        Keep it up

        Hey keep us updated on how your coming. If you get it running soon I'm in Bloomington and love hitting the road. I've been on my 80 G for a couple weeks now. Great running bike even in the cold.

        I've actually got a ride going on in about a month, (bunch of harley guys, but they like my XS) traded for a 2010 road king for one leg of the ride and he ended up riding it the rest of the day.

        But if your up and riding in early march and feel like a trip to bloomington we welcome everyone. It's a bar hosting the ride and there are cabins out back for those who need a place to crash. After the ride of course

          Hey Kong, I work at the University all the time, was just there yesterday and be back plenty for a while.

          Let me know about that ride, sounds like a great time and I always wanted to take the bike out 46 anyway.
          Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

          When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

            March 12th. leaving out at noon. $15 per rider (poker run) 1st and 2nd hands take cash and everyone gets dinner at the end of the run (5pm) usually band after also. will be riding to 5 different bars.

            If your interested in coming you can just show up. and bet yer butt I'll be there. I'll be pretty recognizable with the xs11.

            What part of the university do you work with. I work over by the GRNOC (Networking) on 10th & the Bypass

              I helped build the new Data Center and now the new CIB building on the corner of 10th and the Bypass.

                10th

                oh, you have probably heard me rumble by there more than a few times. I mostly have to drive my truck in to work, but when I'm not doing "official" work I come in on my bike all the time.

                keep an eye out for that claw sissy bar!

                        Ok. Stole a ground wire from my brothers Honda, battery from my Triumph. Put battery on brick so that positive cable would reach. Hooked one line to lower t on the carbs. Turn key hit button...nothing. check cables. Still nothing. Wiggle wiring mess. Lights come on. Hit button. Turns over one and a half times and roars to life! Idles pretty good slight pop out left pipe. It ldles real good after warmed up. Doesn't miss a beat. I adjusted clutch. Goes throug gears ok on center stand. Im grinning like a fool. I took a video. Uploading to photo bucket. Then I will try to post it or a link here. IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                The sound is courtesy of harley davidson. The style of pipe works for me. But it needs to be black not chrome.
