That bike hurt me a lot. I only had it about a year. I retreated into the comfort, reliability and power of Honda world for many years post!

In 2011 I had healed sufficiently to purchase a Ducati, so once again on the spanners regularly!

Incidentally, I'm up for a new chain and sprocket set soon!

I like the grunt from the current 14/40 setup, so I'll go with that again.

I could go 15/43 I guess.

I run 15/43 on my M1100.  You'd need a longer chain of course.

1969 Commando 750S with twin side pipes . Yellow scrambler.
I rode it out of SF in peak hour, race pattern gearbox on the rhs and on the wrong side of the road. Shipped it, a 73 Bonneville, 2 1000cc Sportsters and a 72 74cu Shovel back to OZ. Toured Northern CA on the Bonnie and a Sportster.

I bought the Bonnie to get around CA. The 750S, one XLH were for mates back home. I kept the other XLH and Shovel. A mate bought the Bonnie. I was into Harleys and the whole thing for awhile. That FX shovel became a custom wide glide. Thats when I started modifying carbs. That 750S would be worth big money now.
Id love an XR or KR 750 now.

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Home with a "no day" which means school possible on Saturday.  However, Mother Nature appears to have other plans. 

Talking about these older bikes, I kind of wish I had kept and finished my CB550 project.  I picked it up non-running for $200.  Put about $150 in it,  had it running, painted the tank, sold it for $600 to make room for the GS1150ES project.
