Alabama thread!

Funny you say that. I saved a few 79 CB650/750 in my fb marketplace. I would love a cafe racer from one. I just know I'd be lost as shit when I started

 

Mine is a 79

 

No. Really looked at doing that but, I barely have time to go for weekend trips so couldn’t justify the spend. Long term trips it would be worth it obviously. Dual is around $1,500. My set up is around $550 and I haven’t had any issues with it. I I ever add any solar then I should be able to go longer than 3 days running the fridge with no issues.

 

Thank you

 

Goodnight everyone.

 

Later Jeff.

 

Good morning y’all

 

Good morning Bart.

Good morning Bret.

 

I've since sold em but I had two cb360's at one point. I was building a cafe racer. I went about it all wrong and started tearing em down before I had a fully functional moto. I should have repaired what I had, then built the cafe of of a solid moto

 

From AlabamaWX

COLD WINTER DAY: Clouds cover the northern half of Alabama early this morning, and we will maintain the risk of a few sprinkles or flurries through mid-morning. Temperatures are mostly in the mid to upper 30s at daybreak; expect a high toady in the 46-55 degree range with some sun breaking through the clouds this afternoon.

Tonight will be clear and cold with lows below freezing over the northern half of the state. Then, expect a sunny sky tomorrow with highs in the 50s and 60s.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: The weather stays dry Saturday with a partly to mostly sunny sky. The high across North Alabama will be somewhere between 55 and 60 degree, with low to mid 60s for the southern counties. Clouds increase Saturday night, and wet weather returns to the state Sunday with periods of rain. Some thunder is possible, but there is no risk of severe storms with highs in the 50s.

NEXT WEEK: We catch a break in the rain Monday, but a surface front will settle into the state Tuesday and become stationary, brining unsettled, wet weather through mid-week. We expect occasional rain Tuesday through Thursday… rain amounts of 1-3 inches are likely statewide. A few thunderstorms are possible along the way, but at this point we aren’t expecting anything severe. Colder, drier air arrives Friday. Highs through the week will be seasonal… mostly in the 50s and 60s. See the daily Weather Briefing video for maps, graphics, and more details.



RAIN UPDATE: Here are rain totals for far this month, and the departure from average…

Birmingham 6.72″ (+2.68″)
Anniston 6.04″ (+2.18″)
Tuscaloosa 5.44″ (+1.42″)
Dothan 4.92″ (+1.12″)

ON THIS DATE IN 1772: Possibly the greatest snowfall ever recorded in the Washington DC area started on this day. When the storm began, Thomas Jefferson was returning home from his honeymoon with his new bride, Martha Wayles Skelton. The newlyweds made it to within eight miles of Monticello before having to abandon their carriage in the deep snow. Both finished the ride on horseback in the blinding snow. The newlyweds arrived home late on the night of January 26th. In Jefferson’s “Garden Book,” he wrote, “the deepest snow we have ever seen. In Albermarle, it was about 3 feet deep.”

 

Good morning Mike.

 

Morning!

 

I got bogged down with the carbs. Jets are stuck and brass is soft.
I’ll end up having someone rebuild the carbs and I’ll finish the rest I reckon… one day at some point.

 

I was going to purchase some mikuni carbs from dime city cycles. Expensive but the carbs I had were leaky even after I rebuilt. I got tired of fooling with them. Then got tired of the whole project lol

 

I looked at some of those. People either love them or hate them, kinda like adding the pod air filters.

 

I have a 73 Kawasaki G3 that I started restoring when I was 14. got it all painted and put back together then the Header flange broke and I lost interest. Never rode it more than a mile from my house. I had a buddy machine me a new flange about a year ago lol. Might drag it out and get it back going again this spring.


Looks just like this one with out the stickers.

 

Morning fellas

 

I like that color.

 

Good morning everyone, have a great and blessed day.
