christmas is always a busy mess having so many kids so i have been very busy.

did two things this weekend.

changed the starter relay. (the old one was just starting to not be reliable)
and put a 150 jet in the carb.

things i learned this weekend:
1. you MUST have a special tool to remove the starter relay. fortunately a mechanic lives around the corner from me so i borrowed his. the tool required is long and thin with a bend in the middle. you need also a shallow 10 socket with a swivel.

2. i learned that it was VERY EASY to change the jet.  and a 150 makes a big difference in power.

3. i learned that if the fuel tank goes on very easily, it means that the rubber cover for one of the tank mounts is on the ground.

and for those of you in snow, i rode to work this morning.

well, now the plan to change to a pod airfilter has been put to the fore front.
why?
because a side cover fell off my bike this morning on the ride to work and was promptly flattened by a semi.

yeah. i get my motivation to do things from strange places.

also, in january when it once again becomes to cold to ride, i plan on buying a blank rear fender and turning my bike into a one seater.
of course, then i'll have to paint the tank to match the rear fender. and either remove the front fender or paint it too. and get a new rear light kit of some type.

and then i need to replace the windsheild.

I've been working different hours lately, haven't posted in months.  I saw Sunny a couple of afternoons ago coming home from work.  I would ride mine to work, but I'm too much of a wuss.  It's darn cold at 3:30 in the morning.

Welcome back! I've got to get started on my winter Savage list...
