I got a bit sidetracked once the wife left, and wondered if it might still run after all this time? Down to Batteries Plus, and soon came home with a new battery. Then drained the gas, oil, changed plugs, new fuel, fuel line, filter, etc..... and with a shot of starting fuid, the darn bike fired up and ran! After a bit of tuning, and tweaking it even went for a short ride. (not long without plates!!)
Got back home and washed and waxed her. Went for new plates today, and now it's just getting a few maintenance items done like a new camshaft belt, rear tire, brakes, etc. and hopefully she'll be ready for another summer of rides! This old Goldwing is a 1976 GL1000 LTD, with around 39,000 miles, but still feels great after 33 yrs.! Not sure why I've ignored her for the last 8 yrs.??
