    Honda ST 1100 in the garage

    Nice find Trevor. Are you sure that's a 92? I had one identical to that but it was a 93. I had to search long and far for the 93 because of it's color. That bike would eat up hundreds of miles like it was nothing. And it was happy to do it all day at 90+ mph. I had mine for 23 years before...

    what did you wrench on today??

    Not m/c related but today I tore into my zero turn lawn mower. It has been leaving oil droppings on the garage floor so I had to put cardboard under it to catch the oil. My 1st time for removing the hydrostatic transmission. Need to find out what is causing the leak. I am suspecting some sort...

    Fuel tank repair (1983 GS850G)

    +1 on what ^^^ said. I did that a few years back and while it may not be the cheapest way to go, IMO, it's the best way to go. The reason I say it's not the cheapest way is because you will have to paint it afterwards.

    Hello from Alaska!

    Welcome to the site. Yes, more pics of the bike would be great. Hurry up and enjoy your summer riding season because it only lasts about 3 weeks.........but on the plus side, when it does come at least you can ride in daylight a looonnnnggg time each day.

    Just bought A Beemer

    To GS1150Pilot, when changing the final drive gear oil, make darn sure to inspect the magnetic piece in the drain plug. DAMHIK, but BMW was famous for not making sure the shimming process was properly done. The ones that fail were mostly shimmed too tight. The guy that overhauled mine claims...

    Attrition in available tires for 1000G What is recommeded now?

    Last week I ordered a new Avon for my Triumph and when it arrived, the date code showed it to be 2 years, 4 months old. I contacted the place I purchased it from and was told any tire under 3 years old is considered "new". This supplier was CHAPARRAL motorsports out of southern California...

    Attrition in available tires for 1000G What is recommeded now?

    FWIW, speaking of Avons, I was told recently that they are going to stop producing tires. At least for m/c. Probably already known by most of you but I must have forgot it if I did know it before.

    Attrition in available tires for 1000G What is recommeded now?

    I hadn't noticed that. Fortunately, I have a new 230 model to go on the front as soon as the present one goes bald. It's nearly there.

    Hello from Nebraska

    sounds like a plan to me.

    Attrition in available tires for 1000G What is recommeded now?

    Can't go wrong with Shinkos. Excellent grip wet or dry, very good handling in the twisties but short lived on the mileage. Good thing about that is you can install new tires each season and what better feeling than new tires. As far as the mileage goes, expect 4-7 thousand miles. YMMV.

    Hello from Nebraska

    What a small world eh? I live just a 1/4 mile north of 168th and Giles. Couple hours west of here huh? That would be in the G.I. area I guess. I do get out there quite often.
