First Ride After Doing the Mods

[elmicko]

Finally got a pretty Saturday to take the bike out and get the riding itch out of my britches. I've done a bunch of work on the bike over the winter and RandyA came over and helped me with carb diaphragms and lower in the needles. This is just my first impression of the improvement in performance, but SON OF A ______!!!! That puppy is fast now, I can't believe how much better it runs. Thanks Randy, you set me up right! Here are some pics of the bike now that I've worked on her for the past 3 months.

Hey Mick,

We are still snowed in here in Pa. and I am so jealous! Very nice pics! There isn't anything like the feeling of the sun on your face, and your scoot runnin' Premo! That RandyA, he's a great guy! Wait till summer comes!

Good Job,

Earl

Nice looking bike--same color as mine.

I think yours would look better without those passenger arm rests---just take them off and send them to me.

Nice, looks like a twin to mine....

These things may be 800 pounds but they have enough to "haul it well"

 

Nice looking ride - come up around exit 63 and let me lay eyes on that thing!

Will do, Steve. But let's let spring get here first.

Sorry, mama said no to losing her armrests.

Thanks Mick and as I have said, that has got to be one of the most beautiful MKII's I have ever seen. I am glad it is running better. Maybe one of these days we can find a safe place to see how mine stacks up against your's. Just keep in mind that mine has over twice as many miles, has a smaller engine and it is probably more than a little tired, but it does run fair. I just hope your's don't run as good as Skid's MKII. That one surprised me a little.
