What did you do to your bike today?

[madmax-im]

That white bike on the end is a Honda TransAlp...

[DiverRay]

Hey, look at the wheels! It's a Japanese bike, so it COULD be a Martini, just not a Yamaha. Did they do Honda or Suzuki's?

Sorry, color, paint scheme and angle of pic caught me off guard.

"Far right of the pic.....I do have to wonder who would have an XS1100 Martini on this side of the pond."

That's not a Martini, mate!




This is a Martini.

So far, I haven't been able to detect anyone in the US or Canada with one. Anyone have any more info?

Runnin' again

Cleaned and di-electric greased all electrical connections, removed the airbox and re-aligned the airbox-to-carb boots, tightened up the clamps and took a heat gun to them in an attempt to reform them to the proper shape (PO had them on wrong, probably when he started an airbox fire and melted the PCV manifold inside). I then installed a new battery ,started Galaxy and blew out 18 months of cobwebs. I removed the exhaust system and gave it a fresh coat of VHT silver ceramic paint. She now starts better than ever! Planning on taking her to Corbin here in Ca. to get the seat redone to alleviate the butt burn and lower said skinny butt closer to the pavement.

Okie lookin' happy again, as I'm sure you are!

Got Okie all back together. Actually rode in to work today.....

Pics from Sunday when I finished......

I picked up an '81 LH after the SE rally. Last week, I rolled it in the garage and dropped the carbs in the ultrasonic cleaner. Sunday, reassembled them and hit the starter. The sweet, sweet sound of success.

Nice pic. of some classic bikes. Far right of the pic.....I do have to wonder who would have an XS1100 Martini on this side of the pond. As most of you already know, that IS my favorite version of the XS1100.

Hi Brant,
Thanks for confirming what I thought was a Martini.

I would also look at the National Cycle Plexifairing

It is on an 80G.
I don't take it off but I do re-adjust and tighten it on occasion.
Good protection for an all day ride

Is that your 78E I see?

What is that windscreen and how do you like it?

Is it easy to take of and put back on?

A break in the monsoon

After the San Jose 100 year flood subsided...
I took the old girl to the 2017 Classic Japanese Motorcycle Club kick-off meeting.

Not the shocks, just lousy seals.

I would rather ride a. Cadillac than a lumber wagon.

Like I said, I look to you for how to rescue anything that's broken. That said, sometimes I'd rather get something new. Rock on!
