My bike…1974

[shinyribs]

I'll keep an eye out for you. We'll be in a white tent with a Roanoke Cycle Sports sign. My gf has light blue hair at the moment. You'll see a red Triumph and a blue and red Champion framed tracker there.

Hope we bump into each other!

My condolences on the bike.

Ill look for you then. Our local club couldn't get a tent this year, but they'll be driving around in a mobile show golf cart with our tshirts and bandanas and other merchandise for sale. :)

The Eagle has landed....row C, Booth 16.

Crys and I just got finished eating some soup and now we're chilling on top of the sleeping bags checking out the stars. Life is good.

Missed you today, you were walking around. Your buddy wanted me to get a pic to help sell your bike...

[shinyribs]

Haha! You rascal. It was nice to finally meet, Mark. Have fun and be safe traveling home.

[MarkPBG]

Good to finally meet someone from the board! Your bike looks better in person. Can't wait to start on my custom.

Got it back from the shop today. Head stem bearings, swing arm bushings, wiring harness, Hondaman ignition switch saver relay, Hondaman starter button saver relay, headlight power relay done. All that is left is new coils (bike has 5 ohm, dyna s should have 3 ohm, these run HOT), tires (going with Avon AM26), gauges, and an oil change and this bike is as good as brand new! Can't wait. :)
Going to a local guy tomorrow, may have my cafe project parts to start. Will update, with pics if it happens. :)
Barber Vintage Festival was AWESOME. We had over 25 people from 3 motorcycle clubs in our area attend! Everyone talked about camping together next year. Should be MORE awesome!
After Barber one night, we attended a Rave/Promo Party/Concert thrown by some guys from Zero Skateboards. Punk Rock band, fireworks shot into the crowd, skaters behind the crowd doing their thing on the half pipe, clear beer by the keg, and the guys from Zero climbing up on the roof to throw promo decks out into the crowd, Nearly everyone got one. Oh, and there were bikes in the garage, the living room, and all up and down the street. Wheelees and stoppies were done, and it was all good. :)

Here's a few pics....I have over a thousand MORE to go through, maybe I have another 10-15 good ones. That's not a bad ratio. :)

One of the Brough bikes that were on display, think they had 3 or 4 at that tent.

Head stem bearing were the problem causing the front end instability! It used to begin a slight wobble at 80MPH and get worse until by 120MPH you didn't want to relax your death grip on the bars. Now it's smooth all the way to top end! No more wobble, no more instability. If you have this problem and your spokes are adjusted, your rims balanced and trued, and your tires good, CHECK the head stem bearings...or better yet replace them if they're really old.

So, Sunday our vintage bike club is meeting downtown, where our February show is going to be held, to be photographed by a national bike magazine! We'll be doing static shots and riding shots along Flagler Drive at the West Palm Beach waterfront. This South Florida vintage motorcycle scene is blowing up, BIG TIME! There are now six clubs with over 50 members each, and at least three of us are working together to put on regular group shows. If you're anywhere between Hobe Sound and Key West, there's likely a monthly meet for you to attend now! :) More info to come, and hopefully…pics!
