What did you do to your 2T today?

[AAAltered]

Changed the gear lube in the 200

[pdxjim]

Nothing!

But, I did prep a borrowed Honda 919 for our yearly Gold Rush Ride out to eastern Oregon.

Lots of deferred maintenance on this old klunker, so I ... adjusted and lubed the chain, adjusted the clutch, pumped up the tires to 30/32, installed a Battery Tender dongle and handlebar bag (fanny pack) so I can charge my phone and listen to tunes while I ride, installed my Mosko Moto DS saddlebags ... etc.

While doing all this, I noticed the clutch cable is frayed and down to only a few strands at the lever.  I'll call around for a new cable tomorrow, but of course it's doubtful anyone will have one in stock.

I'll probably chance it.  Only about 750 miles an most of it is 2 lane highway.  Only time I gotta use the clutch is starting and stopping 

Lol!  Clutch cable broke about three miles from town on the way out there and I managed to limp it into town with vice grips and cable ties.  The only tools I brought!

I'll post a pic of the repair in a bit

Took the '67 lambretta out to continue break in of new top end. 100 miles more to get to the recommended 300. F'd with the oko on the jet 2oo(spanish lambretta) with mugello alloy kit. Took the rd60 AKA "lil sweet thing" to the corner beeratorium to finish off the day

well seeing as how you asked...
I got it running for the first time in months. My power dynamo ignition fell apart during a ride at the gap with Chuck.
Thanks to Chuck and John at EC they warrantied it. So I loaded up my RD in my truck and headed to see my friend Chuck in Clearwater.
While I was down there Chuck also did some work and got the gold valves and new springs onto the bike as well. And seeing as how it was not dark yet, we did a 520 chain conversion. All that and I was able to spend the day with my friend and learn a lot from the guy who has a tool for everything. No really he does. I am going to get him a shirt that says, "I have a tool for that".

You're going to love the gold valves and new springs. It's going to handle like a whole new motorcycle.

First 2 rides were nice but not on a road I would be able to tell. I can tell when the wheel comes back down in 1st and second, no longer bottoms out.

I am just so happy to get it running again. Chuck also drilled and taped for a steering dampener and told me to order one. So that's next.

Put this up on eBay so I can pay Chuck for my LC head and cylinders:
