That Not Good.

Yeah, a thrown rod is never a cause for celebration, but I simply bought a low mile 1200 motor, so the swap will be quick. Once I saw the destruction inside the motor, I stepped back, priced a Harley crank assembly, asked my shop about the cost of rebuilding the crank assembly in the bike, and said fuggit.

Every time I check this thread I think, "these guys are killin me over here!!11!!". But I have been doing some riding lately of a slightly different sort and I feel the need to share.

This pic from a rest stop up on the hill, taking a sip from a bottle of schnapps and enjoying the scenery.





I've got most of the parts for the beemer gathered and am in the middle of putting it all together. Tire, fork seals, brakes and some misc. small stuff. I'll be riding the bike really soon.

I miss snowmobiling.

Snowmobiling was something I definitely enjoyed back in Ohio.

Bought a GL 1500 last fall with almost 200,000k on it
cause I've always wanted one. Spent the winter chasing
a few things and doing basic service.
Not insured yet but put a few k on in our little village.
Won't need earplugs to ride this house!
Pick is from last fall when I brought it home.

Interesting to see the Yamaha infestation that's starting to creep up around here...
