elmicko Posted December 6, 2009 Share #26 Posted December 6, 2009 Put mine down in my garage Thanksgiving weekend. Got a few projects to do. Repair and reinforce cracks in faring. Sync carbs and replace diaphragms. Replace battery cables and run extra ground to frame from starter. Change Oil & filter. Hope I remember how the whole thing goes back together.

Bubber Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share #40 Posted January 7, 2010 I have a friggen hanging heater in the garage and it is just to dang cold to go out there and get started. It has been below zero for a while and I Hate it! Next week it may reach freezing whoopy friggen do! Did I mention I hate winter the older I get? Jobs is coming along. Boss is good to work for and the job pays the bills. I wasn't my dream job but I think I can grow to like it. It is a lot closer to the house and cost a lot less in fuel to get here. GOOD FOR ME! All you boys down south enjoy the nice weather your having I am sending as much south as I can. I think Squidley is loading it into his trailer when he comes back.
