Props to anyone who gets that random reference.

So I did buy a bike. Not from the cartel. My roommate John randomly ran into this redneck who had a '78 Yamaha xs1100 that had been sitting inoperable for about 7 years. This is the exact same bike that John has so he knows all about how to fix it. So 450 dollars later it belongs to me.

We pulled it home and for the last several days I have been working on the bike under John's direction. We pulled out the carburetors and airbox and took them apart, cleaned them, replaced some faulty parts put them back together and back into the bike. We replaced all the hoses and filters and fired it up. IT LIVES!! And it sounds great.

Today I spent almost the entire day sanding the rust off of the headers and mufflers. They were quite rusted and pitted, but hours of sanding later they are ready to be painted black and reinstalled. I'll do that Monday. Also on Monday I'm going to detail clean the engine and paint it as well while John takes apart and cleans the brakes.

Funny part is that the redneck said the bike didn't run. Silly man had the fuel lines and vacuum lines reversed. Oh well, cheap transportation for me :)
