Been riding the Slug back and forth to the boatyard with her trailer full of tools working to get the boat in the water. Today I had to take the car. 3 days of riding and my back had enough. It sure is fun when I can ride! :music: :moped:

Glad to see that you are still enjoying riding Gerry even if your body isn’t. :whistling:

I would take any serious offer all they had to do was come and see the bike and I in person to negotiate.
:yes: :good:

I put my Wing on the market to sell, listed it for 2500.00 but that I would take any serious offer all they had to do was come and see the bike and I in person to negotiate.
Nice looking bike, if it's the one in your photo gallery. You should be able to get your asking price.

Was feeling a little peaked, so I put the charger on the 400 Hawk, and took the CM250C for a 30 minute jaunt just to get some fresh air. If the Hawk's Cheap AGM battery will come up, I'll take it for a longer ride, if not, I will be ordering a "Motobatt" for it too. -Graves-
Earlier today - watched it start pouring here around 6:30 PM, no evening ride - time to check the battery charge on the 400 Hawk.
Update today - Both Cheap AGM batteries dead as a doornail. So I am ordering the MotoBatt tonight. And one other important duty-donating to this website - Done

I try to remember to donate around my join date. Takes money to keep this great site going.
seeing that my life gets pretty boring during the winter months and I'm usually home on new years day I donate then
well I've been home just taking it easy the last two days, yesterday my stomach was really unsettled, today I feel better but still taking it easy. I was trying to upload some music on an SD card but the old windows 7 computer doesn't recognize it and the new computers don't have an SD slot

Makes sense to me. What doesn't makes sense is how the latest, greatest tech, like music CDs, storage and playback media, all gets outmoded in less than a decade. Thankfully my oldest motorcycles still run on the "modern" roads, but ethanol and proposed "tax-by-the-mile" garbage is trying hard to make us, and our bikes, obsolete as well!

Today I ordered yet another Motobatt, this time for my 67 CA77. That's 3 in less than a month, but they were all overdue anyway. Now I need to find the best deal on synthetic 4-stroke motorcycle oil, and stock up.
 
i had fun just riding up and down the block. I rode the Mighty ST 1300 over to john Wayne's house , he let me ride his CT-70's the gold one has a 125 lifan motor

Fired up the Valk. It had been sitting for about a month. Shame on me. Third time in as many years a float is stuck. This one is playing hardball. I might actually have to pull the rack on the beast this time.

:swoon:
 
I worked on cars from 7am to 8pm. After feeding the pup, forgot my own supper & fell asleep until Midnight:15. Now it's Tomorrow. This is why my sleep schedule stays whacked, lol!
 
Today I batteried-up and have all 3 Dreams, 150, 160, & 305, running. Anyone out there have a CA72 250 in restorable shape? That will be my last bike purchase, I think, should I ever happen to actually find one, lol!
I also tried to convince my Silverwing to run without gasoline, unsuccessfully, lol! It helps to turn the petcock to "run" :doh:

Do you run ATF in the gas? I'm running in my wing and it has prevented problems from creeping up, but it didn't do a flippin thing for the 4 year old battery that died, just b4 a ride :head bang:
 
yesterday morning I was over at cousinJeff's house getting part of the mount for the fuel cell replaced and an antenna mount installed
