Well, it seems like the long winter is about over. I've got a new (used) seat for the bike this year, a new oil filter bolt, as I think I've wrenched too hard on the old one, I picked a a 17mm brand new one on ebay. Have a new filter and oil ready to go, when it warms up enough to get the bike out of the shed. I was checking the bike out the other day and it looks good after its long sleep. I can't hardly wait! Enough of the cold! Rick

Supposed to hit 50 here too..but with snow & rain on thursday. I need to check the battery too, last fall it was starting a little slow, I'll top off the water, charge it good and try it. Got my fingers crossed!

Well, got my 1980 CX500 running yesterday, went for a quick ride, it started snowing, but just a little. Today I'm changing the oil & filter, spark plugs and put the new to me seat on. Looking good, except I may have to get that new battery. I going to use the contact cleaner today and see if that helps it start better, but I'm pretty sure I need the battery. Its nice today with plenty of sun but windy. 50 degrees so that helps.
