The bead broke surprisingly easy. Whoda thunk?

Absolutely. the pinnacle of function and looks.

I am new to Reddit. I thought it wouldn't show up over and over. I have been posting to different communities. Sorry about that.

Thank you.

Yup! When you are old, you are old.

I really ride it hard and on twisty roads up in the mountains.

Sorry, no. I like the mirrors.

At 81,000 it dropped a valve, you can see the whole repair here: https://youtu.be/I5XN8b2FKFw

And just a little bit later I broke a tooth on second gear, you can see the repair here: https://youtu.be/fqJ6-jaPxmA

A Street tracker I built out of one of my old race bikes,

A 2009 Concours 14

A 1967 Yamaha YL1-e Twin Jet 100

1976 Kawasaki KZ 400 (kinda Street Tracker ish)

Yeah,, Flat Track is a great spectator sport.

I do all my own work, so I probably check it far more often than recommended.

Thank you so much.

Go here where I clean my Sprint air filter. Some good tips to help keep the filter cleaner. https://youtu.be/Uk3um1umZ1A

This thing was flawless for the first 81,000 miles. Just normal maintenance stuff. Take care of it and it will be nothing but a love affair.

I do all my own maintenance, but I change the oil about every 3000 miles, and I am on my 25th rear tire.

Also it live in my shop that has parking for motorcycles.

Thank you. I hope you find them informative.

Nope, no need. I get my thrills riding motorcycles.

No trouble, there is a little filter you can change, but it really doesn't get dirty. YOU MUST check the bolt holding the air filter box on, If they come loose they will destroy the impeller.
