Well I completed my 250 mile ride home with the bike yesterday... quite a trip in hot weather. Handling was much like I had imagined, and I filled it with the luggage we brought with us to give it the feel of having a person in it. Made a big difference.
Now to work on the little things that bothered me. Carbs need cleaning and adjustment, a replacement windshield on the car (cracked on both corners), some adjustments to be made to the center sidecar attachment, then some touchup paint here and there, and finally some new tires.
New photos will be posted for the before shots... then after shots once the work has been completed.
Thanks for all the comments.
I may be selling her after I have played with her a while and fixed the defects I mentioned, so if you would be interested, let me know. (The wife isn't real thrilled with it...
she wanted a TRIKE so I may have to change bikes again... but we'll see what she thinks after the mods and tuning are completed.)
The nice thing about this 1983 bike is everything works! They sure knew how to build them back then.
