Back on the road!

Can't keep a real biker down!


Now, all I need is a way to keep the bugs out from between my toes...

Had to replace the headlight bulb - after 36 years, the low beam of the original died. No one admits to having 7" motorcycle sealed beams any more, so I put in a standard automotive halogen bulb in a housing  from Mike's XS.

The bike was hard to start after sitting for almost a month, but she started!

Soothing waste of time

This is extremely relaxing.

If he gets stuck, you can click on him and drag him - and if you click right, you can manipulate him in amusing ways.

Sort of like his masters do!

Economical transportation

Filled the bike on the way home. 1978 Yamaha XS650 Special, dead stock except for a newly installed electronic ignition.

Last three tankfuls:

120 miles / 2.22 gallons = 54.05 MPG


123 miles / 2.1 gallons = 58.6 MPG.
103 miles / 1.08 gallons = 57.2 MPG.

Before the ignition,  I was getting 50 - 52 MPG.

I don't baby the machine, either. I bet I could get upwards on 65 MPG if I did.

Bumper Stickers


My bad-weather ride.

Needs a bath. Maybe later today.

Monica Lewinsky stickers available at CafePress. Let's help get the word out for Hitlary for President!
