Good looking out friends. Frame rash is a good call.

 

god i want to come out and not only ride that area but take pics!

 

Yeah I'm kicking myself for not bringing my camera with aside from my phone. I still get sketched out by the vibrations on the bike, especially offroad, even though its mirrorless. Plus dropping it and whatnot..

Crazy beautiful area though, and a surprising amount of rideable trails with a good mix of gravel/dirt roads, UTV/ATV double tracks, and single track.

 

Looks like the weather is supposed to dry up a little. I hope it kinda holds moving into my days off. I took my next hitch of nights off so I'll have 21 days off starting Wednesday. I'd love to get the bike through it's first oil change, get the mods on it, get the bed rack and RTT on the Taco, paint up my sliders and get them on, do some kayaking and camping....

How about all you two wheeled maniacs? Big rides planned? Fun times? I'm stuck in my little bunker for 11 more hours and need some vicarious experiences to enjoy!

 

Lucky. Ive got a big list of things to do on my truck too. But no riding for me. Need a break from 8 days in a row

 

Oh, believe me. I earn it.

I don't blame you for taking a bit of a riding break. Did all those miles bring up nags or niggles on the bike you want to address beyond the chain maintenance bit? Have you decided if you are going to get an oiler?

 

For those that like projects, I came across this Honda.

 

Thos

Those are fun little bikes

 

Honestly i haven't thought about the oiler. I know I want a front tire more

 

Fair.

 

Helping a buddy work on this today. @oldtoyman wishes he had it

 

Nice! Slight correction.

Any other pics he'll let you share will be appropriately drooled over.

 

Check this one out. I saw it about 3 years ago and had to take pics.

 

Went to check out the bike. Think I’m gonna be picking it up Monday. Looked good, took a few kicks to start up but I expected as much. Chain and sprockets were rusty so those will eventually be getting replaced, one of the front forks is leaking from sitting so long, and I think a new front tire will probably be a good idea. But overall ram great through all the gears and idled well

 

Im here working on putting an OME suspension on. Fighting 35 years of rust every step. Its an 87 manual

 

PB Blaster is your friend?

 

You ever do those projects where it just fits perfectly and works perfectly? This was one of those for me. Put a universal “headrest” molle panel on the groms existing subframe bosses. The spacing between those perfectly lined up with the spacing on the panel slits, then the molle spacing lines up perfectly with a Kriega us-5 bag, and I have three other small bags I might put on instead. So easy. I did it as a test run today but plan on filming a how-to tomorrow. I might weld up a small frame to reinforce the plastic panel, but that’s a maybe. Not bad for $20 in parts.

 

Yeah he has so much. I brought over some mapp gas as well. Everything is just crusty.

his garage is small, but heres a full shot from when he bought it

 

Nice. What is the seller asking for it?

 

Looks nice. Hope you guys can get rid of the crusty!
