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?"

rode the 650 to work  30*.  Will pick up the 550 this afternoon and get them back under one roof.  The 650 also got a new tachometer holder and indicator light box as those were the last damaged parts.  I also rubbed the plastic with peanut oil and restored the dark color and actually cleared up th fogged up indicator light cover.  amazing

Winterized 2 of the 4 bikes and tucked them into the corner of the garage for their long winter's nap.  The other two bikes will each be spending time on the lift this winter.

Come on Spring!!

Ordered a rectifier from that Oregon guy.  $52 shipped.  I would rather plug it in than make one.

Finished the hookup of my rear brake cable setup on the 550.  Also received my new filter and did a trial fitting.  This is going to work great. ;D ;D

Charged the battery so I could start it. Then took it for a ride on a beautiful fall day.
I may need to get a new battery.

Today I started making the to do list on my 78 SS.  So far I have about a half a dozen things to do before I get to riding it.  Most of it is just tune related stuff, a couple of oil seals to change, clean the fuel tank, and put on a new rear tire.  I can't wait to start riding it.

Cleaned up the GS1000 and put the carbs back on. Started it up and she ran like a champ until the little gas that was left in the tank ran out. Tomorrow I fill the tank back up and give it a nother go with the air filter on.

Started and sat on the CB550F because it was 9 degrees out side.. sigh..
