then pt2ndb ... <HSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS>

Thinking about it, riding out with all these grizzled modified bikes might be a bad influence on my sissy white bike. Next thing you know she'll be saying "shucks" and "darn" and coming home with a new tattoo or something! What would the neighbors think???  

Southpaw, mine can pass for stock   (nothing much shows at all).  

It is all well mannered and gentille actin' too ....

Now, Lancer's bikes might turn your white bike a shade or two but my Silver Surfer won't bother it a bit.

Hi Southpaw

Goiing through Chattanoga is as close to a strait shot as I can get.  If I can break away Thursday maby I could put us some Beef on the grill for lunch just to break-up the ride for ya a bit.

I rode mine to Nashville today and it ran Great ... But it only got 42 mpg.  Late last summer it was doing close to 60 mpg .... (59.5 just wouldn't make it to 60).  

I'm looking on E-Bay now for another Carb.  But If I had to leave today it would be get fuel ever 70 to 80 miles.

AnyBody got any ideas what makes a carb. act that way  "Please pass the Ideas along"   I'm thing of doing away with the CV type and going for a direct slide.  I did find a company that has manifolds ($30) to fit anything from 30 mm to 50 mm to our bikes and that's a perty wide spread.   But fixing the original is still the easy fix.   Yea I'm not sure what to do with it.   Its late night now I'll take it off in the morning and do some mesuring and maby some biding tomorrow.  I suppect the throdle cable woin't work with a direct slide with out modifing it.   ???????????

As it looks right now, I'll be getting in sometime on wed afternoon but I'll be in the luxury suite with the rest of the high class people.

Kel,
You still have "friends in low places" (camping), I can meet you Wed. I think my Son will be with me, now that he has a girlfriend his bike and the old man have to take a back seat, so not sure about him. Whin I was 17 I would have been rideing the girlfriend on the bike too and see you later Dad.

I'm still not sure what day I can get away .  

Kelly I hope to tent with ya or at least up there by the creek .   If anybody needs a tent I have several.   Not sure if that BlueRidge brother is comming  yet, the week before we leave I'll  get a "For Sure or Not, from him"

I  have been expermenting on my carb.  The thought occured to me "What / How does that enricher thing work"  Well,  I took it off with the motor running  and  the thing ran BETTER .!!!!!    I put it back together without the diafram or spring in it.   It was running way rich to begin with  and now is has a softer/mellower note to it (runs just fine).  Doin't know what the MPG is now but it can't be any worse !

I'm still in the market for a Non-CV type carb , been looking at the 38mm Mikuni's  they seem to be popular and plentifull. (e-bays full of them).   Anybody know what Throddle cable works with the Mikuni's  and the Savage ?
