Insurance
I am working on insurance for my bike. Since it is a classic and will only be ridden short distances I am getting antique insurance through Hagerty in Michigan. It is cheaper than regular insurance and if someone decides to pickup my baby and walk off with it (easily done....the bike is sooo little..) I can get more than the 500 dollars a regular insurance company would give me. My current insurance company recommended them and they are easy to work with online. http://www.hagerty.com
Today I might polish the chrome on the windshield that originally came with the bike. I may even get a new one. We shall see.....

Vintage bike show thingy....
Determined but scared. I am glad I rode it. Thanks to Hutch and Tim for riding flank and Hutch for the action pix..... The furthest I have ridden the bike...about 20 miles.
Pix w/ solo seat
I took these today after I finished up some chrome cleaning. Not bad....
Already took the solo seat off. Doesn't fit quite right....
Tonight! Chrome!
There is a vintage motorcycle show. I want to ride my dream but it is not legal and I have not been farther than a mile from my house..... I will probably do it. Not sure yet.
She has been running really good lately. I keep the battery on a quick disconnect trickle charger when I don't ride it. I don't think it is getting recharged when I ride. That or something is draining it while it is sitting. Either way the trickle charger solves the problem for now. The electric start works after I clean it, which I have to kind of often..... and by some act of the motorcycle gods, my kick start has worked great for about a week......
Last night after riding her around a bit I decided to try to clean the chrome. I have never attempted this (I just like to get these old things running, I don't really care to make them shiny...) Anyway, I took some steal wool to the rims. I could not believe that well they cleaned up! They actually shine! I will try to get some pictures up today. I also rigged a solo seat on her but after riding for a little bit decided that is needs more adjustment than I want to worry about right now. I am putting the stock seat back on for now. Yeah!
