    Finally got the old girl on the lift. Added load resistors to fix the LED fast flash and another new windshield. Didn’t like the medium Clearview, went XL. New plugs, brakes, fluids, Barnett clutch tomorrow and a carb synch to get ready. See y’all Wednesday evening.

    Enjoy the trip. We plan to head west for a big tour when the wife retires.

    I’ve got all new pads to install before Asheville, just haven’t had time yet. I got home from Huntsville Monday night to find we were victim to a lightning strike that took out my well pump. Got that replaced yesterday so on to a shop cleaning and bike maintenance.

    Almost here. Can count it down on one hand.

    Sitting here listening to my shift fighting a bad one. Doesn’t feel quite right, not being there to direct the fight and keep em safe. Guess they did it before me and will keep doing it without me.

    Welcome from the west end of the state.

    Not a chance I’m doing it here, they’ll try to wreck you. I got absolutely cussed out by a woman last week for stopping with my front wheel beside her rear bumper leaving me an escape route if the truck behind me didn’t stop. You’d have thought I ran over her dog or something.

    Remember to let her wind. If you ride it like a twin it’ll be a dawg as you said. Cruising rpms up around 4,000. Put her in second or third and bounce it off the limiter, you’ll quickly find the power. Stay out of 5th below 65 mph.

    Let me guess, you got stuck on a road that had a u/turn at each end and couldn’t find the exit.

    Don’t know what’s there after the accident but I don’t have a parts bike. Having Yammer parts Is history. 😄😄😄

    I might be interested in the ‘99

    I went through one per year on my 86 using lead acid. Went to AGM and got 5 years out of the last one never using a tender. Seems a little extreme.

    I went with the Clearview medium with vent. The vent blows a jet of air straight into my chest. I like it other than the height, getting ready to order a taller one. May have a deal for somebody when the taller one gets here. 100 miles on it.

    I use the SpeedoDRD. Works great and cheaper then the healer. I never checked the ODO accuracy before or after install, I plan to absolutely wear this bike out anyway. When it gets to the point of needing replacement the miles on me will be more important than the miles on the bike.

    That’s why I decided to try the darkside route, I was going through tires way too often. On MC tires I stayed away from the 404s, the labor involved outweighed the cost of better tires for me. I’m not advocating car tires, they’re not for everyone but I love em. 2 or 3 tire changes a year was too much.

    Not sure beyond the mess what will go wrong but the good thing is your side stand will stay lubricated.

    Next time around holler at me and we’ll grab a cup of coffee.

    I officially joined the Retired Old Fart club at 0700 this morning.

    I’m leaving the morning of the 17th on 80, turning South around London if you wanna try to hook up n ride down.
  20. RDawson
    I should get there the evening of the 17th. Taking the scenic route across KY and the Daniel Boone National Forest.

    Check pipe temps at the heads? Running on all 4?
  22. RDawson
    Congrats

    Check the rear shock for oil leak. Ignition switches can be a problem, easy fix on here for that. Overall incredible machines as long as they’re maintained and ridden. Keep the carbs clean, sitting long term is hard on em.

    I’m booked at the Super8

    As long as you keep the pants on.
