Well we finally got a day of nice weather. And I had the day off. I thought I may have to get the owners manual out to see how to start the bike. Seems like it has been that long anyay. Got ride around central Illinois. Rode 300 miles today. All I can say is GREAT!!!. Bring on spring. I am ready.

I'm jealous... my GL still has no brakes!!! I might have to cancel my order with Old Bike Barn and order elsewhere since they are backordered on my rebuild kits!

Just so you don't miss those rides the next season coming, order that suff during the summer, when no one wants to do it, then you have it for the winter - now this is what my daddy always told me - did I listen, hmmmmm.

Check with JC Whitney in LaSalle they normally have them in stock. If not there is a mail order place called motogrid. They are in Peru and sell oem honda. You can not go to pick up mail order only. But I always get the stuff in a day.

We had a few nice days too. I pulled the normal DA and drained the battery with the fuel turned off...

I like to keep a full carb gasket set, beltsand other rebiuld dodads on hand and yeah ordering that stuff during the mid summer is a great idea. See if you can setup a kit at a discount with your vendor even if it's just to cover shipping.

Too bad we can't do group buys. The sportbike club I belong to has group buys all the time on tires, brake pads, ss hoses and other items. I've saved a few hundred dollars joining in. Of course I've spnt a few thousand as well..

I guess I should have read that before I clicked "buy it now" on a 2 caliper set on ebay... oh well.. either way I should be good to go by the end of next week.. I hope.

Barely. I don't have tags on my Wing yet so around the block will have to do. But it was nice anyway and the local hood rats were quite curious as most bikes here are Harleys.
