Productive weekend. Brought the engine over from my buddy's house who used to build them for a living, to my other friend who's shop is our base of operations. First, we needed to move the truck bed, so we set it back where it goes. First time sitting on all four wheels since we cut up the frame to shorten it. Sits about 8 inches lower. Going to look SWEET when we get the bed painted.




Started at 9:30 in the morning with this:




And a 2:15 in the afternoon, we had this. Click to go to Flickr for the video.

Friday evening, I was messaged by a former Connie owner that lives about 2 hours away from me, that wanted to dispose of a few spare C10 parts he had kicking around his garage.
Knowing I had Monday off, and there was a PGR mission in the same area of the concours parts, I hooked up my little camp trailer to the back of the bike, and got everything done Monday.
Did you know that an 86 concours with a trailer, is still able to keep up with 80-90mph traffic on I-80?

Very quiet on here lately.

it’s true! there is passage, but not much talkative 

I actually want to add a C10 to the stable. I think the wife would like it for long distances. She's riding a GSX1250FA at the moment and loves it. Just not super great for long hauls. I REALLY need to add a hitch to my C14 so we can do more motorcycle camping. I loved the trip we did for our honeymoon, but stacking all the stuff on the bike kinda sucked.

Very quiet on here lately.

I went for a decent ride on Otto last Sunday with a few friends. We went to a bike store/cafe in Sudbury (UK) called TTT Motorcycle Village.
Lots of used motorcycles available (but no GTRs), riding gear, accessories, and a decent cafe that does a good All Day English breakfast.

Otto behaved admirably considering he is now only 200 miles away from his double-rollover.
He has 200k miles on the frame/odometer and 25k miles since rebuild of Sanji's 150k mile engine (so engine at approx. 175k miles).
When he hits that 200k miles I will be swapping the instrument cluster over for a new-old-stock one that I scored a few years ago for 60UKP.
He will go from 0 miles to 0 miles 

Vivian is shortly going in to a local motorcycle mechanincs for a full top-end service prior to our August trip to Austria.
