Well, there is that..

You'll like em.. they were my favorites until I discovered Contis.

Boy, I hate missing this one, Kevin.. but Dorcia's kid is remodeling. He said he could through a tarp over the porch floor and we could stay underneath, but we decided the accommodations might be a little spartan.

I mistyped.. the Kid has Road Attacks on his Spot. He said he'll replace them this Winter with the same thing.

I read not to do that back in the Pleistocene.. so I never have. So far, so good.

Au contrair mon ami.. the Mighty Scura was out in SoCal for years without a tuneup and ran "fine." When I brought it home, I checked the TPS, and it was some crazy number like 340. (!) It runs beautifully, now.. the little hesitation it used to have at about 2400 at very light throttle is gone. When checking it when trouble shooting during "the incident" at the Spine Raid, it was 145. Still runs fine, haven't made time to reset it.

Shirley it's more than a toenail to be wrapped up like that..

It can definitely cause poor or no running at a specific RPM.. so yes.

Yeah, it's kind of a religious experience..

That's what I did. Looks a nice..

And they are something like $42..

Uhhh, Docc.. you may have a problem..

Yeah, I hate missing that one.. but Dorcia's kid has their house torn up for a remodel. There is some *great* riding at the Sandy Eggo nota rally.

A friend has one. It sounds.. as Pete sez.."like two skeletons fornicating on a tin roof." I've not ridden it, but the owner says you can't hear all that when riding. One of these days, we'll make connections, and I'll give you a ride report.

I read a bad translation the other day that said water cooling is in the works. IIRC 3 years out.

Sorry we missed you, Bill & Kathy.. but.. after 75 miles of rain and gloom the day before, the spectacular wx Fri-Sun was made to be enjoyed.

Well, maybe.. but.. you could make a capable LeMans with the small block, different ergos, and good suspension. The antique AeroLario is a 4/5 scale LeMans.. put a modern front end and Ohlins on it, and it would do the job. 2018-09-03_12-28-14 by Charles Stottlemyer, on Flickr

One of my best friends, Nina Lee, (RIP) was a Hatfield. What a character..

I spent much of my misspent youth in the woods getting mauled by a Bultaco Matador..

As are you, Sir. We enjoyed meeting Dorcia, too, and Kathi especially enjoyed having another distaffer around to mock the boys. BTW, think you (and Dorcia?) will be in Kentucky later this week. Kathi and I will make a cameo drive-by on Friday sometime. I'll be on Griso heading to mutton in Daviess County; Kathi in Mini carrying parts. Bill Yep, wouldn't miss the Kentucky rally. It's like a family gathering where you like everybody.

Yes, you *are* a lucky guy..

I had it on a Palm Pilot oh, a "couple of years or so" ago. It worked well on Guzzis and Ducks. It was sort of a one off, though.. he had me send him the Palm Pilot and he installed it. Maybe give him a call and ask what up?

I showed my pup Austin the latest version yesterday and told him maybe he could find an older version for cheap since he is bound determined to get a G5.. Unfortunately, I've given older versions to kids that were interested over the years.

Apparently already has.

Ok, I'm having a hard time imagining chopping the throttle and opening it letting the float bowl fill to a measurable degree. How about a sticking advance or something involving ignition? Well, you did say any ideas..
