Woke up to a little corn beef and eggs with a side of black coffee and toast. Cruised over to Back to the 50’s car show for some swap meet action. Kind of a dead scene considering it was Sunday. I did see this gem of a Gasser parked somewhere just off the beaten path. I couldnt pass up getting a quick picture.
From there I went home and got out the bike. Took a ride over to the Blind Lizard cycle rally in Minneapolis to catch up with CT. Reinhart came limping in on his Triumph. Points were well beyond useless. Pretty Rick and the Monk happened to be in the crowd and decided to do the Minnesota thing and come over and get his points readjusted. After a little file action and a few swift kicks, the salty dog was up and running on two cylinders again. New points are being installed as I type.
Came home, napped for a hour, ate a sub, went back to bed. All in all – a good fathers day.

Gotta love that eBay. Picked up this Wagner style brake setup complete with a ratchet top mounting bracket. It’s even got the switch and line still attached. All in perfect working order for $15 bucks. Sure beats $65+ for something new. It’s gonna be a busy winter in the Speed Club garage. 3 cycle builds lined up and even including a little propane heat action!

So here it is, my Lepera seat. This things been sitting on my shelf for a year just waiting to see some action. I gt it last year for a steal at $45 beans. Last year I was running one of those cheapo $30 eBay seats. It did the job on the cheap but definitely took its toll. This year I’ve got a couple longer trips planned. Hopefully, this seat will keep my ass comfy for just a few miles more.
