Non Raining Ride

I had to get the '78 out on this nice sunny day
I have been caught in the rain many times this summer so this was a relief

Really Naked Goldwing


Just over the border at 12:30 AM I needed gas and the filler is under the locked door so this time I had to take the tank completely off
It was a good thing the gas station wasn't busy
The last couple off hours were uneventful and I finally made it home
Yea

Searched at the Border

Apparently we looked a little sketchy so we all got searched at the border
They were probably watching me with binoculars at Hortons as I was taking my bike apart

Broken Tank Lock

It all started going downhill just before we got to the border
After the last toll booth, the little cover over the tank lock broke off and jammed in the lock making it impossible to get into the tank
Unfortunately my passport, wallet and tools were in there and I knew the border security would want to see at least my passport
So ... at the Hortons before the border I had to take the seat off and unbolt the tank so I could reach up under the tank and get at my passport
