Very early in the planning stage.You Phase Three and somebody in Maricopa AZ I wanna stop off at.Then New Orleans and Charotlesville VA and back to Cincy.
I might have to get a smaller bike like a Bergman.A couple in our Retired and Riding group have them and swear by 'em.Just thinking ahead alittle.

This is the ride I think we all thought about when we were 16-18...I don't think I have the ....s to do it now but dreaming is a good thing.

I'll warm up the sync gauges.

Doug,I haven't tried to start my bike in two months,it is still running on three cyl's but starts right up.The plugs when I last looked were showing rich but none were wet which kinda confused me,easy to do.
The a fib knocked me for a loop
Think a bike falls apart faster when not ridden than out on the road every day.
This arm chair riding is not that good

For those of us more "mature" I think we all had the hots for Nancy back then.

Hey, Bill -

Sorry about not responding sooner ... I just now caught up with this thread ...

Anyway ... sounds good! Just let me know when you finalize your plans ...

Work permitting, it would be really great to meet you!

[STEPPENWOLF]

Doug I will get out there one of these days start it and hit the header pipes with my spray bottle to see which one is not running.

Did you drain the gas out of the carbs or run them dry before you let it sit for an extended period?

[STEPPENWOLF]

Doug,in 35 years I have never run them dry or drained the gasBut then again I usually ride year round.I had a buddy bring over some fresh gas a few months back.Don rode it to my house before he passed and I rode it once to the Retired and Riding group earlier this year but I was still a bit unstable with shifting being a bear.
I have Seafoam in the tank and carbs.I do have new diaphragms for the carbs that need to be put in.
I will see what happens..I am busy in the morning and evening but the afternoon is free tomorrow
