            New Shock

            Replaced factory shock with a rebuild (CBR600RR).
            Checked Swing Arm Bearings while in there, was fine
            No parts left over, so time for a test ride west of the city.


            Sure is a cushy ride now, might help with the long days Sore Butt Syndrome. 1984 Honda VF1000Fe Interceptor.

                  I went for 3 today !

                  I picked up my big Kawi from the shop - rode it home and out of respect for the new engine let it cool off, and jumped on the GS1100 and took off again.

                  The I asked the wife to put on some long pants and we went out into a beautiful night, and cruised the side streets. Life is good.

                    My wife and I took the 1100 up Island to a little town called Chemainus. Pretty little tourist town. Had lunch on this patio...table of Harley huys came up to me to ask me about my bike...asked "did you restore it yourself"? Hehe... they were a little surprised that it was all stock except for the new pipes. Nice guys and very complimentary about my bike.

                    This is in Cowichan Bay. We live in a beautiful place, that's for sure.
                    This was also the first long ride with the jet kit and new V&H...

                      Played hooky Monday and rode Mulholland Highway in SoCal. Nice ride, beautiful scenery. Rode back on PCH. My ass and back were aching by the end of the trip

                        That bike looks brand new. Is that because it gets garaged for 9 months out of the year?

                          Very nice! I ran across [not literally] a monster water turtle on the way to an interview for grad school while driving the cage. He got a little grumpy at me when I picked him up to move him off the asphalt and tried valiantly to pee on me. I keep finding these turtles and I'm going to start to wonder if I've got another spirit animal.

                              THis evening rode out thru area of blueberry fields, corn fields, and nursery plantations.
                              No turtles for Mr. Lankworthy.
                              But did see this.

                              It stood there the whole time I went past, turned back, did uturn in road, got off bike, got out camera and took pictures.
                              Just staring at me. Probably didn't know what that faceless creature was. (fullface helmet and all).

                              I stood there watching it, and it was watching me.
                              It "hightailed it out of there" when a car came along.

                              .

                              Had 850G for 14 years. Now have GK since 2005.
