In prep for Rylestone next month, I replaced the rear wheel bearings with Timken tapered rollers. The old ball bearings had done around 130,000 miles in 25 years; they were still fine, but I've had the Timkens sitting here for 5 years. So... :)

Speaking of shiny, picked her up from the detailer today, bit of money but all the paint is semi the same tone now. So happy, quite a few of the small scratches and blemishes are gone. will put pics up when I get some light.
