Hi all, I figured I should introduce myself, since I don't think I ever have. Been reading here for awhile.
Any way, I live near Marquette, MI, which is way up north to those who don't know. I am an automotive mechanic, and have 2 little girls, 8 and 5. I currently have 2 goldwings, a 76 naked, and an 83 interstate. The 76 was my first wing, and I bought it half disassembled cheap. After reading on here and ngwclub, the first thing I did was rebuild the carbs and put timing belts on. It's been fun and have been riding it for 3 years now.
Last fall a buddy gave me a was running interstate. His fil had given it to him, and he didn't want to get it running. I changed fluids, timing belts, and cleaned starter brushes. It now runs good, and have ridden it around the yard, but it lacks brakes and safe tires. Hopefully by mid summer I'll have it all together and safe.
Pics or it didn't happen right?
Well, pics after I get 5 posts I guess.
