The "stain" on the asphalt isn't from the bike either. My 12 year old MinPin leaked on the lot this morning, and I forgot until I had posted these pics, lol!
 
Had a new Pirelli Snow Control series 3 mounted on the GL1800 rear wheel. Yoko Envigor was about done in by our trip out West. Brought it home, and this evening when it cooled down rolled the Black Pearl out in the drive and swapped it back on. Gotta love a 900 lb + bike that you can lay on its side to swap rear wheels in less than 15 minutes have the job complete and bike put back up.

That's a clean looking bike.
Thanks.
Did you see how I did the trunk brake light? I bet you can do yours just as easily.
I substituted the front reflectors for LED running lights, and installed the same on the rear bags as auxilliary signals. I did the Same on my 82 Silverwing Bags and Fairing, and no one even notices in person, until I operate the lights, lol!

The bags, fairing, and radio were all installed at the dealership by the original buyer, and I still have all the paperwork, although I am owner #7.

I think I can, I'll just have to do an LED conversion for the turn signals. Which is still on my todo list - four bulbs, one LED compatible blinker assembly.

doctors appointment today, 4-6 more weeks in the boot

William,
That really sucks up the rest of the summer. :(
Can't you even just toodle about a bit on the 450 Nighthawk? :moped:
 
Riding the Slug and her trailer back from the airport. I love the looks I get in the airport parking garage riding the bike pulling the trailer after just getting my luggage stashed away in the trailer.

Still only short 30 mile or less trips, but I am going to enjoy as much riding like this as I can (as pain levels allow.)

Here is an older pic of one of my airport trips:

I had the same thing. Good thing for me was that it was in January/February so there wasn't much riding happening anyway.

Well, there is that, I'l have to admit. I am damned lucky I didn't break my leg as well, to be honest. Getting older can really be a pain, and that is something I never would have thought I would be saying, lol!

I got in about 350 miles today. I took the tintop out to zeeland, mi and stopped in at trailbuddy.com. they sell parts to restore honda minitralis and they also offer restoration services plus sell a few different chineese made bikes. I was there for the mini show
