@Bill Hagan Bill what dates do they do their mutton cookoff? Don't they have it twice in the year? If I don't have any conflicting dates I'll try to fit this in.

I haven't seen any posts for this gentleman. how about a little extra

It's good to see your back in the saddle again Bill! To tell the truth averaging over 50 miles per hour on back roads is impressive. When planning a trip using all backroads with all my stops I normally figure about 40 mph average. Gives me an idea of saddle time. I got to try some of that mutton one of these days

Coming home from the Spine Raid XXI I like to think of the wife and Susan calling me home. It makes the last 500 miles of the trip easier.

Now I know how Josh felt when he said Bill never got a picture of him smiling. Bill can be sneaky with his camera. I mean you want to catch people being natural and not poising all the time but that doesn't always tell the whole story. My knee ain't so good doesn't bother me riding but I can't stand on it long. Might not always look my best.

I want to thank all of the Spine Raiders for their hospitality I really enjoyed myself. Good to meet the people behind the names. I need to delegate more time cause having one day of rain can dampen the fun (not entirely).

I would imagine that this clip has been a number of times before in the past. For Spine Raid 21 how about some CCR seeing how they were the first act to be signed up for Woodstock and it will be my first Spine Raid.

I have a copy of Dizzy Gillespie - A Night in Tunisia not what I'd call smooth jazz. After years I'm stilling trying to those pieces together.

I went and rebuilt my throttle bodies they were leaking gas pretty good. Phil mentioned when he rebuilt his one of them was missing the rubber seal altogether. So, I thought I would dig into mine. The leak was just the injector needing some cleaning, but I was in there already, so I replaced the bushings. When ordering the bushings its clear they're made to run at some low rpm they have a running class fit. Don't think that they're going very tight at all. I guess it helps with the throttle return having the throttle impeded might for no more posts.

Just feeling a bit funky.

I didn't know he is a Guzzi rider big plus for Billy Joel! I just needed a little distraction before getting back to it.

The caveat emptor express has been doing its thing. Hard to trust a rescue bike sometimes.

I just changed my manual petcock and after a week it seems the o-ring is starting to swell. Crap, guess I'll have to Phil's mod or I wouldn't be able to turn my gas off soon. Changing the petcock might not be as simple as it appears. Sean how was the bike stored was there still gas in the bowels? Might be residue on the floats they are precision instruments. You also need to check the metering needles for any pitting. You could get float and needle working just to have your mid-range trashed.

Those clips are pretty irrelevant. Don't know if that's Roy Buchanan's really family but that would certainly be a different side of the man. Most times he can be a real gunslinger. If your not familiar with Roy watch something like Roy Buchanan live form Austin, TX. Eva Cassidy go watch her cover of Somewhere Over the Rainbow or Song Bird.

Doing a little digging, you have to Know some of their other work to really appreciate these.
