Well, I'd been looking for a wrenching bike - something that was close to my 450 that I could practice taking apart and putting back together. I found on Craig's List another CMX450 in a state of disassembly that ran not long ago but developed electrical trouble. Got a very good deal on it and was pleased to bring it home last week. Yay! Of course I have big plans for it but reality will dictate the outcome. Reality also dictates that this will have to wait until after we buy a house and move into some thing with more garage space. Or at least space we can manipulate and integrate the motorcycles into before the garage fills up.
Perhaps this bike will become my custom Saints bike with a black and gold paint job with fleur de lis on either side of the tank. Perhaps it will become an investment that I can resell to contribute to the Honda Magna dream fund. We shall see. I've ordered some parts catalogs to dog ear and mark up. I can at least figure out what the parts might cost for this dream bike. It is always fun to window shop. :-)
I've also discovered a moto maintenance class close to home. I'm going to sign up for that in March. Yay! The class is taught by Jasmine at Bluecreek Art Works. I'm really looking forward to it. When I first learned to ride in the Peace Corps, our six day training class was the MSF BCR class the first three days and the second three days was moto maintenance. I've lost those skills and would like to get them back. This class requires you to bring your own bike so you can actually work on it. Yay! Hubby says I should bring the basketcase bike. Ha!
