My GPz is 9 years gone.  It was a hell of a lot of fun and I got to go 
a lot of places and meet a lot of nice people that I wouldn't have 
without it.
 This wet cold spring has been a non motorcycle one so far.
I did manage to replace the ignition system in my 1970 Triumph.  Its 
still the  "Get home before dark Lucas" .    I put in new coils, 
condensers (capacitors), points, plug wires & plugs.  Replaced the 
worn out Amal carburetor with a new Mikuni.  Might have gotten a 
couple more horse power.   I don't get to massage the "tickler" any 
more.  But also don't have the throttle slide stick open . Its a 20' 
rider not a concourse bike.  I put in a new speedo drive.  I notice it 
is made by Royal Enfield in India.  Most British bikes seemed to run 
the same 400-18 rear wheels so they used the same drive and Smith 
instruments.
A minute or so after opening the petcock, I gave it a couple of pushes 
through with the kick start, set the choke, turned on the ignition 
switch, and was amazed when it fired up 1/2 way through the first 
kick.  It came down to a 900 rpm idle with both cylinders still firing 
when I took the choke off.
I donned a helmet, jacket & gloves and took off up the driveway.  I 
got it out on Rapid Road and twisted the throttle.  I missed the shift 
to 2nd as I tried using my left foot .  I should not have worn 
sneakers as the bottom of the brake pedal was not kind to the top of 
my big toe.  I made several 7 km runs to the end of the road & back.  
I had a large bug eating grin by the time I'd got a smooth shift to 
3rd.
Is Longmire still on.  I miss it and Justified.
