    Torn apart GS, warm spell in December. Go figure.

    Why the hell didn't anyone tell me there would be a string of 50 degree days in December. I'm standing infront of a pile of GS parts shedding a single tear as bikes motor past my house. Oh well. I'll have her running in a few weeks with a foot of snow on the ground, probably.
    Anyway, thanks to all you brainy folks on the board here. I've learned a ton by checking in every day and just scrolling through posts, and I should have my rebuild complete in a while. I'll post again when it doesn't start, probably. Merry Christmas.

      It'll all be worth it in the end, though. Spring isn't that far off and you'll have a great running bike by then. I have the exact problem as you, though. There are a few non-major things I need to do, but I keep holding out for these rare warm days! I can't wait to get a second bike, that way I've got one running bike when it's needed.

        That is one of the reasons I haven't started doing any work as of yet.

                I sympathise with you. I was lucky this year as I have my Guzzi to keep me sane. Last year was a different story though I had the same thing happen to me, bike in pieces some really good weather and no bike to ride. I refrained from doing an engine rebuild then, but in hindsight should have continued. Now my GS has been idle for to long. I agree with the sentiments regarding info on this site though. There are some really smart guys here.
