what did you do today

[detdrbuzzard]

yesterday i went to Taylor, Mi and picked up a companion for my IceBear

I put a new set of points in the '76. Then spent an hour or more adjusting the point gap to make them both fire at the same time so at least that's done before the timing light comes out.
Does that sound like the right way to do it? I'm very familiar with the cb750 points, but these are just a little different to me.

Do you have the Honda FSM? It is spelled out fairly clearly in it.

Not for the 1000's, and no points on an '83. Clymers manual won't cut it for this one, but I think it's covered now.

The Honda FSM is available as a free pdf download from several sites. If you are going to work on a GL1000, you really need it.

i had a bad reaction to onions at henry's today which triggered vertigo. once home i went and got keys for the IceBears. i got the BlueBear out and changed the shift lever, the blackBear came with a heal / toe shifter but i changed it too. after that i went to work and changed the carb, i'll have to drain the tank and run both fuel lines direct to the carb soon. i also installed a battery tender harness. vertigo started bothering me so i called it a day

I should buy one of those little *****, they’re cheap enough!

Dragged the bike outside to sandblast the rust near the rear master cylinder. Much easier than a wire wheel. Then wrapped it back up to repaint.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a better match than duplicolor for honda frame black?

Bear on a bike comes to mind!

picked the Stang up from the shop a few hours ago, it had no heat cause the blower motor gave up the ghost

Not bike related, but today I woke up to the sound of jackhammers. They are working on the street. No notice, so I could not prepare myself for it.

Oh well. At least the street will be nicer.

Needle biopsy on the man gland. Ouch. Won't be riding for a few weeks.

 

[Daeouse]

Took the wheels off the Wing to get new tires put on!

 

[detdrbuzzard]

haven't posted in awhile. my black IceBear had been down since just before winter, between vertigo and cold weather i had not had a chance to see what was wrong with it. yesterday after figuring out and fixing what was wrong i got it running, today i took a 6km ride so i'm back on the road

It was a beatiful day in NE Ohio so I took my wife out for lunch on the "83 GL1100i. We spent about 2 hours cruiseing some nice, quiet country roads in Amish country. That's our daughter with me in the photo.

Had a bone scan done. That wasted the morning. Plan to ride the Spyder in to Twisters later to see what everyone is riding and enjoy some ice cream.

 

[pidjones]

Results of the scan are no metastatic disease (in the bones).
