My AC is not working...hope the workmen fix it soon.

I hope to replace the right headlight bulb on my Gen 3...need to also change oil and replace the brake fluid...overdue.

Need Griff to move down here quick like so he can help me check valve clearances on the 04 before I hand it over to my son in July.

I dropped it off at the dealer to have the damaged plastic and crank case cover replaced under insurance.

Consider moving back up yonder? Joe says it's a lot cooler there these days.

HA-HA...you can't get rid of me that easily! If I get too hot, wifey and I will just get on the bike and head up past the Saluda Reservoir and continue to Roan Mtn. woot!!!

 
Finished up my winter maintenance and Farkle Installation - ready for SW FOG!

Too wet to test ride today, I'm a pussy!

 
Gave Ginger her "600" mile TBS check at about 2500 miles. 3 and 4 cylinder were about 2cm higher in vacuum, but adjusted easily down. 1 was the white painted air screw. I'm sure other guys have found this out, but by temporarily disconnecting some of the pair piping it was a whole let easier getting 1 and 2 vacuum caps off and back on.
2 cm or mm? Mine was probably out 1 or 2 mm on the CarbTune on the first sync. Didn't make a wits worth of difference.

Best bet for getting the vacuum caps off and on is a nice long pair of roach clips hemostats.

Ha! Funny you should mention that. I got a hankerin' to check out a road up thataways. Rt 197 between Burnsville and Barnardsville. Last time I was there it was in a frog strangler of an all day down pour. There's about 4 miles of it that's dirt, only we didn't know that at the time, so we turned back. I wanna see where that goes. Mebbe Saturday...hmmmm.

If you don't mind the four miles of gravel, it's a nice road. The gravel keeps it from becoming "The Dragon" hahaha.

Multitasking???

Shit, I've got an 03 carcass sitting on my lift that needs to be put back together and have the valves checked. Just wait a month Mark and we'll have two to do.
I'm thinking you still have a hole to drill in your current bike's tank...

Finally got a decent ride in, about 380 miles. Yesterday I did some higher speed interstate, some leisurely country and some tighter twisties of Rt 197. The dirt/gravel wasn't too bad but there were sections that had relatively new gravel so it was still pretty loose in spots. Overall a fun road to do.
