    THanks for your help story!

    Such a fine site here! Got lucky and picked up a 1980 850G a while back, planned to do a sidecar project with it.IMG_0023.jpg

    Once I determined it was a good bike and I felt okay with sidecar, I decided to make some changesIMG_0103.jpg

          And I started to get nervous with my timeline about getting it done on time. I had planned to have it done and ready to go with about a month to spare for final details....you know, like driving it around and making sure all the mods and stuff were going to be okay! IMG_0048.jpg

                I did make it there....had fun! No problems except for a drain plug on rear drive that I forgot to tighten down! Lucky for me it was still there and I snugged it up. ( this was to be the only repair to rig for entire trip ) IMG_0092.jpg OOPS! sorry for sideways shot....that's the London Bridge! Just had to drive across it!

                    Did a day trip around the southern end of valley. Apparently there was good rain/sunshine combo this winter and the wildflowers were just fantastic! DSC_1078.jpg

                        Then, just as quick as I had got there it was time to leave! A slightly different route was in order for the return trip....DSC_0080.jpg
