Mornin' all.

Toll House choct chip are the best cookies by far.

262 appox miles on yesterday and although slightly sore, the back side is doing just fine with the new seat, I think I have a keeper.

Went south along the river on the Wisc side, hit J&J BBQ for surprisingly a disappointing brisket, and the wife's BBQ's chicken could have been confused with a sparrow it was so small..o-well.
Then off a bit further south, crossing the river back into MN and home.
A nice curvy relaxing ride.

Got the email I should drive to Milwaukee to test drive the new HD, no thanks, I spent enough time and money making this one ride able, I'd rather not have to do it over.

Make me a 180hp WG that can corner, designed by people who actually ride and not feel like I'm sitting on an oven and we may be able to talk.

The guys in the New Engine thread are gonna love me. Posted the following..


"The way I see it, they finally brought back the Evo and re-engineered the 4 valve head they had in the early 20th century to have greater flow and make it oil cooled.


Has anyone compared the percentage of HP and torque gained on this engine with the previous engines to their predecessors?


Flame suit on!"
