I was recently reunited with an old friend from 20 odd years ago. Today I rode to his home to see his lovely Rally 200 project which is coming along very nicely (I know, useless without pictures etc..). I then took the long way home.
I will have a new riding partner next year, this makes me happy. |

Started to ride to L.A. on the Street Glide and had Check Engine Light come on about 20 miles out. Turned around and called my friends saying I wouldnt be making the trip. Did some diags and got error codes.
Re-Waxed the restored P in preparation for its first long-ish ride tomorrow. Still starts a bit hard but its a fresh engine but now runs very strong. Just for grins, I kicked over the Rally that has been sitting for months and believe it or dont, 1st kick.. Sure do wish the former owner had not butchered the body and cowls, otherwise I would completely trick that paint job back to orig looking style. |

Rally200 Engine
Purched w/the help of Scooter Marc a partial Rally engine. I plan on getting my Rally back on the road with these cases and still have a plan to get another engine built out of the old (fingers crossed).
Also thanks Jim H. for the info... http://scoot.net/classifieds/forsale.html?id=32454 |
