Thanks to everyone for the kind words. I am working on getting a picture up today or tomorrow. We have had rain everyday and little sun. I want you to see what I am so proud of. Took the seat off yesterday to hook up the battery tender and found a new battery with clean terminals. Today I will remove the heel shifter. I got the spacer yesterday.
The sun is out now so no excuses. I am going to ride down to Key West this afternoon and have a beer at Schooner Wharf.
Hey Spanners, I will have to tell you the story about renting a bike in Christchurch and getting a riding lesson from a few of the locals.

Three Mates in NZ
when I was checking in to the City Center Motel in Christchurch, the owner noticed an Iron Butt tee shirt I was wearing and we immediately started talking motorcycles. He had a brand new BMW 1200 GS. He said he and two Mates were going for a ride the next day, and if I wanted to join them he knew where I could rent a bike. Riding in NZ with three locals.......where do I sign? I rented an 1150 GS, and at eight the next morning I met his friends and we were off. They knew every road that posed a challenge, and they knew how to ride them. I rode my own ride and didn't even try to keep up with them. They were wonderful fun loving guys, and I will never forget them. We had lunch in a small town and ended up getting in 300 miles for the day. I am sure I saw some of the best scenery, and roads, NZ has to offer, and it has plenty. One of the best riding days I can remember. I am forever grateful to those guys for taking a complete stranger on their ride, and giving him a riding lesson to boot. Dinner and wine at Cafe Valentino ended a pretty spectacular day in Christchurch.
