Full GARAGE

After the sprag clutch went on the Triumph, the goal was to get the DUB up and running.  Now normally that doesn't take much effort as the Kawi is pretty much bullet proof. Usually it is simply a matter of throwing the battery back in and kicking her over.  Change the oil, check the tire pressure and chain adjustment and your ready to role.  However, the battery gave up the ghost over the winter and the front tire is totally bald.  So getting her road worthy was going to take some parts.  Turned to eBay as usual to source the tire and the battery. No issues there... But having got so used to the comfy riding position of the sprint, the DUBs clip-ons now felt like absolute torture.  So back to eBay to source 7/8'' superbike styled handlebars. Got the new handlebars and grips mounted the other day, BUT broke a mounting screw mounting the throttle.  So now we've got four bikes all sitting in various stages of disrepair.  Not a bad problem to have during a wet BC winter. But its not winter, its the middle of May and 20 degrees Celsius and sunny.
