Cycle Gear offers a discount on one-day International Motorcycle Show (IMS) tickets

Good morning, handful of readers and bots!


Just got an e-mail from Cycle Gear.  As one of the sponsors of the IMS, they are offering four dollar off ticket codes for the Long Beach International Motorcycle Show 17-19 November.


Go to the IMS site and enter CG18 for $4 off admission, and when you get there, say "hello" to the CMA'ers working the helmet and gear check.  I'll be there Saturday morning with my chapter from San Diego.  Hope to meet you then!

The Long Beach Progressive International Motorcycle Show is one month away!

Wow, is this year flying by!

I just realized "our" shift at the free gear check at the Progressive International Motorcycle Show (or IMS) is one month away.  The IMS is a great event, and you can learn much more about it here. Long Beach is one of the sites where the Christian Motorcyclists Association (CMA) does free gear check.  The pictures on the website are from the Long Beach IMS Gear Check with one of our awesome Lady CMA's featured.

Huge show, lots to do including test rides, and in beautiful SOCAL.

I'll be at the gear check booth Saturday AM, look for But!

A Couple of Quick Updates

Working on the bikes, prepping the 1986 Connie for sale plus checking what might be my options with the 1974 Honda CB750.  Odds are I'm going to sell it too-while I'd love to build a bobber or trike with it, the time and funds to do that right aren't going to be available for atleast 6 months and maybe more like two years.

Riding the 1994 Connie prior to a massive service on it (all fluids, test mount bodywork and prep for paint) and the Harley, so I'm still in the wind.

May have sold the 1986 Kawasaki Concours

Yesterday I began exchanging texts with a gentleman interested in my 1986 Connie.

After a few questions and some explanation from him on why he might wait but is interested, we reached a good price and a timeline to likely sell the bike the first week of November.

And while I listed it for more, he is giving me the same amount I paid for the replacement 1994!
