As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

Went for another ride today...weather is about 50F. Engine needed some cleaning so I hit the wash rack and pressure sprayed her after using engine cleaner; she started right up!

This spot is near my apartment complex and is a beautiful sight to see on a clear day.

Dang Ed, someone took your side cover.

I shipped them off to a member here...for free. I didn't want to paint them and I kept hitting them whenever I was moving the bike in my garage. I ended up cracking the left side.

Thinking about getting some steel plates made just to cover up both sides. I'm having the oil pan drain plug modified with a steel insert...MrBill suggested it and I think it's a good idea.

Very excited about the transformation going on with my bike at the moment.

Haven't posted any pics of the assignment I am on at Holloman. After all, this thread is suppose to be about my job...and riding while here.

I had some minor things to do at my workcenter. Lots of XB3 items that needed to be added to our program's Bench Stock--made it a point to have a nice backdrop. Did you notice I swapped the seat out?

Cold Morning

Cold Morning

It is the coldest morning in the past 3 weeks of riding: 39F

I'll bundle up pretty good; glad I brought her in my apartment last night--she does not like cold starts when she is left outside all night. (I've spoiled her)

Didn't even try to Accelerate that Fast...

I looked down at my Tach on this morning's cold ride (because MrBill fixed it during the pipes/Shocks install) and see that I hit 8K+/5th gear on the 6 mile straight-away to work.

Man, do I need to get that fork brace from:

Still trying to determine which set up I want for the 530 conversion.

Need to get that speedo fixed now. Cops love to give tickets on that part of 70 out to the airbase.

Yep, you're right Bill...they are out there. Those cagers on that road are going 65+. I'm not flying past them...just gradually passing them.

They can hear my pipe though...and I checked my oil pan/side stand and the leak is gone!

That would be an interesting photo.

You know, I can't believe some of the statements I make about my bike Redman--you got me!

Thanks for reading my thread! :D

Ordered the 530 Conversion from Z1 and also the Fork Brace. I'm not in a rush to install the chain but the Fork Brace should be pretty easy to put on.

Wow Ed, you are really dumping some money into your motorcycle. That's good to see, your motorcycle is really starting to come around. Looking good keep it up.

I'm making decent money out here and all my bills are getting paid. Finally! I can spend money on me for a change. I'm still helping out my kids who are leading their own lives so I am thankful for having a job.

Thanks for dropping by.

Yup that be the place. Everything still looking good for the ride. Might be a bit more windy then some would like. See what Friday says.

Earth Day Run post-poned. Wind Advisory in southern NM.

At least I was able to install my Fork Brace and do an Oil Change. Since I had the wrong filter spring installed, I had to R2 it and change the oil in the process. The oil filter wasn't too bad so I didn't install the last one I have. The oil change was done first thing this morning.

It's an overcast Sunday so just kicking back watching the NBA Playoffs.
