September, 2001, was a tumultuous month for my family. We’d sold our Orange County condo, the only home our children had ever known, and on Labor Day moved into a rented townhouse in Burbank, California.

Masquerade
It’s winter over here in New Zealand, so the bikes been mostly parked up and given the occassional run to keep it ticking over. I thought it was all good for next season but then a few things happened….
The fork seals gave up, so I replaced those along with the fork oil.
The stator wiring burnt out, it took me several days to find the problem and resolder all the connections.
The bike failed a warrent of fitness (safety inspection) which meant replacing the steering head bearings (and pulling the front end apart again)
The good news is that I’ve now built up a spare rear wheel with a road tyre and road gearing. This means I can use this bike for other uses besides following my daughter around an offroad track in the summer time.
