Saving my 1978 Honda CB400A “Decaf” bike from a near fatal blow – lower gasket blowout and huge oil leak! (like, dumped a quart+ of oil in minutes while riding fast on highway at high temps). It was inadvertently overfilled with oil (my bad) and driven too hard (twin brother’s not so good) combination that killed the Beast!

I’m about to sell, with some sadness, my 1978 Honda CB400A “Hondamatic” motorcycle.

After months of work, Russ finally gets his Ninja 600cc working!
Hunter, Russ, and I celebrate with an 85-mile day trip during the three day weekend around Mount Diablo, through the legendary Morgan Territory.

Russ and I changed our motorcycle’s oil and oil filters today.  This was the first time I’ve ever changed oil in a vehicle – I guess it sort of was a life goal I figured I’d never get around to – part of understanding cars/bikes more!   So it was a nice way to kick off the start of our 3-day holiday weekend.

Here’s a short video mid-way through a 50-mile day of canyons and twisties. Fun!

Everything is working again with my greatly streamlined instrument cluster is in place! (Well my LED “idiot light” for “neutral” is always on now so one last adjustment/fix sometime soon!)

Whups, my new speedo’s turn indicator LED was only going on when left signal was running.
