Went out to the shop today and Dad told me he thought I had a fork problem. Said he saw a little oil on the floor near the left fork. (same one that went bad on him) Took the front cover off and sure enough, oil on the brake caliper and up the fork piston. Not anywhere as bad as his leak was, but it will only get worse. Told him to call the Honda shops here and Tupelo and see when we can get them done. He said he would pay for one and I could pay for one, since he used the spare off the parts bike. If it had been in the summer, I'd just ride the 650, but that's a LONG way on that SMALL bike. Guess I'll be in the truck tonight.

That sucks....it sounds like you are gonna have some good luck in Tupelo though. If that guy can do it while you wait, we need that trick!

Got the rebuilt forks back in the bike. Changed the oil and final drive oil while it was down. (only 25 miles from due) Took a test drive to Starkville with dad and everything seems to be in order. Gassed her up and am ready for Monday. Just hope the weather is ready for me!

Took them to Honda of Tupelo. They did a bang up job and was 70 dollars cheaper than the douche bag at Village Cycle Center.
