Don't tempt me...



I need a pair of clear lens. Plastic or glass. 3/4" - 1" in diameter. I have no clue where to shop for this.

Just get some plexiglass and a hole saw. Just remove the pilot bit, and cut away.

That's not a bad idea. I thought about that, but had concerns about yellowing.

Finn's? I thought they were your neighbors. 
In European countries the farmers use their tractors like we use our trucks. They will have turn signals, and brake lights, and even passenger seats on them.

My random thought is there does not seem to be much traffic these days. Here, that is.

I took a glance at my gauges while sitting in traffic. Then I realized something was missing. :(

You didn't need them anyway. Runs perfectly fine without them.

Here's a hint: it was there when I started the engine.

Yes I did notice that a key item was missing, you obviously are the victim of a Noid attack.

funny how times have changed.

used to be that you pushed a button to start the car. then you needed a key because you shouldn't be able to start a car with the push of a button. now a push of the button is the newest greatest thing.

sure the fob must be in the vicinity but no key needed is "up-techno".

Well boys (and ladies),  the first blast of winter has arrived and it's time to store away the goldwing.  Only my shed is 500 miles away so it's off to Newfoundland in the morning, lol.   Will post a few pics if I can find my camera.   When I get back, its time to start winter project cb750 "lawless".  The bike started and ran for about 10 seconds a week back so there is hope but its in bad shape.  To be continued.......
most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handelbars to the saddle.
