Shorinryu Sensei Posted March 28, 2004 Posted March 28, 2004 Shorinryu Sensei, prior to my current bike I had the XS1100 RH Special (1981) shaft drive jobby. Weighed a ton, great in a straight line or on gravel but hated corners at speed, loved that girl, then the Ms's and kids came along and I did the right thing and sold it . Come to think of it (in a purely male chauvinistic way and hopping the one who should be obeyed never reads this) the Ms's now kind of reminds me a little of that bike Your Ms's likes gravel and doesn't take the curves well? My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"
John G Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 Ah. so you've met the Ms's Boy am I going to fry if she ever reads this forum.. Sorry Hun.. They made me do it.. John G Jarrett III Dan, ITF Taekwon-Do
sidekick Posted March 29, 2004 Author Posted March 29, 2004 what type of work or mantenance did/do you do on your bike? I'm finally learning to do some stuff on mine, not that I'm mechanically challenged, it's just that I've never owned a bike or a car before and I'm not used working on 'em. I now can change my oil, spark plugs(hafta take off the tank for two of 'em), and i even shimmed my main carb needles after i put a UNI air filter in. I know that's not really much, but I'm getting better....... slowly
