But I remember your bike. 124 S&S too, if memory serves.

Yup. Low compression S&S 124. About 134tq and 125hp. Very streatable.

Evening gents! Had a nice ride with Cheryl today.



It's all a great ride but the stretch below the Stevenson School District is flat out amazing. S curves for miles.

Couple of red draws at the Deuce and our adventure is over. Russ did scratch his head a time or 2 trying to balance the rear wheel.

I'm off to babysit Miss Miss.....



I thought you were a Ride On guy Russ.

Jack, we met and you know I don't miss many meals. I want my cart to have a stage 4.

The only thing missing from that picture is a finger point. Or a thumb.

I was surprised. Sent him a text asking how he wanted to balance the wheels. I have a ton of weights that I don't use anymore because I use beads. I figured Russ was a beads or ride on guy....

He did put one weight on that was a tiny bit not perfectly centered, and that son of a bitch got scraped right off....

The beads or the goo might interfere with the TPMS, he thinks.
