Ok, the big red obstruction in the garage needs to turn back into a running motorcycle. After getting the house remodeled/rebuilt and most the stuff moved out of the other house, I can probably spare a few hours to try to resurrect "Miss Swail". About 18 months ago the Concours developed a coolant leak during some unrelated maintenance and then life got in the way of making timely repairs. I am guessing a good once over, an oil change, find and fix the coolant leak, a charge or new battery and fresh gas and hopefully the bike will start. Then a tune-up, and maybe riding? I really like the bike, so having it sit much longer won't be good.
Any tips appreciated-I already have a shopping list for Murph's Kits-mainly maintenance parts, although he has some great "farkles" I've always eyed.

I don't need any accessories, tires or maintenance parts right now (need some repair ones...) but this is a pretty good offer-basically 10% or more "rebate" on top of the usually good prices and discounts at Cycle Gear.

It's Mira Mesa Bike Night time again!
Yep, it's Thursday, so out here in San Diego that means it's time for another Mira Mesa Bike Night. Despite rumors I only go for the Starbucks, I enjoy looking at all the different bikes, meeting riders from local clubs and independents, and just hanging out.
Official (O-Fish-ul for some) start time is 7 PM (1900 for some) but it really doesn't get going until later. With the time change, it will be light out up until the start time probably, and we are expecting yet another rainy weekend in San Diego, so ride tonight to Mira Mesa and enjoy MMBN
I hope to see you there, and will likely try to get a few pictures.
