Thanks steve.So far vincent says he has got that covered with the manometer when we get to the carbs which should be friday.So far changed the oil.Found out the throtle cable had gotten bunched up took care of that she now idles at 1000.Will be ordering an o-ring and gasket.Also changed the brake fluid.And will be changing the plugs and wire set on friday..And vincent was showing me exactly what you guys were saying to check for..So for so good he said the bike is in pretty good shape and shoudn't take to much to get her in tip top shape..

Good news!

Ok got a few things done to the bike this week.Ordered a few things and said today i will take the bike out for a nice little ride since i had not gone any distance on it yet.Thought i would go for a good 30 mile ride and get the fell of it and enjoy it.crusing along at 50+ and loving the ride a guy turning left decided i will make my turn i didn't see that bike there.When he made that turn eveything went into slow motion.With him in front of me i swerved to the left thank god no one was coming behind him.He pulled over .Came over to me and was very apoligetic said he did not see me and was answering his sons text message.I ended up in the grass but didn't go down.Iam sure this has happened to others here.Iwas shaking like a leaf for a while but finished the ride love the bike even more now.It just reminded me to always stay alert.And expect the unexpected..

Good thing, you were alert and able to avoid the moron's inattentiveness. Texting and driving is BAD enough. Texting while going through a turn. Yes, he is a MORON.

Well i guess its better to get that lesson out of the way early on..... dang crazy drivers... you just have to keep your head on a swivel or they'll turn you into a hood ornament!


Glad you're ok brother!

If he had used his indicators you would have known he was about to turn!

So true.But like aviation fred said he was a moron..But i always feel when something like that happens and it turns to tradgedy its too late to say iam sorry..Because that won't bring anybody back..But as bike riders we know a split second can change our lives forever.Or worse end it..
