The sportster can go anytime, though I'd like to check and adjust a few things before I get serious with it. Getting the Ural ready for Audrey, she wants to take it on a short vacation next week. For the destination, it'll get there on a trailer of course, it's too slow for highways. Weather reports don't look good, I think the trails she wants to ride are liable to be mudholes, and it's no good for mud, it's just single wheel drive. Two wheel drive probably sucks for mud, too.

Too bad there's no border crossings where she's going, only 15 or 20 minutes from Canada, be fun to say we rode a Ural to another country. My passport expired anyway.

 

Well, CU finally won again.

 

That show changed how they used music in tv shows. I remember being as impressed by the music as by the show when the first episode aired, I hadn't heard that Phil Collins song (in the air tonight?) in the first episode, still like that one. I've been watching it occasionally, on one of the ad supported streaming channels, I only suffer those occasionally. One of the few shows of that era I tried to watch, I didn't watch much tv back then.

 

I store them full, too. I had to replace the gas line before I put it in the trailer and don't remember filling it, obviously forgot to. Blame it on old age. Put a little gas in it today and it fired right up, since it sat in there for a year maybe that was a good thing the carbs were empty. Wouldn't want to do that with the newer bikes (actually this is the newest one) but this thing is ancient tech, could probably sit for 20 years like that and run. I've seen an old bike that did that, an inline 4 Indian that was covered with a patina of rust, but it still worked. Sat outside for enough years the seat, tires and gas line were rotted.

Unreal those animals could fall that far and still get up and run. He might have had a full belly, but I bet that mountain lion was sore for a while. Awesome video.

 

I don't know about that, sounds like you know which end of a wrench to use. I didn't deliberately store the Ural with an empty tank, as I told Bob, don't ask me how I could forget to put gas in it. At least it started right up with some gas and hasn't leaked. I'm pulling the carbs and replacing some gaskets anyway, it had and still has a terrible lean condition, barely runs and backfires badly with a little throttle. I didn't plan on using it this year and was just going to let it sit until I would. That trailer was probably a freezer inside for most of the winter, better than in the garage where warming and freezing cycles would create condensation.

 

What the hell does that mean Stan, you Northern Outlaw....
