Saturday brought along some great weather for us here in the So-So Midwest (it won’t be ‘Great’ again until this weather breaks for good).  We had near 60F weather, and I was loving it.  It was warm enough to work on a my little 50 quad, but, best of all, Robert and I got to finish off the V65.  We have been close for a while, but someone went and left for Mexico (not naming names, Robert), so we finally but the gasket and clamp on the right side exhaust, and got the clutch slave-cylinder bled!  Robert took it for a ride, it worked just like it was supposed to, so it made it back to his house!!  He is pretty excited, and is planning on riding it to work later on this week– temps should be upper 40’s and lower 50’s for the weekend!

So, as we finished that project, I began another, by taking off the front brake and master cylinder off the mighty GS250!  It was a chore, ’cause that thing was frozen on there pretty tightly.  But, it is in a bucket and ready to be worked on!  Next is removal of the carbs, changing of the oil, and seeing if this thing can run.  All in all, a good project for February. 

I had to move Danny’s RR around in my garage, so the old Ford could fit in, and it is having a hard time standing up– with totally flat tires, the bike doesn’t want to stay on its side stand (good thing there was a bicycle to break its fall!!), so, in order to keep it upright, I have a tiedown from the ceiling rafter to the handle bar.  It is quite the sight, and I’ll be taking some pictures to post on here later on as proof!  I think we will be finished with that project by the end of this month as well, so Feb will go down as the project finish month this year!!

Other than that, not much news.  We are all (ok, some of us) waiting for the Dealer Show in Indy, coming up the middle of this month.  They will have all the vendors there for anything that is motorcycle/atv/watercraft related; I am hoping that there are more than a few new and exciting things released/unveiled there this year.  I am going to make an effort to list some of the more exciting/innovative products that show up.

That pretty much sums it up for now…not much to go on at the end of  Jan or the beginning of Feb, but more to come!!
