What great biking presents did you get?
« on: December 24, 2010, 02:27:49 AM »
OK so it's probably a bit early except for our Antipodean friends but as I already had one great biking present so far I thought I'd see what you guys also got that was a top class bikers gift?

I'll start it off - my father in law has an appreciation of my obsession so he kindly paid for a huge crank roller bearing for my XV750 rebuild. Pretty cool Christmas pressie in my book ;D

The Wife bought me a cb350f. I had been storing it for one of her friends and told her to ask the gal if she'd sell it since it was obvious she wasn't going to ride after it sat for a year. A few days later there was a title in my stocking. I'll post pics once I uncover it. It needs a super deep cleaning but's it's not missing anything so I'm thinking I'll just getting it running right and ride it as is.

A Goldwing!

Major Wiffy points!  She wants to ride too and knows that riding 2-up on either of my SOHC4 bikes prolly won't work.  So she gave me a budget and said to go forth and buy!  Found a nice '82 GL1100 Interstate full dresser.  Needing some wrenching, but that's just fine with me!

Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

Tommorrow I will be getting a Pamco elctronic ignition, new coils and Iridium spark plugs. The '78 750K should be a firing breathing dragon - I hope.

I snuck down the stairs early and found Santa has left a complete OEM Honda tool kit for my 1980 CBX.  ;D  With a pouch!  The pouch is shot, but there is enough there for a pattern.  I can probably make one up that will be pretty close to the original once I find suitable material.  Really neat kit like this (#9):

I got a RapidAir kit for the garage. Kinda like wiring the garage with air lines and quick connect boxes where ever you want to route them. Plug in your air compressor in one location and leave it there.
