czakky Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I don’t have possession yet, but it looks like a 77’ T3 is following me home. No pics yet, but it’ll be my zen cruiser with a big comfy seat and giant saddlebags. Needing a good amount of TLC. The 2-3 year plan is to make a sidecar rig out of it. That is if my 3 year old daughter encourages me enough... Any advice welcome. The basic stuff checks out: chrome bores, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Any advice welcome. Do-It! Do-It! Do-It! You knew you could count on the other inmates on the ward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoguzzi Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Buy it but get a Miata for your daughter. You could spend that much setting up a good hack and you'd have a roof for when it rains. Plus it's safer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czakky Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 Miata over Goldwing for sure. I’m just not that old yet.... Ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68C Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Oh yeah834B8C4C-CF16-4DA8-BA2D-733ABF42C4F2.jpeg We have a long winter up here. Winter projects help. Being an Englishman, a rapidly endangered species, I wondered what Wisconsin is like. Opened up Google Earth and found Wisconsin, at first I thought Google had superimposed a lat. Long. Grid on the map then realised it was roads. Truly amazing how the surveyors managed to mark that out. How do you move diagonally? Do you go along the top and then down or zig-zag across.I could also see traces of snow in the ditches so now perhaps understand your winters. Very different from our random roads: Before the Romans came to Rye or out to Severn strode, The rolling English Drunkard made the rolling English road. (With apologies to G.K. Chesterton.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swooshdave Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Not the surveyors, the farmers. Most plots in the midwest are drawn out that way. Every once in a while an errant river or creek gets in the way. On top of that you get the massive pivots that create circles inside the squares. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

czakky Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 @68C where I live there are dozens of small dairy farms (Wisconsin is famous for its dairy) and nice rolling hills. @Swoosh, Will do once I take possession. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68C Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Sounds like more familiar countryside to me, Hampshire and Dorset, or Darzet as folk may say. But there is a strange fascination in those square plots. Sorry to have gone off topic, MY T3 850 (now 950) is in bits but will soon come together after the Great Winter Rebuild. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
