YAY!! Just wanted to share with everyone, we just got my step dads 84 honda shadow 700 running again!! Its a glorious day of setting up christmas decorations and working on bikes :). All we need to do is a carb rebuild, get the clutch ad brake systems working and were all set!
Oh what a great day!! thanks for puttin upw tih me, lol but im excited for my step dad. have a great weekend all!
Well... maybe he'll let you have the Honda cheap since you're needing to get rid of your bike for some cash... I know my bike has paid for itself just saving me the hassle of trying to park around campus.

Which college? I like to pick up tidbits to pass along to folks scouting colleges. The ones that nickle and dime, especially for parking, really annoy me. I mean yes it's a privilege to go to college. But you know what, it's also a privilege to be faculty or admins at a college, and it's there to serve the students, though not all of them think that's their primary mission. So parking is almost a litmus test in my book. Almost. --Mike D.
Yea, my college passes are only 15 bucks for a semester though since im at a junior college. Ive driven my truck to school when its raining all year, and i still havent gotten a ticket lol.
Well.. here at good 'ol UT, a "C" commuter pass is $80/yr. That puts you a 15min walk from campus, but there's a bus that picks up every 10 mins or so. An "R" resident pass is around $650 and you get put in a parking garage, hopefully close to where you want to be. I don't have either, I ride the bus to campus from my apartment so as long as I don't miss my bus, i'm ok. I could buy an "M" motorcycle pass but I can squeeze in between cars just as close if I have to and save myself the $60.

$60 bucks a year :o
I friggin' pay $60 dollars a semester :x
But up here you can only ride for the Fall Semester, the temp does reach above freezing for long until late march...
So in the end I pay is much as you, but damn these Minnesota seasonal changes.....
Ohh well at least the U of M is raping even more :nana:
At Michigan Tech I pay $25 a semester to park 5-10 minutes away. I had to pay $100 a semester to park at my HS a few years ago. :dunno:
A bike pass is free here, but you are supposed to register the bike and put an ugly sticker on it.(I registered, but refuse to put the sticker on) Also, our bike parking is 30 seconds from the ME building where most of my classes are, so I ride as late in the season as I can for laziness sake.
Danny, your chain still looking good tension wise? How about your valve cover...any leaks? Still running good overall?
I get free motorcycle parking, all year round :) Small town college, River Falls WI
Getting a bike running is always a great feeling. Congrats! :cheers:
