I got the call from the shop last night about my tires. This morning I
dragged my boy into the shop along with the wheels to get them mounted.
by 11 I was back at home and mounting the wheels on the bike. by noon I was
chasing the dog around the yard on my '71 moto guzzi Ambassador.
The whitewalls really put the cherry on top of that dessert.
I rode off to work.
What went wrong:
The speedo lunched itself in the firt mile. A quick whine and then the
needle snapped. oops. looks like I get to send it to Palo Alto speedo
someday.
I seem to have done something wrong when I replaced the seal in the gas cap.
I now have some nasty gas stains on my fresh painted tank. ANyone got one of
those leather bibs for a gast tank? I gotta cover some nasty.
The forks seem to be out of alignment. Not bad. just annoying. like a
steering wheel on crooked.
The most worrisome is that the clutch slips. I pray it is just some gear oil
on the plate from when I pressurised the gearbox to get the clutch plunger
out. But I worry that it is a bad main seal.
Still it is an awesome ride.
