It's been too cold to go into the garage, but now it's warmer so tomorrow I'll take off the Optimate from the battery, remove the seat and tank, check the tappets, replace a duff horn, and the speedo cable, check the chain and sproket wear, and few other little jobs. Then maybe I'll actually ride it!

I ordered a valve compressing tool, and received my new rings.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Are you going to put your barrels on your Sunnen honing machine and put a nice crosshatch pattern in 300 grit on them?

This evening I just finished dyeing my home built seat black.
I made it from an old brown jacket and a hardwood base. Not the best looking but I didn't like the small solo saddle as it showed too much frame.
This is one of many tries, probably not the last.
Since its a collections of bits I can get away with almost anything I guess.

Been looking for a month for my 1/4" socket long extension & universal to take the intake rocker cover off and adjust the intake valves, with no luck. Finally went & bought new ones, set them right beside Bonne where I can't miss them so I can adjust them tomorrow.
Was an incredible 57 deg. here today, but I wouldn't think of taking my new paint up my slippery, 100% mud in some places 1/2 mile drive for a ride even if I did have all the tins back in place - which I don't. Anyway, was out of town most of the daY.....
Need to take a collection to raise about $1,500.00 US for new gravel on my drive before I take Bonne out.......either that or pave a 3 foot wide strip for 1/2 mile.......
Hey, Rath! For less than one day - you already have 3 pages of stuff! You hit a hot button, for sure!
