after a long winter, and the beast being snowbound up a half mile icy drive, i am finally getting it ready. taking a break from adjusting the valves. not knowing what to expect, i found it pretty easy going. the hardest part being getting the cover off. lots of great support from fellow cogers thanx
 
I did a buch of work yesterday on my bike and the wifes, got to take hers out for a run,,felt great to just get out !! Was a long day with carb overhaul, coolant change and battery replacement then an oil change and carb sync on the wife's bike. Spring has sprung !!

Definitely feels good to have spring here. I currently have my fuel line undergoing re-engineering... hope to have it all back in place and working a bit better in a few days. :) Steve K. '02 Concours COG# 6550 AMA# 965469 'No matter where you go, there you are...'

PMS is over for a while. Road mine around the block Sunday, about 3/4 mile, before loading it in my ranger to haul it over here to Port Angeles. Now if the humidity would drop 1% and the temp would rise about 1* and the wind would back off about 1 mph I would be a happy camper or Biker that is. 1990 Aint she a pretty Tomato (the bike ofcourse) wedshots albums http://community.webshots.com/user/sawfiler64/albums/most-recent
 
OK I got ya. Picked up new (for me) 04 from WI and rode it back to upstate NY. Two days 1100 miles. Having a hard time staying off it. Coming up with all kinds of excuses of how I have to go somewhere to do some important thing. "Honey I'm off to Bobs to help him rearrange his sock drawer". Luvin it
 
Say Hi to Bob and his socks for me. Does he still have that set of orange woolies he wears deer hunting? Y'know, this really p***ses me off when an Apple Knocker brags about riding a new scoot from The Frozen Wasteland back to "Bingahamcusechester" or wherever, and I'm still freezing my dinkies off here in Paradise. Good on yer, Jim.

You folks must live on a different planet or something. It's just super riding weather here - Just had a real soaker Saturday, a light 3.5" of the wet stuff. Did get a nice ride in Sunday with the PGR. Why don't you just hang it up and come on down to Coastal Georgia (USA) for October till May. St. Pat's Day is just one big party around here.http://www.cog-online.org/clubportal/mboards/images/topicicons/thumbsup.gif (Now is this Icon going to work?)
