According to the calendar it's Spring. But other than one or two days you'd be hard pressed to believe it. I'vHowever...I did buy a 1982 Magna 750. I hope to keep both but my apartment management may decide otherwise. Backup plan will be to keep it at a friends where they can use it for the Summer. It's time to start posting and there have been a few people who registered. Hopefully we can get this forum going!

I got the Magna Friday and mamaged to get it home between rain showers after an hour and 15 minutes at the registry. The previous owner was kind enough to offer me a ride to the registry which I accepted. However, I forgot that I needed to go home first to get my insurance online through Progressive. Really a great deal, $95 a year for compulsory. After a bus ride home and back to the RMV I was all set. A local agent quoted me $400 for a years coverage. They said they offer increased medical coverage. I have enough medical that I don't see the need for more coverage. That may bite me on the ass someday day. While at the RMV the second time I saw the seller of my Magna there registering his new V Star and he again gave me a ride. Lucky day! Saturday I got to ride dry but the wind gusts were expected to hit 50mph. SO it was a short day. I also learned the hard way that the low fuel light doe not work. Luckily I had just left a friend's house who has a generous gas stash and she was my pit crew. I saw 3 scooters out and about 4 bikes. I wanted to stop and talk with the scooter riders to tell them about this forum but traffic around Stop and Shop made that more frustrating than it was worth. My scooter is stting next to the Honda and still hasn't been started since a full rebuild over the winter. The crank gave out at 10000 kilometers and I replaced the crank, connecting rod, gaskets and went with an 80cc piston since I learned the 100cc pistons are too heavy for the stock cranks and cause failure. Even so I was told that 10000 km on a stock crank is quite good. I hope to get to the scooter this week and get it fired up. Anybody else out there getting ready to ride yet?
