Going riding!

Hey there Gary,

Well, I took my nephews out for a ride this weekend. We had temps in the low 60's, still cool at speed, but nice and sunny! With the 13 y/o on the back, maybe 120lbs, we were stopped at a light before a nice stretch of highway, I shouted over my shoulder for him to hang on, I was going to show him how well it accelerated! Revved it up and took off and felt the front wheel slowly rising a bit, made a gentle touchdown at 8k, speed shifted into 2nd and pulled it up again for a short while, topped at 8k and into third at around 60mph and hit 80 a few seconds later before backing down! Oh, what a bad example I am. !

The bike started acting like it was hitting on only 3 cylinders unless I really cracked the throttle, and even then at times. We rode around for a little while, then I finally got to a place where the sun wasn't shining so brightly, and I could see my Low Gas Red Indicator Light was on...... put $5.00 in it, and it smoothed right out after that, musta been a combination of several months old gas, and just bottoming out the tank.....DUH!!!!! Phew, at least I don't have to clean my carbs now!!! Now where did I put that can of SeaFoam???? Hope you get to ride some before West Va., don't want you to be too rusty......you can't afford anymore bike body panels!!!!
