Ordered aluminium fenders and picked my engine up from the shop I worked at before. Going to take it all apart at home now. Heads are already off, down to splitting the lower half and cleaning it all out.

It jumps out of third gear when pulling away at the light going up the ramp for the highway and going through the gears pretty quickly. Haven't had a look yet, but anything that is a common problem with the gearbox I need to look at first?

I took my '74 cb750 out for a cool ride today.  By cool, I mean the outside temperature was 40 degrees so it dropped a bit while riding.  I bundled up and it was very invigorating.  Forcast is snow tomorrow for Portland, Oregon.  It still was a fun ride!

Looks pretty clean, does it look as good as your old one pre-accident?

I would say it looks slightly better. The guy also had a complete fork set (no rust) for $100 I should have picked up.

Did, what feels to be, the last ride of the season. It's getting cold up here in CT and I think it's time for hibernation. Have a couple things to do to the bike as it sits like tapered all balls steering head bearing, swing arm bushings and moving wiring and battery under my seat. Not too much but it'll keep me sane for a little while during the winter.
