Perfect comparison Bum!

Truth is Carl you are a lot to manage without the help of Big Tom and Saddlebum! But Mama proved what we suspected all these years Love's you best:rant:

Who's right? I cannot get my head around the need to continue chase nor the outcome and what was said by the arresting officer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-_tj5sSKkc

I prefer Superman personally! See what I mean Tart, tires is more agitating then politics, and once again you started it! The one thing I can add tho, when SK and I ran in 17 he ran the Pilots me the Metz. In hard rains his snipes went right to the end of the shoulder; the Metz were like the 777 DuRRon is braggen on;) In the hill gullies the pilots out performed mine as, I could feel the pressure squeeze by those traps! As to why SK wanted to chase my tail light thru heavy rains? Well, one of us never growed up! There is a way to shake a guy who's doing that, and it works real good too, but I thought I'd had done it often enough to him on that ride in good weather and times that I figured I just let him be a puppy playin in the rain;)

Tires discussion seem to end in a wrestling match so just my experience. For me NO Dunlops. Regarding the front "groove" the theory was/is that it creates a dry path for the rear. True enough in heavy rains and riding straight up. I thought at first with the modern now old tread designs that not having one seemed risky, to this old dog. But the fact is that I have found not running on a front clearing channel to be less fatiguing! The tires have traits to them so knowing how you like to ride should steer you choice in the end.

Looks to me like he was standing on the seat. He likely has some severe elbow damage now. Wonder if he has learnt better;)

Tough question. A friend painted his a cream white, I though his front end looked mush nicer, seemed to soften the lines.

Maybe a cruise is a good idea Carl? Your chances are comparable perhaps better;)

The latter, we think you're nervous and rightfully so. And I would never say anything like that.

Looking back at some of the humor posted;) A song us carry is thru:

The oil leaks are likely the valve covers, the plastics well hmm a best practice is to warm them.

Oh-my-God Carl. Its daylight savings, your shift to go and milk the chickens, be quick about it and maybe don't come home this week. Best scoot now before Mama checks up on you...

Let me repose the question: would you agree with the money spent to get the results we see both dyno and test drive?

Nice thanks for sharing that! Interested to hear opinion on the second vid as well.. Now because you mention 1914 is history repeating its thinking as it pertains to the Spanish flue encounter in the 1st WW?

Thanks I appreciate that. Going to try and break down some work around's to efficiencies that I've used to sort mods that I played with.. It started when I was a young fellow building towers. Just took the theory and incorporated it.. So compression tests can be quick and simple or, you can turn them into a graph at a range of throttle plate angles to predict efficiency gains and losses. It takes time but its inexpensive and can be done by almost anyone. So if the crank is the heart of the engine then feeding it must be the goal. We know that inertia can compensate in fine tuning masking minor misses...blabla This also means that at low rpms we can better guess induction mod effects as we are essentially measuring off the weak driving force of the starter;) Not quite like comparison compression test but, same thinking. Happiness to be achieved at pre-determined values such as in a touring bike like eg. getting up to cruising speed/rpm range. Lots of ways to achieve torque also, many ways to use it to just simply get to the brutish side of things call HP; but then that effect tank range! Touring bikes pose a challenge as they have a greater range demand, move more mass over longer distances for extended periods of time. That's a tall order... Now if in your case you have achieved a measure of success than better understanding of this sheds a lot of light. I'll stop here: The venturi numbers may help shed this light as we know the carb has at least 2 but, are there more in the intake and or adapters? See crank angles and overlaps play a role in dynamic cfm requirements, see, we think of the cycles as individuals but in fact they have overlaps.... hmmhmm meaning that if you can say that as with a CV vacuum slide setup, hammer down 1/2 throttle with no lean/rich moments or bogs then there is more going on then accelerate compensation and jetting;) hmm WOT in a touring bike doesn't mean much often. Let us know thanks

Morning Carl, I see you came out swinging, did you have a good sleep, Grandpa? "The development suggests that a community outbreak, which government officials expect will happen, could be soon. The country now faces a critical question in how it responds, Rau said. “This is the turning point where we have an opportunity to shine relative to other countries. We can do this differently,” he said. “If we are intelligent about this and keep tracking the disease at a community level, looking for mild cases, not necessarily with a view to isolate them … then you can get an idea of what is the risk level for seniors, and when should they be careful about visitors. That’s going to be the trick.” " Rau is a Quack, and full of contradictions not to mention arrogant to think we know better than the rest in the same fight; my opinion of course. Testing the population at large will provide a clearer picture of the size to the problem and at what rate is the spread of… it here in North America. On this he is completely unprepared demonstrating confusion during his interview! Yesterday I heard a report from our cousins saying that 1685 people have been test “as of Friday” 10% tested positive. 10% 0f 325M is 32M that is a petrifying number for any country or continent, could we agree on that? On the “huge ship” anchored off the cost of Cal. Half of those tested, tested positive that’s 50%. The numbers are out of whack! We need to know what is the best and worst case scenario so MAN can plan, and women can correct us and guide, as is their role We are born to create for ourselves a fighting chance, ignorance robs us of that instinct! Lucky for Canada the West is still Conservative thinking!

Well Carl, looks like Moped owes you one;)

Thanks Zach, I'm trying to lookup the venturi sizes the site I usually go to isn't showing it. In the meantime could you spec the intake or adapter you chose? Another question for you: Not sure if I was involved in your conversion thread so I'll ask this of you now; did you check compression and note it after 5 revs then for maximum compression?

Na Mama would defend us, she knows the value of our experience;)

Yup Ben might do the trick, you speachify, I'll wear a white lab coat and Ben will clarify! But just in case bring money to bail me out, please. Someone told me: when you see the red dots, try withdrawing your request, hmm, is that true?

CARL; go stand in the in the hall next to Yama Mama's classroom door.

I see we're all in a groove this morning;)
