Shadow Dancing.

Well after a few hours on Monday having Marilyn learn the clutch the motorcycle refused to start. I tried to charge the battery but I think it's really weak. It's going to be a while before we get an other motorcycle session. There are a few things that need to be done before we try again. Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the technology. We have the capability. Better than it was before. Better, stronger, faster ..... Well I hope for far less then six million dollars!











Here is a list of things that need doing:

• We have to lower the bike. Marilyn is on her tippy toes. This does not give her confidence. It's about 2 or 3 inches from being ideal. I ordered lower shocks and we are going to reupholster the seat to lower it a few inches
• We have to fix the cause of the cut off. It could be the battery or the fuel shut off valve or something more
• We have to fix the headlight and turn signals for the state inspection
• The front forks are leaking. I ordered the parts and the garage guys will rebuild the front forks.
• It needs a oil and filter change.
• Evict the mouse that has taken up residence in the air cleaner.
• And a real good clean up.

We ordered the parts to fix all to the problems but we have until spring to get things together. There is no rush. I want Marilyn to take that Motorcycle Safety Course before she rides. We should have the bike together when she completes the course so that she can put the things that she learned into practice.
