Cruisin' on the Wing

[scdmarx]

Looks like you got the camera cleaned eh Ron?

Nope, just a lot of photoshop'n. I tried to do some cleaning myself, but mostly I just sorta moved the dust around. I'll just have to take it in to a camera shop one of these paydays.

The photos don't do justice. It's like trying to share perspective through a keyhole. I think I need to start getting into stitching for panoramic views.

I road that too many times to count, thanks for the memories.....

Then you remember riding in and out of fog banks. :wave:

I find myself wanting to stop and take pictures around every curve.

All too well my friend....

Just a little 50 mile ride early this morning, no pics this time just a run on the freeway to get a feel how the rebuilt heads are running and break them in a bit.
Early Sunday mornings sure is a nice time to ride, cool and no traffic.

Getting a bit more tapping from the rockers now at idle but will run it more before checking lash.

I like mornings before the rest of the world wakes up.

Thanks for the update. I'm thinking more and more about the cam upgrade. Like maybe a regrind to the 1200 specs.

There seems to be something stopping me from posting pics. I'm in a strange place, and useing a strange computer. But here is a link to my wanderings last weekend.

Totally unplanned, no water, no cell phone, no GPS, a tire plug kit, a can of Fix-A-Flat, and a small compressor I dug out of the trash that starts to struggle at about 30 psi. Basically just me and my 83. Anything more than a small puncture in a tire and I would have had no less that 10+ miles to walk exposed to the elements. The bike never let me down. I have a new respect for this 1983 Honda GoldWing Interstate.

I just came in myself from working on the bike (think i need a new battery). It was a nice "wish I was there video". You throw that bike around real nice. Makes me feel like I need training wheels.
:smilie_happy:

Setting off for Mt. Rushmore in the morning, and it appears we will be riding in the rain for most, if not all day.....I can't wait :yahoo:
We got new rain gear, and The Mr.s let me get a new modular helmet...love it! got our swag from Leatherup.com....seems like good stuff cheap!

 

[toytender01]

Have a great trip and take lots of pics.... Be careful in the rain have a blessed trip :mrgreen:

 

[dan filipi]

Sounds like a fun trip!

Enjoy the ride.

Another gorgeous fall day with the wife and Sally out on a fall ride....Today, we had a mission to go and look at a VERY yellow 76 GL1000 that I have the chance to pick up for 600 bucks....Cosmetics are great, but it needs a bit of mechanical tlc..oil change, carb cleaning etc....It does start and run!. Fairly low miles too..49,700....Yellow paint on the bike is stock color, but the Vetter equipment is custom painted...Looks like a big yellow 2 wheeled banana :smilie_happy: This will be a nice base for my naked cruiser. It needs tires and the chrome is good, although a lot of elbow grease to get shiny again, but overall a good solid bike to start with...Now, what to do with the Vetter luggage? I'm keeping the fairing!
