    What a GREAT riding day today!

    I went a couple of times just thinking of places to go and later took SWMBO around from place to place tonight just enjoying this weather and the bike.

    Though I need to work on cleaning the carbs I guess cuz I am starting to have power loss from idle to 2500 rpms where it takes off -


    But it was STILL fun as heck.

            Dude, it's worth a can of Sea Foam before you pull your carbies. That stuff works wonders, especially if one's already running. Put some in, let it sit in the carbs overnight or longer, you might be surprised.
