She took it out in 37 and you won't in 52? Just f'n with you
Not sure about you but every day here for the last month has started out sunny and calm but about 7:00 am turned to cloudy, windy, and cold. Chin up and hope for sun.

Yes, I have about 80 miles on it. I did my break in/break down run last week. Changed the oil and filter so she's good to go now. Starts right up and runs great. I'm chasing a few leaks, but nothing serious. Gas cap seal is dried out. That showed up today. And the clutch master has a seal that seems to be leaking so that's on it's way. All told maybe an hour of work. Cheryl is wondering when the Fed Ex trucks are going to stop visiting. Very soon.

On the carbs - same way - connect the vacuum line to each and work it from there. But I didn't do it this time. One of the "Airheads" had a fancy digital carb synch tool that he wanted to play with. He did a good job. Very smooth runner.

Kind of the same deal here Mark. It's starts out pretty well. I did a bunch of outdoor work and it was pleasant. Went in for 3 hours of meetings and by the time I was done the wind switched 180 degrees, so from west to east. It dropped the temps pretty fast. Supposedly the warm up begins tomorrow. I hope so because I'll be on the bike at 5AM Thursday. I'm taking it on the ferry for a meeting in Lansing.

There were 17 years of people before I got there that got the course ready for me to take over, I don't deserve THAT much credit for my 3rd year at the course. Tina is good.

Most people are in the cabin for the majority of the ride anyway, you'll be all right.
