Come on Winnie, we are rooting for you.

You know someone that has a spare?

You had a spare, but you sold it.

And she went on to a better life.

I've got more than I can handle with one bike (and a farm) so I'll just stick with that.

Progress has been slow but parts are getting prepped and we should be up and running in time for some cooler weather riding.

[Roady]

Started the Winnie's Mini Redux thread.

[CYBORG]

[Roady]

Gonna do this thang, man!

[Roady]

She's running again after her 17 month "nap."



Update:SOLD to MissouriMike. And I have a dipstick to get rid of. Slight pitting but that's not rust, it's reflections. $10 plus shipping.

[Rat]

Good news.

Hope to see you soon.

Gord

[Greg]

She sounds good enough to make it to the Meet &Greet.

Greg.

[Fred Camper]

Wow, now there is some really good news. Way to go Steve.

[Roady]

Thanks for the encouragement guys. I couldn't have done it without y'all.

So, back on Halloween 2011 I made a list.

1. Install belt covers - DONE
2. Valve adjustment and covers - DONE
3. Flush and fill radiator - DONE
4. Reassemble the forks - DONE
5. Install forks and add gaters and brace - DONE
6. Front wheel and brakes - DONE
7. Finish front end, add Brant's windscreen - DONE
8. Shelter and seat - DONE
9. Oil change - DONE
10. Install sidestand warning light - DONE
11. Ride - and DONE a bunch!

Looks like it's down to Shelter and Seat. The shelter has a new forward hatch cover, I just need to figure out how to get it on there. The emblems are being touched up by my wonderful wife, "The Artist." Seat is being taken care of nicely. I checked in with the Saddlemaker today and we selected the material and did some design discussion. Pretty much leaving it up to him.

I also need to spruce up the back 2/3rd of her from about the rear master back. Dirt, grime, crap and spiderwebs must be removed completely.

Then it's off to renew the insurance and registration.

That'll leave item #11 hanging on the list. Hmmm. I'm still feeling apprehensive about getting back on that "horse." (Re-reading David Hogue's "Proficient Motorcycling" to freshen myself up.)

Steve,take your time,nobody takes off a a full gallop when they "get back on"!
