Almost back on road

14 Jul 2012 20:38

Started on getting the old girl back on the road a few weeks back and on Monday I will get the insurance on her and go for the first spin in a few years with the new jugs that had to be replaced.

My old MAC pipe was chipped and cracked on number 3 and 4 cylinders so I ended up buying a new Vance & Hines from Z1Enterprises and also had to replace a rear wheel bearing.

Looking forward to a nice early evening drive on Monday. Might even get my son to follow me and take out the red car just to see how they compare :-)

Good to see your getting your 650 out again Colin.
Been wondering if you had put her away for an extended storage after getting the red car.
It was a red car that put mine away for a few years.
