What did you do to your bike today?

[mack]

My bikes

have been put to sleep for the winter, I got my spare motor all torn down and I'm busy cleaning it up and checking the wear and tear with plasti guage. Cases are clean and I've been polishing covers for a couple days now. Heads all clean but still bare,I know the valves are bent, I've got spares. The jugs have been cleaned but still need to be honed. I've ordered a gasket set and found new rings on fleabay, waiting for those. So while I'm waiting it's polishing the covers time.

Great Ranger loaded and ready to go to work with me tomorrow.

It's the slow time of year and I can get it squared away and ready to sell before spring.

Brakes are hanging and carbs need cleaning. The rest is pretty much cosmetic.

Nice to see Great Ranger back to the SPECIAL it originally was!

Because I can

It has been a remarkable season so far as the weather has been very sociable and warmer than normal. The fact that we have had very little wind lately helps for sure. This morning it was -28C an hour after I was at work. So happy to hear you can still ride, sad that I can not.

Thanks Phil It takes a lot of waiting till they look the other way to paint on the carpet I have a friend who finished up a full paint room using up half his 2 car garage...and its been 10 years since he painted so for the cost of $0.00 I got the tank done for free, so he had something to get back into the groove with And my luck he accidentally used the most expensive clear coat he has I still gave him some money to help cover some costs...but it turned out crazy nice...and I can take anything to him right now and he will do it for free. I'm feeling a second project bike coming on lol.....
