And this keg is a dark english ale. The ale is currently sitting in a glass carboy on the kitchen counter, waiting to be racked into a "corney" keg that I rebuilt this weekend with new gaskets, seals, pressure test, and sanitizing. A bottle of carbon dioxide and regulator will meet us at the rally, but we are carring a party tap and the correct connection fittings.
Mine used to look like this.... <a href="https://hardwaregrrl.smugmug.com/Other/misc/16038929_btsAe#1411707406_xtKM95C-A-LB" title="Photo & Video Sharing by SmugMug"><img src="https://hardwaregrrl.smugmug.com/Other/misc/i-xtKM95C/0/L/65381923-1g79LrHrM-L.jpg" title="Photo & Video Sharing by SmugMug" alt="Photo & Video Sharing by SmugMug"></a> Notice the crazy, bulbous gas tank. Guy welded a half a peanut sporty tank on the sides!:eek1:eek1 I gave it to Mark and the only thing I could get at the time was the HPN! It was cheaper than a PD!! <a href="https://hardwaregrrl.smugmug.com/Other/misc/16038929_btsAe#1411707465_6HngsXS-A-LB" title=""><img src="https://hardwaregrrl.smugmug.com/Other/misc/i-6HngsXS/0/L/653819227P60e8bt-L.jpg" title="" alt=""></a>
1984 st 7835 bought it in northern Cali from a guy who had two and built one complete 100% restored bike. I took to Mexico and got hit. 7,000 miles since.
What ever happened with that? I remember reading about your accident in La Paz just a few days after I rode through there.
IT'S ALIVE! IT'S AAALIIIIIVE! I finally got the new flywheel in the R80ST. While I was at it I replaced the rear main seal, the oil pump cover seal, and transmission input shaft seal, since they all three looked suspect. I finished up Saturday evening, so of course it rained all day Sunday. Well, the weather channel says it is supposed to be sunny tomorrow, so I think I'm starting to feel too sick to go work!

There's going to be a R80ST available at the Auction at the Barber Vintage Festival ; http://www.auctionsamerica.com/events/feature-lots.cfm?SaleCode=BF11&ID=r114 Nope, no idea about condition, etc, not mine, no relation to the seller,etc.
Had a conference in San Antonio, so I took the occasion to make a loop farther west. Did the ride (three sisters, or twisted sisters, 337, 336, 335), got the t-shirt. Perfect weather, zero traffic, quite a few deer with suicidal leanings. Came within inches of hitting a buzzard that had trouble with lift off. Nice weekend. https://www.smugmug.com/gallery/19218687_dTRWwb#1498978016_XKdLBJ9
