Nice bike, and welcome Kevin. I had to check my storage unit to make sure nobody stole my bike and cleaned it for a month.

Thanks for the coments, its even cleaner this year thats actully last years pic, have shined a few things up a little more now. I LIKE SHINY THINGS.
Yep new job is good, i actully left the Military Police, and joined the dark side and went to the officer side of the Air force so I am now Second Lieutenant, in the logistics branch, come aug i will be gone for about 10 weeks got to get afew quals to get my captin in. I am actully back in my home town of Winnipeg untill then.
I also bought a ducati about a year ago but held on to the cb as i still love how it looked and i still road it regularly. however last year i put the ducati down and there was not much to pick up so it is in the scrap yard so its back to rideing the cb full time now. |

ya oil burning sorted itself out, still though if i go over about 3000 km on a change it starts using, i just oil break down i guess, it must get a little thiner or something.
never found a cover but made a not to bad one myself, good enough till i can get a hold of one, kinda put my search on hold when i had the other bike but i will start looking again now. |

ya log is good, it has room for lots of movement since it encompasses so much, not like my old trade which was basically a dead end as soon as you went commissioned. |

BTW ,
Kevin , you might want to look into running Diesel oil in your bike as it doesn't break down as fast . Ask smokes what he runs in all his stuff . He'll give the low down . |

Welcome back Kevin. Nice to see someone that's within a couple hundred miles from me. If you look at the frappr map on the front page, I have been the lone dot, landlocked hundreds of miles from the rest of the brood.  |
