      I found today that it is a lot harder to keep this thing under 60. Probably be paying the state some money sooner or later. Love it though.

        If WA has done anything like CA, the $100 ticket ends up at $450!
        Glad to know it's running like it should, though.
        I'll be up in the Dupont area this weekend. My older sister lives in Dupont, and my mom is in Tacoma. The down side is I'll be in a rental car, as I'll have the two young adults with me. If the weather is nice Sunday, we may be able to hook up for a cup of coffee, or a beer!

            Back to some adjustment. Re synched and adjusted, and it runs a little worse. Not bad, but not good either. I went for a 5 hour ride yesterday, and it ran ok. The mileage actually increased to 42 MPG. It pulls really good, but still has troubles at the upper RPM range. 7000 and up. Not a big concern, but it isn't right. I am getting there.

                      where do you find this stuff???? You must either have a lot of time to spend on the net looking for pictures or a ridiculous library of strange and irrelevant images on your PC.

                          yeah, I kind of figured that was the case, your just crazy enough that I believe you do have all these crazy images just laying around, waiting for the perfect time to use them.
                          BTW as far as I can tell this:
                          あなたのオートバイの破損はあなたの睾丸!かもしれない translates to "may you receive testicular damage from your motorcycle!" Not sure what I did to deserve that.
