Thanks for the compliments guys.

Here are my 3 videos of the 2 Stroke Extravaganza

I wish that Barber event wasn't so far away. Looks like a massive gathering with so much going on. Maybe in the next year or two. Need a toy hauler. Yep.

Thanks John. Those things are spectacular.

It was about 72 degrees today. We won't have too many more days like this. So...

Lick Observatory. Rode up with my neighbor Jimmy Africa Twin and Jeff FJR from Tracy. Jimmy went down the San Jose side. Jeff and I rode back to The Junction.

Endless spring weather this winter makes it difficult to not go for a ride.

The Junction was hopping which is great to see!

Yesterday at The Quail

It was a great show as always.

This was the best weather I have ever seen out there. My only complaint about the weather is it seemed like every time I started my bike this microclimate blue fog would come and settle over me. I think it is my personality.

As you may notice in my video I did many startups of my bike (pared down quite a bit) per requests by the good people at the show. There was a lot of spectacular "little bit of everything" motorcycles there.

Enjoy the video with lots of photos!

I haven't ridden this since rebuilding the carbs, smaller pilot jets, and vacuum synching the carbs. Oh and since I put new rubber on x months ago.

Looking good Ken. How is she running with the carbs rebuilt.
We are just in from a spin around the mountains. Very wet along the coast.

Hi Paul. Nice to hear from you.

The bike ran fantastic. It seems more responsive on the low-end, very crisp, and vac synching the 4 carbs helps a great deal. The operator is out of riding shape and had very sore wrists with a difficult time pulling the clutch in toward the end of the short ride. Need to do something about that.

It's great you guys got out for a ride. :smt023 Where's the photos? I need to head up to Alice's one of these days (when it is not wet up there). Seems like I haven't been up that way for a couple of years. :smt011
