Did Godffery get the rims and spokes from Buchanan's?
Can you get the part numbers of the spoke kits and rim sizes(widths) and tire sizes?

Well it was 72° today so I got out for a little riding in the hills of Southern NH before bike night. The apple trees are blooming along with the ornamental trees in the area.

Sorry Maui, Kwanzan is an ornamental only, no cherries.
Come to the Cherry Festival in Traverse City for all the pie and cherries a guy could want.

Cherry pie is my favorite too.

Nice photos guys...
We had a cold snap after orchards southeast of Tucson had bloomed and it killed the blooms, so the apple and a few other varieties of fruit trees were killed for this year despite the orchard 's attempts to save the crops... Not enough smudge pots or however they keep them warm these days...
They were overpriced and not that great a quality, at least what they allowed the public to pick.
Apples are very good for you and can help prevent some headaches. Good for the gut too.

It was yesterday afternoon, I took the day off to help recoup my back from lifting too much over the past few days. I still work for income while I am able, been rehabbing a house, new windows and siding.
So I got the bike's out for a little exercise in the afternoon after sitting in the massage recliner through the morning and being bored. Sitting on the bike seats and riding easy, especially my goldwing which I rode @ 10 miles the back way up to my shop to get my 750 out, helps take the weight pressure off my discs being straddled over the seats. (Therapy for my back!)

 Thanks Ben, my co-worker did the repaint for me and did a wonderful job. The original paint had faded badly. I struggle to keep the rest of the bike up to the standard of the new paint. Uhhh, it’s been 16? years since the repaint. The newer paint is superior to the original, even though many don’t like CGB.
 Yours is much nicer. I like those aluminum rims and the double disc.
