Friday the 13th September 2013

Another Friday the 13th with stops at Steve's in Brantford and the Boston Baptist Church to see Pastor Peter Lamont again

The blue 1200 is his

The regulars: Steve, Jimmy, Ricker, Gary, Sean and myself were there

There was a huge turnout despite the cold temps

I have everything taped off and covered up in preparation for forming the seat portion of the plug

No matter how carefully everything is covered up there will still be plaster everywhere

Building the Tail in the Garage

I finally started working on the tail in the garage where I can fiberglass it

If I fiberglass in the house I will be divorced

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
