A blast from the past. That’s me while riding the 2014 Sheetiron 300. Photo by Bungee Brent.

Back in Perth for the past couple weeks and finally finding some time to work on the ninja 250R that has been sitting around for about 3 years.

A new battery is definitely needed for starters. But the bike wouldn’t fire and idle without starting fluid. Pulled it apart and cleaned the carbs. Now after, the bike couldn't idle without the throttle being pinned. The moment the throttle came off, it would die.

I’m giving one last shot tomorrow with the new battery and see if it will idle. If not, I would have to get someone to work on it..

I’ve successfully resisted buying a phone mount for my bike for 10 years but @Denimhead-0 ’s cool selfies of IH gear on his bike are likely to defeat my resolve.

@motojobobo I bought an Insta360 and returned it. It was too complicated for me Simple phone mount, set it and forget it.

Went for a ride this morning. It’s a beautiful day here in NorCal and the weather was perfect in the AM.

Shit happened last sunday. Blew out rear tire at around 100km/h. Lucky to be in one piece, I was able to keep the bike upright and luckily there wasn't incoming traffic just at that time. Took me several hundred meters to tame the bike which was swerving from lane to lane...

Wow, good that you survived the accident. And in any case, a cool bike. Is that an official license plate?

[injunjack]

@endo
Yes, old original finnish plate to this bike from early 50's. Bike is from 1925...with few upgrades

@injunjack cool bike, glad you are safe

[68degreesorless]

I think my Stator died. Jumped it the night before and died twice on the way to the shop. Out of commission for a bit

At least I got to check out some cool bikes.

Went and tested some bikes today, went in thinking I might buy a 10 year old Street Glide or Heritage, and now think I might be in love with a Fat Bob...Now trying to see if I can stretch the budget, sigh. Any of you ever had one?
