In 1994, i drove a backroad home I'd never traveled before (or since) and saw this machine parked on the front lawn with a "For Sale" sign on it. I made it a mile before turning around. A half hour later, I owned it, a like new, dealer made CS CA bike with 10k miles, cad plating still on the fasteners, Krausers, original tool kit and a tank bag. A continuing, happy relationship. Even the infamous diode board taking a dump on the way home from AMA Vintage Days made for a happy memory. Brings a smile to my face every time I swing a leg over it.

Proof once again that Airheads never die - they just get new owners!! AND it looks like the future owners are almost ready.

76 R75/6 project off the lift
After 2 1/2 years my R75/6 project is finally off the lift. Have a few more things to do but it is finally ready for some "road work".Looking at some of the other projects, other members have undertaken, mine really wasn't that bad.
This was before:
AND taken today on it's first 110 mile run:
It gets new fluids, a double check carb sync and will be ready for a serious road run. Trail Ridge Road anyone?

The last year of the RS painted in the anniversary colors. Just turned 20,000 miles. She's kept in excellent running condition and of course ridden only on rural roads and sunny days.
Ready for Memorial Day riding and remembering all who have served and are serving our Country!
