Lots of bustin some rust but making some headway! Had a friend come over and really helped me knock out a good portion of this! Started reassembly one side to get a head start on tomorrows adventure! Have to get me a bolt extractor socket set so I can save the dust shields and reuse them. Been fun and can’t wait to get this thing out of my driveway! Be for sale soon after it’s done and has an alignment!

Been a long time since I’ve made a post. Been a short 6 months and spring has me coming out of hibernation. So many projects to work on starting with this Kawi enduro and my personal car. Then we have some work to do on an old friend, FranK and Roxy is getting some special attention as well. Lots to learn with everything going on and I’ll keep everyone up to date!

Sending so much love to you and your families and let’s get going on a beautiful 2025!

Too many riders down this year… some couldn’t be avoided. Two bikes, both two up, and two days in a row breaks my heart y’all. Riders please be safe, don’t have that one more drink, call someone for a ride, and keep an eye on your six for driver’s.

Drivers the text can wait, drive sober, drive alert, and always check your mirrors. I don’t know the families involved nor the story, but my heart and prayers go out to all families involved with those two motorcycle accidents.

To mine and Bridgets families and loved ones. We will be changing our riding style a little a bit. Helmets with communications, jackets, probably special riding pants, and gloves. We can never be too careful and experiencing three bikes go down this year, has me convinced enough. I’m thankful they are all still here to tell the tale, though, I hear some recently didnt have that same fate.

Hold your loved ones close and look twice. Might save a life. Much love everyone.

Good Wednesday morning everyone!! Couple things coming up! This weekend I’m out of town for a motorcycle trip I go on every year so I’ll be out of town.

Starting next week I’ll be opening back up for business!! Right now I have two revivals, one to have done before September and one I’d like to get done before spring next year. With that being said, there is plenty of time and opportunity between those two! We may have a vlx 600 being brought in for some issues running but that’s it so far. Let me know if you need work done and tell your friends 🤙🏼 thanks all!!

What a time yesterday was! She was ready to go after charging the battery and putting the last few pieces together. 😎 I learned A LOT and had so many obstacles but we got her done!! Came out this morning and it’s hard to not stare.

Fix connection on left passing light
Lower one mirror
Bleed front brakes
Throttle and clutch cables from Venhill USA
Airbox, tank and seat

Well we finally have the bars mounted back on the VTX!!! Tested everything out and by golly everything is groovy 😎 I found a really nasty wire and had to chase it back pretty far to find a good point. Looked farther into it, and where I spliced was end of the damaged area. Idk what happened but this wire got real hot at some point 😭 could’ve been bad! So I took another wire and soldered it in place and ran heat shrink over the whole area I hopes that it’ll protect a little better if it happens again.

Up next: I have ordered the throttle cables, clutch cable and the new Brake hose! Lead times vary so unsure of arrival from Venhill USA. ANOTHER SURPRISE REPAIR!? I also have a new front tire on the way (shinko 777, wanted to try it out). While on my way back from Ohio, one of the nasty potholes in Indiana must’ve caused my clutch side fork seal to blow. This caused horrible cupping in my almost new Commander II and it’s no longer safe to use. So fork seals and a new front tire when that comes in and basically gonna be a whole new front end 🤣 thanks for looking!!

One side of the handlebar wiring is complete! Today I’ll be tackling the other side and doing some extra wiring/repair on the wiring in the headlight bucket before everything gets connected. By EOD we should have the new bars attached with electrical all finished. Will be testing everything out when it’s hooked up as well. Thanks for looking!
