I wonder if Mick took off his Canadian sport jacket and laid it in a puddle for the missus to cross. Did rain in OK City today...
Possibly. Being Canadian Made, its probably made from Baby Polar Bear hide, which is very water proof.

Forgot I have to stay tethered to my phone in case our big change tonight goes awry. This is a big but simple change and affects multiple geographies.
So I brought my phone to bed tonight.

This conversation just happened :

Nataly was standing on the bed so I asked her why and she said because Benjamin was.

So I used Parent Logic 101...

"If Benjamin jumped off a bridge would YOU jump off a bridge? "

"No Pop!"

"Why not? Benjamin stood on the bed, so you did it. Why not jump off the bridge too?"


"Because I am not so good at jumping off a bridge! "

I couldn't keep a straight face

Hard to argue with that.


fwiw, I found it was best to figure out what I all wanted the bike/motor to do, then if needed, talk to your engine builder and do it all at the same time.

I built Suzi and Kawi race motors and it was much easier and cheaper to build a motor once, than do it piece by piece and rarely did the piecemeal method work as well as the all in one.
Dyno tuning nowadays would be a must.
imho
