Bought Frank Thomas Aqua jacket at Silver HJC helmet (used) for mi amiga
Really cool Frank Thomas armored textile jacket. Moto-ed to Moraga and got screaming deal on both – $45 cash!
Bungy corded jacket onto seat and helmet on arm, had gone there to buy a tank bag, but guy sold it out under me.

New fuel line clamp
Installed fuel line clamp at the carburetors. That’s a relief. Had been driving without one.

NorCal Morgan Territories yesterday! Gorgeous loop
A riddle for you. Two twins riding two twins and an E.
So anyway… three of us went on this 86 mile loop yesterday out of Oakland, CA. Mid 60s Degree F (15 + degrees C for you other lot). I was hot most of trip.
Perfect riding weather. My bike made the whole trip. Much smoother shifting just after oil change, and my low 2500-2400 rpm stumble uphill is pretty much gone!
Morgan Territories is like escaping to a whole other world out here…
We went the long way round Mt Diablo.
Start of trip more or less. Redwood / Pinehurst back roads thru the Redwoods out of Oakland towards Moraga
Windy single track road for 7 miles! Brilliant.
At regional park parking lot. Felt like I was in the wild west on a cool summer day.
Other bikes: brand new (250 miles) Harley 1200 sportster customized / murdered. The bike sounds very cool and rumbly. (Other) twin on a twin is a HondaMatic CB400A. Cafe racer mod-ed.
I’m from New England – NH – so I was seriously thinking of all the people in the north and east and the bad weather there. I am grateful to get in the warm ride here. Dream for spring and summer.

Oil change day w Tracey
First oil change for Green Magic. Drove up in am. Whole day there. Parts run for both our bikes. I change my mind and scramble to get Wix filter and the hell with the Fram I had. Finished both bikes though! C came up and made us all a great burger dinner

Bike finally back on the road after 5 months
Woot! Bike is running again (bad spark plug wires had me stumped for a long time), and finally solved my battery draining in 3 mile issue as well!
On a 20 mile loop yesterday. It was 60 + F here and sunny but we got a later start.
More trips and pics to come.
First time in a long time I’ve been actually been able to do this.
My bike races crazy on the revs about 6-7K in 2nd or 3rd gear. Ugh I hope it’s not…
(Still getting used to this bike).

I get Green Magic Running!!! Finally after 3 months of no start!
All it was – simply replaced crappy 8mm carbon core wires with brand new 7mm solid copper core spark plug wires that cost $3.01 and I walked to the store to get it!
It fired on first push button. Finally – Success!!!
My text at 4:08pm today: “HOLY F*%#ING SHIT!!!!”
My text the day before:
“I just found something astonishing. I hope this is THE problem. Not sure but gotta fix it first and see…”
mileage: 43,305
