Earlier in the week, Stu went through our 1976 Honda Gold Wing from stem to stern. Part of the work was to swap in a Comstar rim (and tubeless tire) for the original gold anodized rear spoke wheel (and tube tire).
Photo is mid-swap.
Friday we drove from our home to scenic Needles, California. Hotter than Hades almost...97.
Saturday, the Vintage Japanese Bike club gathered in Topock before setting out for the ride through the hills to Oatman, Az, then on to Kingman Az for lunch. We stopped at the Route 66 museum in Kingman for the Tour El Grande, had lunch, then back to the motel in Needles. Since it was over 100 in Needles, with the usual Mohave Desert 25-40 mph winds, we headed home that afternoon. We got home at 10:30 pm Saturday night...over 650 miles in two days on a 42 year old machine. Pretty good for us old folks :)
