New to here, Vancouver canada

#1

Post by magnamat »

Greetings!
Im new here, and looking forward to getting acquainted here.

Here is my 1984 Aspencade...(now semi naked), after I rescued it from a 6-yr nap in a damp leaky shed on Vancouver Island. It was a year long labour of love to get it to the point where I was able to go enjoy it last summer. Previous owner sold the fairing, but I didn't want it anyway still lots to do, but I also need my therapy...lol.
Do do list for this summer, get the new tach, speedo, and fuel gauge working, tired of running out of fuel. Ha ha.

I will be picking brains here. thanks.
