This afternoon, after riding to coffee I pulled the plugs.  #1&2 looked a bit rich, #3&4 looked a bit lean.  Turned the air screws out 1/8 turn on 1&2 and in 1/8 turn in on 3&4.  Try it again tomorrow maybe.

So I’m getting quite a bit of white, milky foamy stuff on the underside of the oil filler/dip stick.  I know this indicates water in the crankcase.  What could be the cause?   What might be a remedy?

The bike sat for many, many years.  I drained the oil, new oil and filter.  Could it be residual moisture from its long sleep?   It was very probably put away wet and forgotten. 

I should be there also.

I’ll be riding the CB750 tomorrow.

  I’ve followed Moto GP for decades, even riding to Laguna Seca for at least 10 occasions from early 2 stroke 500’s to the Rossi days of power.
 Marques does appear more at home on the Ducati after a career on Honda. Good to see.

Time for a little funk!

Took the Honda to my son’s house in PoCo this morning to watch the MotoGP.  Man, what a race!!  Marc Márquez is the man!!

The Honda ran a treat.  Had it up to 60mph, or so the speedo said.  It felt like it.  I reckon I’ll be riding it to coffee on Wednesday.

I did the same when I crashed my ‘77 KZ1000.  Dented the tank, mirror, signal, exhaust.  ICBC cut a check a few hundred under the write off threshold, and I repaired all that cosmetic stuff.  The adjuster was quite sympathetic in helping same a classic bike from the scrap/auction sites.

Just went through this.  Bike got knocked over while parked and was technically 'totalled' as the cost to repair or replace the mostly cosmetic parts, was way more than the bike was worth.  However, as there was nothing mechanically wrong with the bike, I came to an agreement with ICBC to keep the bike - untotaled- along with a cash settlement.

Truly always liked John Prine have 3-4 of his cd’s
