My ride for 2006 is Finished
04/18/06 at 03:47:29

Made some pictures of my ride for 2006 and did the first runs over the weekend.
Saterday:

Checked the tyrepressures, filled the bowl with fresh fuel, pulled the choke, pressed the startbutton and the beast came to live after hybernating for 6 months.

Sounds awfull with the HD FSX muffler, not too loud, excactly what I wanted.

Took her out for a spin( some backfiring at gearchanges) till the oil was at 80 degrees C.

Crancked the trottle wide open, man what a sound, like an old BSA thumper.

Adjusted idle, 1100 RPM and mixture 2 1/2 turn out.
Went to the nearby motorshops including the HD dealer and got lots of comments.

Q: Why do you have a HD muffler?
A: Because they are cheap, 60 euros including shipping from the States, they did not believe me.

Sunday: no ride

Monday:

Made a round trip of about 120 KM through the flat Dutch country side. Enjoyed every second of it.

I want to paint my Savage the same yellow color that you used - it looks great! I am a person who can't pick out colors from a color chart, so please let me know what brand and color you chose, and do you think the paint is available in the states?
