Coming home yesterday noticed in the paint on the minivan in front of me the headlight was not on.Great,fuse blown?Get home check the fuse,it's fine.OK strip the fairing off and get the bulb out,looks good.Well take the tank off then.Finally find the male end of the "spare" connector under there.Plug it in and I have headlights again:clap:

Gee does it help if you put things in the right order.Have not been running air in the fork because of a cut line between the legs.Decided to get one of the other air fittings I have and get air in.Took the legs down and put the fitting on then the rubber spacer ans the "washer".Tried airing it up and got a hissss.Go WTH and leave it for a while.It dawned on me in a bit that the washer and rubber spacer had to be under the fittings.Did that and when I put mt small bicycle pump to it nothing to be heard:clap:

My wife's stay at the hospital was longer that it should have been.but that is another story.Saturday morning dawned gray any cloudy,around 7 am it started to rain,hard.My mother in law was coming to take Kelly up and to support me as well.Phoned to see if we where still going(to this http://www.vibikers.com/forum/index.php?topic=5102.0 ).I hate riding in the rain but nothing was going to keep me away!It was a miserable ride up but we got there.So here are some pics I took there:
Pretty nice XS1100 caf? that I don't have a better pic of.
This guy found this motor in some sort of service cart thingy,built a MC around it.Not as old as it looks!
XS650 bobber,only bad pic on this one to.Camera battery was low
Beautifully restored Z1.

Guy with the Z1 brought this to.
Unfinished XS650 dirt tracker.Another bad pic,sorry.
Been watching this build on VIBikers http://www.vibikers.com/forum/index.php?topic=4456.0 Turned out pretty good IMHO.
72 Triumph.........Hmmmm....
This guy buit a frame around a diesel motor,a small MC motor gutted and used for a transmission and a registered steering head.Pretty sure that is all that"s left of the bike!

That black and red Yamaha is nice. I would choose different colors though.... Old bikes with modern wheels and suspension just looks so well together!
The Z1 is VERY nice! And how about that GS750EF?
Looks like a lot great builds there. Especially that diesel motor and the caddy engine...

Hey! Thanks for the cool pics, etc.
Do you, by any chance, know what kind of windscreen this is? It looks like one from a Katana ... but I'm not sure. I ask because I'd like to do something similar on my 1980 GS1100ET.

Riding to work yesterday and a guy in a pickup opened his window to tell me the taillight wasn't working.It wasn't.Checked the fuses,the connections.Everything I could check on lunch seemed OK.Got home and started working on it.Was really weird,light worked when just pushed in but not when it was turned.Very strange
Still have another one so I changed the unit out.Took the one in the bike apart and the ground wire was broken off

I joined a new forum http://www.bcclassicmotorcycleclub.com/index.php?option=com_banners&task=click&bid=12 .They asked me for a picture of Old Yeller for they're 2012 calendar.From junkyard dog to calender girl.Been quite the ride:dancing:Insurance expired and she is in the shed for the winter.Have to repaint the header as a few wet weather rides have ravaged it.A mostly good summer riding but the weather here is such that if it's nice it's to cold and if it's warm it's raining.
