders as the things seem to always leak there. BMW used one tank format from 83-86 and then changed in 86 to a slightly different design with a different fuel level sender, a diff size fuel pump and different tank fixing points. The latter type are more freely available and I had also tracked one of those down as I wasn’t sure I could find one of the earlier type. Using it would mean more welding for different fixings and I’ve decided I’d rather use the original earlier design if I can. I’ve picked up the tank but need to strip the paint off of it. I’d rather not sand it off as it’s a pain in the arse. Anyone got any experience on aluminium with using Nitromores ?

And just like that....Winter finally showed up here as well.... Pretty wet snow at 29f....gotta go rinse off the satellite dish to get a bit better reception....

Since its a snow day , I've deceided to watch mad max (79) ...nothing like a motorcycle and V8 movie waiting for this snow to melt , found it on tubi for free , still trying to find 2 , the only I can find is a French version. ..wich totally sucks..lol....a good 10cm has fallen, still coming down...

Manky engine casings, next job on the list.

Another dusting overnight, light snow for the day , supposed to end by 8 pm..
