Got our 1st snow fall yesterday 😒Oh well... reliving about 40 years ago, only good thing about that.

Queen Mary 2, in 2006, biggest ship at the time, then a few others in the past few years.

I would add oil. If its supposed to be warmed up then thats what i'd go by.

So my "ATC" bud is looking at possibly getting this 1982 i sent him online. Looks really good, but not all original & left fender is a little rough.

Pretty sure the tanks are the same as the 200, but not 100% sure. I know that black wider gas cap started in 83 tho.

Ignore the Honda sticker, looks like an 83 or newer 185-200 tank.

The ole 66.

84 BR for sale couple hours from here.

I would but i dont do 'e transfers'... 😮

Interesting...

Naw he's not used to hard work like my wheeler bud in the other pic lol was 3 of us on Sunday. All 3 of us went to the same elementary school in the 70s.... Yea thats kindling buddies ex g/f bought, they split up after 12 years so thats why we cleaned out all the wood he got this summer as the house already sold 😫

Too old for all this hand bombing!

Few more...

OK i'll bump this...seeing how my back is wrote off from all the wood movement, & not done yet 😅😵 Bought 2 cords in May, then the rest is all free wood i picked up, the last bit was my buddies both to his house & mine,

Maybe i missed it but you say its LH threads? So the Die you ordered is also LH?

Oh i should ad, buddy i met once said when you leave the key on for a few seconds before cranking (when engine is cold) it started easier/faster.

Yea keeps the carb from icing up, i imagine they may have just put it on all machines to save assembly costs. Unless its a machine that was originally sold way up north 😅

Yea ive done it to a 400ESP. Might not look as smooth after, but works the same.

Geez i always thought it was the Beach Boys who did that 😮

Hehe...welcome to my world 😛 If you know ahead of time its going to be like that, put some cardboard over your windshield the night before 😉

Geez... too much to go thru, too many to list. Fav song is Hello Goodbye, I have a Rickenbacker 4001 similar to this one, tho i play with my fingers & a pick.

Funny you say that, the 84 i had for a little bit had the fork bent for 3rd gear in it 😆

When mine did the 'grind' noise it was low on oil as i was not checking it right. My experience, not saying yours 'isnt' bad, but mine did the same thing a couple times in close to 8 years after i had changed the oil, it was low only. How many miles/kms on it?

I doubt they are worse than any other machine that old. If you want it bad enough, & you may not get another chance to own one, just get it IMO. Any issue would be worth it.
