And so it begins



I am currently cleaning space out in the garage so that I can layout the parts to my 1980 Yamaha xs1100 Special. I bought it in August and have ridden it around this fall, but an oil leak and years of dirt, oil and road grim have taken their toll on the bike.

The plan is to strip the bike down, clean it up, bead blast it, paint it from the frame up and reassemble it. It is a daunting task and frankly, I am a bit nervous to start my first rebuild. But I have experience to gain and around $2000 to lose. So here we go.

Woohoo!
