  1. Been 45 and balmy here in Salt Lake but last week.  If you notice because I have a corner lot I snow blow the street so Mr Plow doesn’t push it back into my drive apron

  2. Interesting thing I wanted to ask about…my bike sometimes has struggles to start mainly because I need to do some maintenance on the choke.  In the cold morning my buddy was like good luck getting her running, to everyone’s surprise half a crank and she purred like a lioness.  Left it idling for like 1.5 hrs charging my phone and packing up.  Shut her down to access the key and the battery didn’t have enough juice to kick back over.  What would cause this?  Weak stator?  I did in hindsight also have the heated grips running, and playing music.

  3. It got a bit chilly overnight but the right mummy bag did it’s job.  Met at a Harley shop in Logan Ut. who supplied an awesome breakfast.  Did an organized ride with the Vagos up to Preston Id for a day of motorcycle rodeo, food trucks, raffle, live band, camping and of course drinking among other things.  Great time!  My first moto camping.

    Personally I prefer the OEM carb setup. For one thing with four carbs you can balance the engine better which is specially nice if your compression between cylinders vary. With a single carb you cannot, you can only attain a general adjustment across the board. If a carb fails you can still run on the other three to get somewhere other than the side of the road. Finally looking at the setup you would also reduce air volume though I guess air velocity would increase, maybe. There is a reason why in they muscle car hay day we replace 2 barrel carbs with four barrel or even 6 packs. JMHO.

    We need a “love” icon.  My thoughts exactly!  First thing that came to mind for me is “single point of failure”  yeah we take risks only having two wheels but why add.

    Best is to find a place that will make custom windshields. We have a place called PA Plastics that will fabricate any type of windshield you want in a variety of tints. You simply give them your old windshield and they will duplicate it, even include any modifications you would like such as shorter/taller or narrower/wider.  If your windshield is broken just give them the pieces the will use them as a template to make the new one.

    That's awesome 

    Thanks!  Yeah speed week is something I always watched on Tv growing up and have been wanting to attend since I was like 14.  So after finally moving within reasonable distance seven years ago I got a chance to check it out.  Lots of years it’s flooded out or I just plain forget until it’s over.  Apparently there is another event in September by a different association 

  7. Rode 150 miles out to Bonneville salt flats for speed week but it was a bust, track is currently flooded, they’re hoping to race Tuesday.  Might take a day off work toward the end of the week and go back if they’re running.  The ride was a success though five bikes, one cage and nine people in our 20F4A85B-5413-4B70-8FF4-7319C42F9BA3.thumb.jpeg.3b178348cc6e0c2729dd3b10976686b8.jpegF0CA53DF-D11A-4CF4-9A8C-8606136CABF6.thumb.jpeg.64c98ca2e3c1614e594179daff0cc528.jpegDB32EF2C-8943-402E-BEC0-04DFEDCC9BB0.thumb.jpeg.6c128dab628ff16db93622873cab27dc.jpegD632D61B-FA01-410D-BDFB-A826DEBE6076.thumb.jpeg.95cfc2732e6ba6f2865e1bc203c9925f.jpegD9BF3504-36A0-44E8-9C10-7B686BC157B5.thumb.jpeg.0b2a879ec2ec778c97f691bea43ff612.jpegE623DEDC-FB16-4E59-A1FC-B6B7844684A9.thumb.jpeg.4274d091c3a3df6d7d88071d8c79ead1.jpegIED39DBE7-7E38-420C-83CA-C19DE1D20188.thumb.jpeg.ac1b05cfc8e5b4e86a049e9c15ef9475.jpeg

    With those first gens in there that could have been a flash from the past photo 😄. Nice

    Here’s a solo pic of the ole girls.  Aside from those Zumo screens it could be 1992B45F03C8-E575-4E87-8361-0901A27C6555.thumb.jpeg.62fbb9ac547b3e3853b3615da7ca235b.jpeg
