While out on a ride Saturday I spotted this and had to stop for a pic. I'll bet the ride is pretty breezy! Imagine being in this thing and getting plowed into by a Suburban or Ram.

i love those habit hamburgers!!!!!!   wish they were here in tenn !!

i know this may sound odd, but how far over does the bike lean on the side stand?? it could have a bent or shorter side stand. i have seen several older bikes lean really at a precipitous angle almost falling over. set up straight and see if it stops

thanks guys  

i live here in east tennessee close to deals gap. just had a storm and cold front move thru and the rain should be gone by early saturday. forecast looks like perfect riding weather all week. sunny and lower 70s all week. gonna try to get up maybe wednesday, unfortunately have to bury my dad on monday. 

ditch the vacuum petcock!!!!

staying at Redondo brings back a lot of good memories!! I was based at El Toro in the late 70s and early 80s. I wore those streets out on my brand-new Kawasaki gpz1100. Racked up a few thousand miles in a short time. At 63 i still wear the streets out on one of my numerous bikes, (my fave) rz350   I'm in that area often since most of my flights start in LAX.

Dang!!    I just stayed at that Sonesta hotel 2 days ago!!! Cant believe I missed that by just a week. I ate the Cantina Mexican restaurant at the pier. Absolutely love that area.

looks a lot like my 82 gs1100e seat.

may have hairline cracks in intake manifold. one of my bikes had the same issue  

do you by chance have a rusty frame issue? very common with Tacoma's in salty environment or where they salt the roads in winter. causes all kind of ground issues and electrical gremlins!!     

hopefully you found what you needed on the tacoma world website !?!?!?!o

tacomaworld.com
everything you need to know. the website normally knows about stuff before toyota does!!  

wrong front brake reservoir, looks like the front wheel is the wrong size, headlight ears don't look right, seat strap looks like poop, braded front brake line wasn't factory, don't remember if the rear brake pedal came painted black??

i know you have probably looked already, but is all the ceramic still on the plug?? that ceramic is really hard and could cause some issues!!
