    You can get a tool at AutoZone that re-taps and re-threads a Spark Plug Hole.

    It's very similar to the HeliCoil; but inserts a whole sleeve; not just the threads.

    I always liked those early Concourses, and may still buy one some day. My main ride at the moment is a 1978 BMW R80/7. The 550 Maxim is getting ready for a full strip-down and reconditioning...

    I'd like to find a Yamaha Venture Royale that's been tucked-away for a few years and bring it in to RickCoMatics Restoration Shed and make it go again in my image.

    I'd pull those Cams and send them out to Iskendarian Racing Cams for hardening and a little performance grind on 'em.

    Paint the whole bike Royal Plum Mist.

    Play with all the accessories and get it back to like new and then pack a lunch and ride that puppie someplace far away and back.

    Got a wad of bikes.
    Rotate through them daily. None of them usually go a week without me piloting them at least for a 20 mile ride. I can't stand for a bike to sit up more than a week +/-.
    Except for the last two weeks (back surgery again). Rode the Harley down to the doctor yesterday without permission from him to ride again yet. He didn't get onto me about riding the bike the 42 miles down there. So, I figure he is o.k. with me riding again. Woo Hoo!

    02 919. Flat black. Imported Mivv exhaust.

    I always thought I wanted a cruiser. Had one, rode it. Whatever. The 9er is a different beast. No plastic, no "bling", pure streetfighter. :twisted:

    I am currently spending most of my time on my 82 XJ750 Maxim. Spent a little time on a 82 Honda Aspencade but had to sell. I still have an 82 Harley Sportster 1000 Ironhead that is currently a basket case but I need to either find lower case halves or preferably an S&S engine that will fit. The PO blew the tranny and tried welding the case halves back together on the poor Sporty so I think it is time for a upgrade as the rest of the bike is in Pristine condition.

    Right now, while I finish up my motorcycle safety course, riding a 2005 Honda Ruckus 50cc scooter on the daily commute. Can't beat the $200/year insurance, and the $5/month (ok, now $6) gas! Last time I calculated it, I was getting between 75-80 mpg on it.

    This is parked next to my Maxim in the shed. Not exactly a motorcycle, unless you consider me a motor.... :)

    It's worth a bit more than my Maxim too... :oops:
