Got the old girl patched up a little more after some electrical issues. New R/R, plugs, and battery seems to have fixed her up and she's peppy as ever. My 2nd cylinder spark plug had burn marks on the white ceramic part, which makes me suspect it wasn't seated fully. The threads in the plug holes are kind of weird on this bike, and 2/3 have both given me trouble whereas 1/4 are easy peasy. It's likely got something to do with the many, many POs and questionable history of this bike. They seem to be better set this time around, since I took things carefully, and the rubber boots on top are all quite close to even in their height above the engine block. #2 especially before was raised... Here's to hoping!
I'm planning a trip down to the US hopefully sometime this summer. It may not pan out, but I'd really like to do it - as I've got some friends down there who I'd like to meet. That being said, if I'm headed down and around between Indiana, Kentucky, and finally up to NY - I wouldn't mind extending my trip and getting to meet people who conveniently fall along the way. Any of you guys live somewhere along or between those lines?
(hardest part of my trip will be getting over the fear that my bike is going to explode on me part way)
