Sorry for the delay.   Had to take the "Family" vacation this past week .


OK
Will you put me in for Monday through Friday nights ?   5 nights  $22 (+ or - ) a bit.   I'll bring a sleeping bag and if we get tight for space I can do with a spot of floor space if it will save us some $$$$ as as group ?   If we need to switch to a smaller room , I'm still Ok with floor space for the $ of Tent space (Doin't even have to bring a tent)  !

I'm also OK with bring a Tent if going to a smaller room  works out better.  

Up untill time I leave the house Monday morning I'm flexable !  I plan to get there in plenty of time to light the grill  Monday night a slap a piece of meat on it ( maby a baked tater too.)
Anybody else want the coals while there hot its ok !

We stayed in "Sky Valley,Ga" last week, just south of Cashiers.   That hole area is full of neet roads with 55mph speed limits.!!

The factory seat hurt me too ....  I went to a Two piece Harley seat that bolts together in the midle to become one.   I think its off a SoftTail ... its as wide as I am and "Just So Fine to Sit on !".    300 miles a day is no problem anymore. (I still think Harley Motors are a great disign but poorly made)!

Well ....

Maby Saturday night (if Dave stays) , I could get a piece of floor space and leave out Sunday Morning ?



Anybody working on "Day Rides" yet ?

With thought toward next year I was looking at The Blue Ridge M/C Campground mentioned again by O/F.  We spent a few nights at this place a few years ago and it is a very nice place to stay, with the added advantage of having 1 & 2 man cabins or camping area which makes it easier for making reservations individually.



BLUE RIDGE MOTORCYCLE CAMPGROUND

We start accepting Cabin Bookings March 1st for the season.

The cabins were designed, built, and furnished for the comfort of two people while traveling by motorcycle. Eight of our cabins have two twin-size beds that make it quite convenient for a couple of guys to share a cabin. The other cabins are furnished with one queen bed. Cabin rental includes sheets, pillows, blankets, and bath towels so there is no need to pack all of that camping gear on your bike while touring the beautiful mountains. The current nightly rate is $45.00 U.S. per cabin. Weekends are 2-night minimum for (Fri/Sat) or (Sat/Sun). Due to the popularity of our cabins, we suggest that you call to book your dates. Our phone number is (828)235-8350. Check-in time is 2:00 p.m. and check-out time is Noon. (**  http://blueridgemotorcyclecamp.com/# )
The cabins have windows, lights and electric heat. Some of the cabins open onto the bank of the Pigeon River while the others have a view of the clear trout pond. The bathhouse is centrally located with separate showers and private dressing areas. Laundry facilities are also located between the separate bathhouses for men and women.

I'm so confused.......Who am I supposed to send payment to for the room?  And I DO like the idea for next year:  the Blue Ridge campground, sleep 3 for $15 each per night, can't sleep on the ground anywhere that cheap!

Do I hear a Frog


snickering ?  or is that my imagaination ???

That BlueRidgeCampGround   is at the end of the Blue Ridge Parkway.  I camped there once and the little creek and the Clubhouse  make it nice.

I put an original type head gasket on yesterday , and rode about 200 miles today without  issue.    I checked  4 of the local bike shops hopeing to find a new(er) S-40 for a  spare  but there anin't none .


Only averaging 48 mpg and still plowing black smoke when I twist the throdle.   " I want 60 mpg "    

So If I'm getting the highest idle speed with the mixture screw  1/4 turn from bottomed out  then what do I need to change ?   How many sizes down in what (which) Jet ????   Only expert , sciencetiffic , no joke , really will work   ansures  please .!!!!

Lancer

Thanks for the Advice , Changing the cam is whats going on .

It seem the blance between the jet sizes and cam lift is a delicate thing !

That High dome piston thrown into the mix has change things also.   Also I've noticed a slight vibration that wasn't there befor , piston weight ?

Anway  ...  tinkering  with it  (search for perfection) is part of the fun of having one !

I've order  one each of the next two sizes smaller pilot and also the next smaller main jet.

Comming off an idle it blows black smoke while barking the motor.   I suppect the smaller space the mixture has to compress to is the main reason for the "rich" behavor but I'm only  guessing .  

Stock carb. (yes)
