What To Do On A Rainy Weekend

I had planned to do another IBA Saddle Sore 1000 ride this weekend, but with the trashy weather coming off the gulf coast, I decided to cancel. Instead, I did a little tinkering on the Goldwing and also get my little 125 pit bike running.

The GW was the easy part. I did some re-directing of wires for my power socket for my phone and GPS. I also dug under the seat and re-wired my cruise control so it would go over 77 MPH. I can now set it at 80 or 85, which will be great for my cross-country trip through the SW states.

I pulled the tank and carb off the 125. took things apart and cleaned out the carb. got it all put back together and it started up on the third kick after filling the tank. ripped up and down the road a few times just to warm it up and tinker with the pilot. I think I'm going to sell it and see if I can find another 250 to buy.
