Title: Hey all, haven't seen you in awhile
Post by: dboogie2288 on August 30, 2021, 10:48:27 AM: I had been hanging out...eh...elsewhere and I thought this forum had gotten absorbed into the 'new' cog site. Glad to see I was wrong, and I'll be coming around far more often again. Right now the connie is benched for a front master cylinder rebuild....but parts should be here this week so fingers crossed that she gets back into the game.

Oh, and I bought a pacific coast this weekend... :D

She's about 53k old, and the guy I bought it from was just trying to flip it for profit. I ended up talking with the (mostly) original owner this morning to get a rundown on what he had done to the bike. It's just been so taken care of. New orings, new batt, new water pump, new tires, new brakes, everything since early 2020. I went to check the oil level on her on saturday and the oil was like perfect....so I knew I wanted more information before I started throwing parts on something that didn't really need it. Well, I was right, doesn't need anything at this point except someone to ride her. And I intend to do so. Put about 200 miles on her over friday-sunday and its just a bike that makes you smile. I always say, I'd prefer to ride a slow bike fast, than a fast bike slow.....and this is a perfect example to that rule of mine.

They rarely come in such great condition and nice color too! I have seen a few here and there but in bad shape and way high miles. You snagged a good one.
