I finally have the time to post this!

 

First, a multitude of thanks to Kenny and his Lady Beth for throwing quite a shindig. Good food [was it ever!], lots of fun and the pleasure of watching our Cupcake Incognito get to work on his own bike for a change. We must do this again! Next time I will bring my own camping gear [providing I have any!] so I don't have to stay 30 miles away. It was great getting to meet new people, spend time talking RSTC's with Walter who has a '98, and just getting to see a part of the country I've not been to before. Just wish I could have done more of the actual traveling in daylight!

 

Squidley did a brake/clutch fluid change on the TC and sync'd the carbs which it definitely needed. It was running better, certainly smoother, and I do believe my mpg is up as well. I need to find out just how far I can go on this bike before I have to start looking seriously for a gas station. I was doing stops at around 130-150 miles and not once did I put more than 4 gallons in it, most of the time not much over 3.5 gal., which I think is rather interesting mileage for a bike since my 650 rarely gets over 38mpg.

 

The ride home was "fun", partly due to a so called asst. mgr at a Sonic who needs to learn how to add. And partly due to finding out that the bike [or was it me?] doesn't like multiple changes in road surface. Construction thru Baton Rouge had the roadbed changing every few feet in places and it made for some "interesting" minutes on a bike when I have yet to learn all of it's quirks. The light show Mother Nature was putting on south of me wasn't bad either. It took me 12 hours or so to get home where I promptly conned the hubby into buying me breakfast at the local Denny's. After which I went home and "died" for about 10 hours!

 

Hopefully, next time I do a trip like this, I'll be better organized!!

Glad to hear you made it home in 1 piece, we went outside and you were gone like the wind. Good to hear that you felt the carb sync helped out, not just have to lower the bike a bit
