"Ineptitude," I resemble that!Hi marty,
although I can proudly match any other rider's ineptitude, I'd have to be attending VYR to qualify for the award, eh?

My Eleven Special has a bit of a dent in the tank from my knee. You have to be careful about what parts of your body you place under a falling bike!"Ineptitude," I resemble that!
Lol! I've never been so good at procrastinating in my whole life, I start on garage reorganization. I can’t see the forest through the trees. Four XS650s and three XS1100s and only one bike running. I envy those of you getting it done and I want to be more like you.
I hear what your talking about!Lol! I've never been so good at procrastinating in my whole life
Its just sad that I didn't even ride this fall
You do much better !

I guess we all have our cross to bear. I do believe that riding a motorcycle is good for the soul. To a similar degree, so is working on one. Unfortunately, in this life, other responsibilities come first. Still, I think I have a lot of room for improvement in all of the above.I hear what your talking about!
Looking fine!
True enough Marty. My daughter's wedding was Friday with family party yesterday. Up until this afternoon I have been busy working (and paying for) the Big Day. Happy to report all went very well and now I am looking at all the MC projects I have been putting off. The Xs650 is running great so I think I will pivot to the KZ400 or maybe, the cop bike that has been my nemesis for three years.I guess we all have our cross to bear.

After 3 hrs of wiring up new ballasts and changing fluorescent bulbs (the ones I had were the same ones that Thomas Edison had in his shop while he invented the light bulb) Since I can now see in the dark I got a little something done today. Made tabs for the Chinky Shock and bent the main support hoop for the monoshock suspension. Much simpler than the Dog Bone/Triangle Pivot type I did on the last build. Tomorrow I`ll make upright supports for the monoshock hoop, set the ride height, bevel the edges and tack weld it in place. Then I`ll get started on bending the rear frame tubes that tie it all in to the main center tube. Then all the frame gussets, seat hoop and supports, motor and tank mounts and the "list" never ends.
