Put the body work back on and headed up to Motoblot. Ran great there but ran like crap on the way home, 2 cylinders cut in and out. Monday will be trouble shooting day plus installation off the bags and fairing.

Rode two Iron Butt Association Saddle Sore 1000s on my '75 CB550.  Just in case you don' t know what that means I rode 1000 miles in less than 24  hours. Then eleven hours later rode another 1000 miles in less than 24 hours.

Repaired the latches on my larger Shoei bags and installed them along with the rear rack and small fairing ahead of my trip to SC that should start later today.

UPS runs late here dammit!!! Thanks to Kenny at CycleX this afternoon I got to spend a couple hours installing the head with the replacement valve. Torqued down to 22lbs with the APE studs. Pucks installed with 1104. 2 Oil jets and 4 o-rings in place. Cam towers and cam sitting on top now. You know what I'll be doing tomorrow with my degree wheel  ;D

A few header bolts, one caliper bolt, and a fairing mounting bolt. One of my rear rack bolts is gone completely. I'll hit Home Depot this morning for a replacement.

Scored a early 70's seat with no tears for a reasonable price as the universe continues to push me to take it back stock.  Now to source some hinges  ;D

  Ben riding my green 99 Bandit 1200 the last week so this early evening I changed the oil and filter,cleaned and lubed the chain and flushed,bled and adjusted the rear brake to get a better feeling pedal. Bike just turned over 9900 miles so next ride will probably break 10k. Good the go the rest of the summer.

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Took advantage of my lack of a schedule to do a random ride of about 60 miles over several roads thought the Daniel Boone National Forest in Kentucky. How good was it? Edge to edge tire wear good
