Well here it is, my first blog!  I wanted to document the thoughts and everyday junk in my head whether it be work, life, or working on motorcycles or other items with my tools.

Right now in the garage there is a 1999 Honda ACE tourer, a 1972 BMW R75/5, a 1976 MotoGuzzi T3, a snapper riding mower and a 1980 Honda Twinstar CM200.

I will chronicle the work I hope to do on the equipment when I find the time, as I am working full time and trying to complete a 2 year degree.  I would love more time to ride but that is just not happening.

Soooo, to the bikes,  Right now I am working on the 76 Guzzi that was found in a barn here in Kentucky and bought by a friend of mine.  I traded a running K75c for it and have been working on the bike when I can.  I have it running and am trying to get the linked brakes sorted out.  Seems that I can't get good pressure on the front right brake.  I have replaced the master cylinder and lines but still not getting a "tight" handle.  So last night I took the caliper loose and raised it up the master to see if the air will come out.

So I will let you know.
