As I often promote, I'm an affiliate marketer for BikeBandit.com. Well, here's a daily deal I have to promote!
They are selling Icon Airmada helmets in a variety of colors for $112.50, which also qualifies you for free shipping. What a bargain! This is 41% off their already good pricing and much lower than most other internet prices.
If you are needing a new helmet, or are thinking about an early Christmas present (say a red or blue large for the author of the motorcycle blog you are currently reading...hint, hint) you should snap this up.
Offer ends at 11:59PM PST today (11/6/2014). Click on one of the Bike Bandit links on this blog if you could-I get a small percentage of sales tracked through this site, and you still get the Daily Deal pricing. We both win. Thanks, and ride safely.

Post 200!
This is a milestone post of a sort. 200 posts into this blog. What I've learned since starting this blog to initially talk about my IA to Iraq in 2008 only to find out blogging from theater was prohibited:
Blogging takes discipline and persistence. There have been long periods without any posts, even if I've been out riding and working on bikes.
Adsense isn't the path to riches. Still awaiting my first $100 check from Google Adsense, but that isn't why I do this.
The Cycle Gear wheel chock posts are the most popular in both pageviews and comments. Otherwise the Sportster oil tank change out post has also been viewed more than any of the other posts.
I still don't know much about fancy layouts, pictures, backgrounds and other features. Not sure that would help much anyway.
It takes a long time to put 100,000 miles on a motorcycle, especially when its only one of multiple bikes ridden and also the bike sits for over two years.
Well, that's it, I'll post more on the restoration of the 1994 Kawasaki Concours soon.

1986 Connie back on the road
Just a quick note to update the 86 Connie electrical gremlin saga. Turns out it was the J-box after all, so now I'm a bit concerned about the one on the 1994. The guys at Poway Motorcycle put a new pigtail on (the automotive one for an H4 bulb works fine) but still no headlight. So the J-box got pulled off, put on the bench and closely inspected. Sure enough the headlight/starter relay was shot so some solder was flowed in there to restore the connection.
Good to go, rode it a bit Saturday and over-all runs great-they also smoothed out the idle and fuel mix a bit.
