What did you do on or to your other bike part 2

[Frenchie]

I actually have no idea what caused that... the tire got damaged at (at least) 3 different sections. It was about time to change it but I believe it was properly inflated, and I don't think I rode over any debris. Very strange...

Got a tire tire issue on the interstate and had to have the C14 towed... Planned to go from GA to Anderson, SC... ended up to Anderson's, my neighbor who changes tires 

Hey i think I recognize that Road you're pulled over on! 

Do you head to Anderson often? I graduated high school in that town.

That would have been my first time. I stopped on I-85N right before Commerce, GA (exit 149). The plan was to take I-85 to Anderson, SC and come back down on the back roads.

Blew a fork seal on my Daytona 1200 

The fork stanchion chrome just isn't up to it after 30 years. They were honed a little five years ago but are still a little rough on the seals, replacements wouldn't last long so it's new stanchions for me. That's going to be expensive! 

I don't have a ramp so it's a pulley off some overhead railings for me

I'm fighting a twinge of "maintenance apathy" on my Bonneville.
When she rolled 12k miles, I dutifully pulled the tank, replaced the fuel filter and spark plugs, and checked the valves.
She needed a few shim changes to correct some tight valves, and in the process of the adjustment, despite my best efforts to plug holes in the top of the engine, a tiny camshaft cap alignment dowel fell into the crank case. Took a few days of careful work, and a lot of angst and cursing, but I fished it out with a custom-made magnet tool.

She rolled 24k miles recently. I have the new fuel filter and spark plugs standing by on my work bench to do the job again. Even have a new valve cover gasket. But I am not eager to pop the cover and check the valves again. I adjusted them on the loose side at 12k, hoping that at 24k, they'd be somewhere in the middle of spec.

I keep coming up with excuses... she has a full tank of gas. No sense doing it till she's empty.

Ugh. Just have to get off my duff and do it.

I understand, Mr Gone.

Done that. Had my '52 MG oil filter assembly, an old fashion canister type, removed to fit a spin on conversion. I have been trying to remove a central large screw in oilway for weeks and weeks. I could only bring myself to try for 20 minutes a day after failing miserably for half a day weeks ago. I finally cracked the thread after lots of heat cycles but I had really lost interest, I had to push myself to solve the issue. It had been there 73 years so I can't complain.

[Cormanus]

Watt's that you said, Nachodaddy?

[Gone in 60]

Well, ripped off the band aid.

Pulled the valve cover on the Bonneville, changed the in tank fuel filter, and checked the valves. And, darnit, three exhaust valves are tight. I can swap a shim, and ended up ordered the other two.

Hopefully I don’t drop anything into the engine this time!
