Project

I've been working to rebuild a 1971 Yamaha XS1B. Stripped to the frame it doesn't look like much. Rather time consuming to clean the frame and paint it. I now have rebuilt the fork legs and polished the triple clamp. With tapered bearings the front end is now together. Bit by bit it is coming together. It won't be a show bike but I want it nice. I drive everything I've got, or sell it.
I need to get some yard work done before the weeds get up and hide everything. Branches to pick up and some trash from the winter need to be picked up. I have three dead trees that need to come down. Being a home owner has its drawbacks. Sometimes I envy those in condo land but I wouldn't trade. I'd have to rent a shop and drive to it. Now I can just walk out the door and it's about 50 paces to work.

A friend of mine just finished a beautiful 1972 Yamaha XS2. He put a ton of work into it and it is truly beautiful. The color isn't original, too pretty but looks great. This weekend he is off picking up another project. I should be able to see the new toy tomorrow. Here's a picture of the '72.
Each spring is a treasure. Enjoy it.
