    Made my running bike not run by a failed carb sync

    Also I have a small old plastic tank salvaged from a lawn mower or snowblower that makes a good fuel supply when the tanks off.

    2025 Day Trips!

    You'll love Michigan's 20 miles of the "Tunnel of Trees" should that country ever be back on your radar. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-e&channel=entpr&q=tunnel+of+trees+MI#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:b93c17c6,vid:RalaGOrB6pc,st:0

    Made my running bike not run by a failed carb sync

    Don't even consider the shite they call fuel line at crappy tire. That clear stuff goes rock hard after one season ...or is it one use. Pay extra and decent stuff that stays pliable and usually comes in blue or yellow tint. FWIW the blue tint is way cooler than yellow. I'm sure switching to blue...

    Fall trip to the near North anyone??

    Anyone keen to head north for a few days before the cool weather sets in? Was hoping to revisit the old ghost town of Silver Centre. Prefer rough camping but parks work too.. Let me know. Can do weekend or thru the week.

    Made my running bike not run by a failed carb sync

    After the "bench sync" done with a small drill (1/8. 1/16?) to make sure they all opened at the same time my old SOHC ran very good. It's the only sync it got. I'd say start there.

    Friday Sept 5 Come one Come all

    It was a lot of passes. I was walking gympy for a few days after - that ride is not friends with my old hips. Those three runs were close the others were all over the map. I see possible improvement in both. Finding what's a good tire pressure and then checking it would likely help. Also I...

    Friday Sept 5 Come one Come all

    Checked my slips finally. Turns out I made 8 passes. My three best were: 13.15, 13.15 and 13.04. A run into the 12s must be close.

    Were you there (BMW open house)?

    Is my Wing a boxer? Or is that reserved for twins only?

    Friday Sept 5 Come one Come all

    Oh frick I've been wading right in and doing a little wheel spin to warm it up, just cuz it's fun. And before the next outing I mean to check and see what the tire pressure is. Never even checked last go round.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Or just buy a Toyota and leave it outside. I think half of the rust problem is bringing your salt and snow encrusted vehicle into the nice warm garage so the giant salt-sicles can melt into a nice salty brine that can then seep into every seam, nook and cranny. My 12 year old Matrix has no...

    If you can leave a stoplight you have all the skills required to give it a whirl. The friendly folks in St Thomas will help you with everything else you need to know. (Basically Go Fast, Have Fun, Don't Crash)

    St Thomas was having bikes and sleds this weekend but a cheap Friday was enough for me.

    Friday Sept 5 Come one Come all

    @Gary Actually St Thomas does both apparently. My slips were all 1/4 times. Managed about 7 passes. At 8:45 the guy in the staging area asked if I had a light I could put on. I didn't but agreed to make it my last pass and he let me go. The far end of the run off was getting dark so it was a...

    Steps towards a simpler life

    I thinks it's a one word answer. Snow. But of course you're right. The best part of being somewhere different is the DIFFERENCE.

    Steps towards a simpler life

    If you play your cards right there should NEVER be enough room in the garage for a car.
