Rode to Ottawa

My buddy Ron invited Lou and I to ride with him and his dog,  Mia on what turned out to be a rainy day.  We stayed dry until the ride home, but it could have been much worse.

Mia seemed to enjoy the ride, in Ron's side car rig.  They camped overnight a couple of nights and we had a nice day trip.

New chain and sprockets

The previous owner had installed a 17 tooth front sprocket which was still in good shape, but the chain had two master links and was badly stretched.  I purchased JT sprockets from Dennis Kirk and a 100 link JT x-ring chain from an eBay seller.  I had to get a clip master link because the chain came with a rivet master.  Gearing is still 17/40.

I trimmed the extra tabs off of the swingarm, remnants from the chain guard which has gone missing.
