I have a similar "Moped Screen" here from the old Yamaha XS650. It has the round cut out to fit over the headlight bucket. There are thousand of variants.
What did you do with your non-Burgman scooter today?
I've seen threads like this on other forums and figured "why not?"
So to start. Today was very windy. Temps are around 74F which is really warm for March in central Iowa. And sunny too. But the clouds are moving in and getting ready to rain about 2 inches in the next 2 days starting tonight.
So my wife and I pulled the Rav4 out of the garage and washed it. It is white, but was starting to look a really darker shade of gray.
While that was being done I decided to also pull out the AK 550 and wash that as well. It was overdue from winter/cold riding. Before I bought my AK I was unfamiliar with how to care for a bike with a Matte finish. I noticed that some people have equated that to a satin finish but those are 2 different finishes... not the same thing. Even the cleaners that are specialized for those finished state they are for Matte AND Satin finishes.
Anyway, before I bought mine I had posted the question about how to properly take care of a Matte finish and the most common reply on a few different forums was to simply wash with clear water and wipe down with a microfiber cloth. NO cleaners (at least never use cleaners made for most car bodies or motorcycle panels) or that will cause the Matte finish to become blotchy and look really bad. And definitely NO WAX. That would be even worse on the Matte finish. As I said above there are special cleaners made for a Matte finish but I figured the most economical method was the most commonly suggested one... rinse well with just water and wipe with a microfiber cloth. So that's what I did. The bike looks new now!
In a few days after the rain is done I'll be going out for a ride.

While it did drift some ( a lot) they are doing this to a NON-Burgman bikes.
But if wanted by Bob, we can delete some off.
Like wow man, a good BUZZ. 😎
Do not water the grass, its brown. I water the 50 or so Rhododendron's, Azaleas, Japanese Maple trees, Huckleberry bush's, 100 Douglas Fir trees......
I love my house all except a couple things. We have the standard 7 foot 6 inch ceilings on both floors. Built in 1987, the 10 foot ceilings had not come back in style yet. Grew up in old 'Queen Ann' style homes so 12 foot downstairs and 10 foot up stairs. I really love the old Craftsman or Victorian homes but wife did not want one. 48 years together who am I to buck the system?
We do have a large Foyer that is half open to the cathridal ceiling upstairs, 24 feet, and we have had a 14 foot Noble Fir Christmas tree in there but our 2 year old grand son will mess with it.

Yes and NO. Got the job but was in the Electronics part of store but I could not do the lifting requirements of Big Screen TV's. So before we did any paperwork it was mutually agreed upon they needed someone else.You still get the job?
I was still recovering from my accident but "Employment Securities Office" (unemployment office) was making me do job applications, 3 per week.
But back to "What did you do...."
Sunday I got my sons 1991 Ninja 500 into the garage and started it up after draining the tank and flushing the carbs. It has sat for 5 years. I will be doing some mod's to it to gain efficiency not Horespower. It will be used to power something like these:
Fixed that for ya JRbuy once, 😭 once, then
