Well I hope the weather warms up soon Eve, to give us all a boost!

Here in the UK we are actually further North than the Great Lakes, so now we have passed the March equinox our days are getting longer and a bit warmer, but we are still getting overnight frosts. Brrrrrr!

Removed and refitted my Glide's fork legs yesterday, as part of my winter rebuild, installing my newly painted fork shrouds/covers. They are SO cold I had to come in and get a hot coffee between legs! So even when the weather at last makes working out there feasible, in short bursts, all the metalwork is unbearably cold to the touch.

I also stripped and cleaned my front wheel, but brought in over night to warm up, so I could work on it, take it outside to clean, then bring it back inside to rebuild!

Spring has to be around somewhere.....

Oh man. Snowing. Bike torn apart.
You are living "les Miserables", Graham.

Making some hot soup for you today.
Will mail it later.

Dale, you're a star! Snow promised again tomorrow, although there has not been enough to settle, as it turned out. Soup will be just great, to warm my poor hands out in the garage.

Ok, then I will ask some questions-
Better to run your Evo at lower RPMs or run her hard?
What RPM to shift up/down?
Single fire or dual?
Idle to warm her or ride away easy for a few miles?

Anyone? Add more if you want.

Wink

  • They're quite happy up to around 5k rpm and will cruise at around 4k.
  • Shift in the 3's.
  • Either!
  • Brief warm up, take it easy.
