Ever tried these?.... I've used these a handful of years....they work pretty good & are affordable.

I can relate....

21f here this morning...3rd day in a row w/ clear blue sky's & high temps reaching almost 50f. Definitely getting another spin on the Mullet today....

24f for the 2nd day here...absolutely cloudless sky yesterday. Had a good spin on the Mullet yesterday...gonna try for another today...

I knew it'd only be a matter of time before our resident Peanut Gallery piped up w/ a wise crack... The stretch of tarmac I did that on was pretty damn flat, I'll have you know. It was an old favorite that I frequently took most of my bikes on...

Great tune to play in your helmet while railin' the Twisties.... https://youtu.be/WmGTWR1Zdic?list=RDMM

I'd say you scored pretty well there @boboneleg! ...Nice looking wheels.

...My old '74 DT 125 saw an indicated 73mph w/ my fat arse on it...I thought I'd won the lottery that day.

Myself, I enjoy doing that kind of work...especially if you've got an array of new parts for replacement. Inline 4's or parallel twins/triples are much more pleasant to deal with vs. wrestling w/ V4 carbs, which can sometimes be a real bitch.

Cool bike....reminds me of my Dad's '78 CB750k. He eventually gave it to my brother who's a wizard w/ a wrench. He pulled the head, gave it a hone w/ some fresh rings & a new gasket...it ran like a champ after the that.

Don't think you can go wrong with Yuasa....had great results with them over the years w/ my Bikes.

My Christmas season has been spent looking after Mrs. Hook w/ her new knee...gotta admit that I'm proud of her for doing well w/ her recovery. Seeing consistent increments of improvement everyday. Kind of anxious to see how well she'll be doing by our anniversary in Feb. Hopefully be mobile enough to do a day trip to Hermiston to see my Great G-son by then...

Maybe I shouldn't have capitalized that?...

Indeed!....MERRY CHRISTMAS to all my fellow 2-Wheelers! & may 2026 bring a lot more RIDING--

Like I said before....Depends on WHO you ask....

Well this old man got some great news today....My son has made it back to OR & is finally out of Israel! Got a text reply from him today telling me he'll be state-side for another year while he waits for his top-secret security clearance to clear before he heads off to Germany into more of an Administrative position w/ the company he works for....No More sand people & war zones to work in! He also told me that my oldest G-son is moving back to OR from NM....so I called him straight away to get the low-down. His job w/ NASA turned out to be a dead end...so he sold his house in NM & scored a job w/ Amazon at a new data center in Hermiston OR...just over an hour away from Elgin ....he starts the 12th of Jan. I'm so stoked & I can't wait to see my Great G-son...he's a beautiful boy & an absolute Chip Off The Old Block....

Oh Lyn, I feel your pain mate. I spent a good year crying my eyes out after Jana passed. I drove to a beautiful place called Black Horse creek & spread her ashes, along with ashes of our son & her Dad. She just wanted to be near water, so I made that last wish happen. It absolutely tore me up at 1st....but with time, it also brought me some real Peace. I truly hope & Pray that you find that Peace as well.

So, nobody can accuse you of just having Selective Hearing, eh?....that could definitely be a blessing!

Push-rods, lifters...reminds me of turning spanners on my SB Chevy's. I too, would like to see pics of the Hardley's inerds for comparison.

That would make a great ride for hauling Dirt Bikes & generally playing around out in the woods....

My favorite EVH tune....played by a lovely lady on a Violin... https://www.facebook.com/reel/4173683789517678

'Bout right there mate...take a number & get in line...

Waaay too obvious who wrote this thread....not a twat....yeah, Right....just depends on who you ask...

Great choices both of them.... but this useless excuse of a cyborg is casting his vote for @Saul...he's definitely earned it.
