    Those gold rims look awesome on the ‘89! Glad you’re getting some shop time in, that project looks like fun. Love the subtle upgrades, the T100 brakes on Redee are my favourite parts cause all 3 prior had poor brakes. Having a second set of hardware close at hand on the parts bike must be nice too haha.

    Thanks – it is nice indeed! I broke the air adjust knob for the rear shock – just took the one off the parts bike… I love having it! And the fact that it runs like a champ is even a bigger bonus.

    I’m sure that one knob alone was worth a significant portion of cost of the parts bike.

    LOL – indeed! The tires, rims, brakes, drive gear, rear shock, etc. were just a bonus…

    Went for a nice self isolating ride on the bikes Tuesday with M, while it was nice out. Great to be back out on 2 wheels! Lots of other bikes out. Took the opportunity to get a poser pic in the sunshine!

    Apparently I’ll have to resize the photo. We’ll have to do something about this,…..

    Impatiently waiting…..

    Hard to imagine bike tours, woke up with fresh snow on the ground two days in a row.

    My wife and I decided to freeze my bike fund until Covid eases up…. booooo for being responsible…

    Ok, let’s try this one. I hate resizing photos… I don’t have that kind of patience…

    Got out to the garage today – had to find some lag bolts for a pergola I’ll be putting over the patio during this government conspiracy to put small businesses out of business, exploit government power and control the masses in our new Orwellian Society. Hmmm, I digress….

    I actually found the lags!

    While in there, I cleaned up the mezzanine and started going through the bags of Concours parts to see if I could find the combi meter for the parts bike. Cleaned up another corner of the garage and ended up finding the part! However the previous owner took it completely apart and effed it up big time… WTF??? Well, at least I found a few more parts that I want to transfer over to the old Connie and got some more of the garage cleaned up!

    Woah, I literally pulled “Animal Farm” off the book shelf less than an hour ago before I started cooking dinner. All I had time to read was the blurb on Orwell, and the editors notes/comments on the text.

    The Connie is lookin’ wicked. Get a gold sharpie to colour match the piping on the seat to the rims.

    Good idea!

    When I bought the bike, it was red. Piping worked at the time…

    I’m also thinking of tweaking the rear end, so I can put the 2 up seat back on if needed. Whatever I do, still want it to have that Mad Max look to it!

    Going to start playing with the 77 KZ750 to get it running. Need to put the clubman bars on it and fix the seat (and get it running) to flip it.

    Paused the bike work and built a pergola out back:
