"Pistol" Pete Boody was one of the top GL1000 (early GoldWing) restorers and carb rebuilders. He was also a very nice gentleman. Amoung many accomplishments, he restored GoldWing serial #02. Pete passed away a couple years ago and his daughter and son-in-law were tasked with inventorying and...

You can find my build thread on here. I pretty much call it as it is. I did a pretty thorough post with my video on Facebook, so I'll just paste it here: The bike was purchased as a sad warehouse orphan in November 2021. It required a lot of work and additional parts to get it to this point...

Wanted to alert those interested that my friend Patrick Deason is putting on his third Possum Gathering vintage motorcycle show at the Sevierville, TN fairgrounds May 12 & 13. Many, many vintage bikes (and vintage bikers), swap meet areas, and stationary engine show. If you might be interested...

Anyone dealt with this guy http://www.caferacingparts.com/ ? I ordered (and PayPaled) a side cover (in mid-August) for the T150V that I'm rescuing, and not only have not received the part, I don't get email reply nor will he answer his phone anymore.

So, my neighbor bought the junk CX500 from me but I kept the tanks. I have for sale two tanks, both I believe to be for CX500 Deluxe. Don't know how leak-tight they are. Both have substantial rust inside. If I were to keep and use one, would probably pull dents with stud welder, clean with...

Guy that had worked on a crew building decks for us a couple years ago pulls up in front of the house and starts down the drive. I step out the door and ask if I can help him (we are pretty far out and I didn't recognize him right off). He sez he has a bunch of CX parts that he has to move out...

Unless something big happens, Tuesday June 28th will be the last gathering at the Time Warp. But, the bikes will still gather! Last meeting, it was voted to gather at Twisters about 0.7 miles North of the Time Warp at the corner of Central and Quincy. Has a nice parking lot, their food is...

The Possum is coming! Soon to be here! Don't miss this great show. https://www.facebook.com/The-Possum-Mot ... 9428371995

To start the thread. Bought and brought home yesterday. Compression 90 psi on each cylinder after just two kicks. Many things missing. This bike appears to have been kept in the dry, at least in recent years. And, I've yet to find rodent evidence! Already placed many items on my eBay watch...

Update - Although I really don't think much rain will get here before Saturday evening, some people may be traveling to the show, so.... We will be canceling the bike show for this Saturday and using our rain date of October 15. Hope you can still make it on the 15th!!. Just modifying the...

A good friend bought an old 2001 XR100r fr his grandkids to play on. Needed rebuilding so he disassembled it and bought gasket kits and scrounged up some missing/damaged parts. Then, his hands started giving him problems and he can't reassemble it. So, I've brought it all home and started.. But...

We have changed our touring ride to a Spyder. Does anyone know if they are viewed as motorcycles for parking at the festival? I don't recall seeing any there the last two years that we have been.

Ok, maybe Harbor Freight isn't everyone's favorite tool store for tools that really "do it". But, this 110V 8.5 amp tool has1050 ft-lbs breakaway torque, and in just a half dozen uses has me thinking it is The Beast! Kinda heavy and awkward if in tight spaces, but for big tight nuts on axles...

A member of our vintage MC club is putting this on. Already has interest all the way from New Mexico, and several vintage magazines.

October 3rd (rain date Oct 17th) 9am - 2pm @ Lighthouse Christian Church in Powell (North of Knoxville), TN. We expect some great old (maybe some new) machines. Ride or trailer in, we don't care. Good church food and fellowship. Flyer and map are here:

"Back in the day" I traded a too-small-for-me RD250 in on a brandy new '76 RD400 with the cool new cast wheels, front and rear disks, and promised broad power band. I got the Geneva green with Honda CB400F bars. Loved the machine (I had a 24 year-old body then, too) and rode it a lot on...

Here is mom and my RD400 back in ~1978. (and one when we ere a bit younger)

Picked up this turd in Kentucky for a Winter project (appropriate that I should pick it up on the first day of winter). GL1000s I've had are a '77 back in '04, a '78 with '75 motor (the Hunley), a junker '79 that I salvaged a few parts from and still have a few, a '79 that is set up for being...

But for the first time, I have gone through the front brakes on a GL1000 (GoldWing) and in less than half a day have full fist. What changed? Not certain, but I believe that it was a combination of; flushing the lines with brake cleaner followed by compressed air, hooking up the freshly cleaned...
