Looked at it... Needs seats, front tire, battery is most likely shot from sitting. Knees went south and haven't ridden in about 2 years.

I think it would be a poor argument to trade Officer safety for turn signal violation ticket $. There's plenty of 4 wheel plainclothes LE vehicles down here.

Marana Az PD went to all black bikes, uniforms, helmets, a couple of years ago. In mild to heavy daytime city traffic they are INVISIBLE.

About 2 months. Your palms will be very sensitive to impact for several months. Your grip might change slightly too. Little and ring finger won't have the same grip strength when squeezing toward your thumb. Was off work for 10 days on primary hand and 3 days for other. Found the prelim shock...

Short term- a foot long chunk of 2x4 stuffed under the stand.

I always keep a few of those chemical heat paks on hand. Crush one up and toss it in near your feet. Cheaper than buying several different bags.

Washed off the spider webs and started a list of things needed after being parked for almost 2 years.

There's a couple of downsides to Maile you should consider- 1. An entire shirt is a BEAR to put on. 2. Very limited flexibility. 3. Need to wear a heavy shirt under it or it will abrade tender spots. 4. It's HEAVY. 5. Any loose ends will scratch your Bike. 6. In a crash it will snag on...

You can get little plug in electronic screamer devices at the Home Improvement store. 3 pak is about $10. Plug 'em in next to where the bike/car is parked. Packrats used to strip the plug wires on my pickup till I started using these.

Got the windshield remounted. Half the problem was not realizing that there were 2 points of possible failure for the lower bolts. Also didn't realize how bloody freakin cold 35 degrees is without it :rolleyes: Lubed the chain, test ride. Next 6 weeks will be back and forth between Tucson and...

Took the windshield off after work. Two quarter sized fender washers have kept the lower bolts from pulling thru the grommets...however it does nothing to keep the other end of the bolts from pulling out of the mount. There's just too much Cal-Sci surface area above the bolts to trust.

First ride in a month. Got other hand operated on, no more numbness. Gassed up (64 mpg on last tank) and off to work. Front brake felt "off" on the trip home. Both fork seals leaking badly, oil everywhere. :mad:

Doves, dozens of doves. 3 double hits. And a swarm of bees.

Short warm up run getting ready for upcoming Renaissance festival. Some nasty bug nailed me on the left side of the throat near chinstrap. Left hand is recovering nicely after nerve decompression surgery. No more tingling /numbness after 5 mins of riding. Mount bracket on my cheap $35 top box...

I'm a big fan of Clubmans flipped up buckhorn style. Won't clear the NC's frunk without an oddball riser though. Too many potholes out here to trust a 4" Rox against twisting. Hints?

A lowering kit also lowers that knee crippling grab bar.

If at all possible, take the shifter pedal off and use/beg/borrow/steal a large bench vise to hold it while you manhandle it back into shape.

In the late 70's gas from the motor pool was just plain evil. 'Bout 70 octane. P-2 crash trucks, when warm, would run equally well with the ignition on or off.

Chinese quality varies from State Of The Art to Yard Art. Links look good but I'd swap out those bolts immediately with verified auto grade stuff.

105 degree temp, 75 mph, and the screen just slowly folded back. Bolt pulled thru the grommet on one side, grommet pulled thru screen on the other.
