Done and done. First adjustment still had a little play that showed while riding. One more small adjustment and it seems good now. Nice fluid side to side steering, but no more play or shuddering while braking. Thanks!

Steering Head Nut

So the steering head nut has come loose on Audrey's P200 again. Its got a wicked shimmy because of the play. I see that some people use a specialized hook spanner or something.

Hopefully Riding Soon..

Hey all! Been forever and the ground is looking clean-ish. I was a bad scooter owner this winter. Forgot to put fuel stabilizer in and forgot to pull our batteries. It's probably not a big issue, but I want to get them cleared up a bit. Some of you guys were already out and about this year?

Angelo's sandcast cb750?

I remember Angelo saying he wanted one of these if he could get his hands on one.. This one seems fairly desirable! Wowza! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-CB/331120055291?_trksid=p2050601.m2372&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D207%26meid%3D4614109138628440839%26pid%3D10...

Smallframe in Petrolicious Episode

Spotted a smallframe at 2:58 in the latest Petrolicious. Also, this episode is about a cool BMW R75/5. I love those boxer twins! http://youtu.be/HcAVp3299Cw

So I'm going to assume South side Italian Centre at 1pm is the final plan.. Unless anyone else speaks up, John's suggestion is a go.

I wish I had 12v.. 6v is a joke at night, I don't want to ride by myself at night as my headlight is SOO dim. I'm going to convert when I decide to do an overhaul, but thats going to end up being a little pricy all together!

When our hot water heater decided to die, this is what I want to get. I've wanted one for a while. No longer will you have to wait half an hour to get hot water again!

I'm no expert. But if you do end up pulling it apart possibly check the float needle. I'm not sure of how the lammy carbs are, but possibly the float height is out of spec? Just guesses on my part.

I've got about 98% of it off, but the last little bit is not budging.. I got a little bit using a razor and WD40 being EXTREMLY careful not to mark the sealing surface,...
