today

I'm an AGV guy. My favorite one is my old (12/2000 date of manufacture) Rossi sun and moon helmet. I got it for $60 new in the box back in 2005 or so since it was "expired".

XS650 project

This project got started with a swap meet gas tank and exhaust system last year. The exhaust was in good shape with just a few minor scrapes and dings, but had some serious discoloration on one of the pipes. Discoloration is normal on single wall pipes, and I think it looks neat, but this needed cleaned up a bit.




I used Noxon 7 metal polish to give them a more even look.




I think they look fine on the bike.


I've also been doing some other assembly, the rearsets for one. I still need to make the shift rod for the left side rearset. Rebuilding the carbs will be next.

spring

Still snowing. This is just like it use to be in Indiana, a nice snow at the end of March. At least it doesn't stay long this time of the year.

From this day in 2012...






...and today in 2013. Supposed to snow through the night. Looks like the plow will be going back on the truck tomorrow.
