'98 bike, ~53k miles (87k Kilometers - Canadian bike)
4th owner, originally imported to US from Vancouver, CA. Purchased locally mid-2024.
Thought it needed a little cleaning and a 27-year refresh with some spare parts I had around plus a few new ones. Nothing groundbreaking, just typical teardown and clean up. Still a little bit to do to finish it up.

Before I age out of coaching, I want to get some of the street bikes back on track for some easy laps coaching. Last weekend was VFR98 and in October, I'm hopeful for the CB-7 (7th CB-1).ย
