Some before and after aluminum polishing I'm trying.

Just realized I've been a licensed motorcyclist for almost 11 years now. Times flies. Some time spent bike less but that's alright. Thanks to everyone here who's helped me on this journey of wrenching and riding. Hope you all have a great season!

Going to be trailering my bike down towards niagra falls next week for a visit with some relatives and a weekend with my son. Should be a good time.

Well spent the Victoria Day long weekend down in southern Ontario. Trailered the bike down and put a couple hundred kilometres on it cruising all around with my cousin and uncle. Did the niagra parkway and cruised from Saint Catharines down to Fort Erie and port colbirn area. Nice area to ride and the weather was beautiful. Had a good time with my son and visiting family. Big bbq on Sunday. All in all very good time.

Summer vacation with the boy and the family in the USA. Enjoying the hot weather. I am bike less for a few weeks since I don't trailer it down here. When I get back up north though I've got a wrapped header and shorty pipe to install and a 7" daymaker led headlight. Snazzy.

Got my snazzy new led headlight on. What a difference. thanks Amazon and your Chinese knock off stuff.

Yesterday our shift got cancelled. So I started cleaning the basement. And found my header and shorty exhaust I bought for my bike. So cleaning took a back seat and I installed my wrapped header with the shorty pipe and now have one snarly little 250. Lol. Sounds a lot like an atv now. I like it. Slightly abnoxious but not too bad.

Bought myself a new winter project. 1981-2? It175. Should be fun.

Well, the snow that fell today convinced me to winterized the bike and park it in the basement. Good season of riding.

Cold weather is starting to gather around. Solid below freezing most nights lately. Gonna start ripping into the dirt bike shortly (hunting season is still on so that takes my priority for now)

The SR has a few little things I'd like to do as well. Fork seals are leaking so that might be in the works. Anyone have any suggestions on that job? I'm mechanically inept-ish so am I looking at something that'll scare me? I'll YouTube a bit for the general idea but hearing any stories would help.
