    It's alive... again

    After a bad experience with starting the xj1100 up and having the engine blow up at 2000rpm this spring, I finally have got the motor replaced. Started it up and got it idling properly last night.

    now i just have to tidy up some wiring, put the air filters on, the side covers on, replace the speedo, replace the mirrors, replace the cam chain (should have done it before i put the engine in, i know) and it should be ready for the road. i hope.

      If nobody minds seeing my horribly messy garage, i'll take some tonite. it is still in a few pieces, but that doesn't matter too much.

        What we mind... is the people that have incredibly meticulous garages..... Those people are SICK!!! Just leave a "Where's Waldo" doll hidden somewhere so we'll have to look at your stuff for hours... lol

        Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.

        You can live to be 100, as long as you give up everything that would make you want to live to be 100!

          PS the oil spot under the 750 is not a leak, just a leaky oil drain pan as i just changed the oil.
