How about wished I was on it? Does that count? I took my XR to get new treads and the bike developed a death wobble. Never did get it figured out. All the way home at 75+ the XR would almost slap the tank but I just pushed on. When I get home I have that feeling like I was on a boat all day, you know the feeling? Big dualsport ride tommorow but I wish I were riding the Hawk.

Is the clip-on master link up to the challenge on these bikes? How do you like the top case?

clippy

I think clip-on m/l will hold just fine, top case is awesome, but when filled up bike handles a little funny.

80 miles round trip to deliver a gun sold to a fine Texan with cash.
45 miles round trip to do a parts run (nick knacks for the DRZ SM build)
162 miles round trip to meet my wife at her CHL course and ride home with her.

Rode the bike, went to the range and shot 4 of my pistols, and liquidated one for funds to buy another. GOOD DAY all in all.

Started it to move fuel through the system to keep carbs happy, after 3 month on tender and no ride time she needed to idle for a bit.

That's what i did on the VTR today

Nothing...100+ Temps is just too hot. I will think about riding her though.

The other day though took the SH to the dentist...best ride to the docs ever. On the way home cruised through the park since it is the only twisty road for miles and has the added bonus of lots of ladies running in tight outfits!

New DID Chain install GOLDIES!

Drove past my SH going to work in my Murano in sadness but was loving that my crotch is dry and cool in the AC. Talking to Maniac about buying his Corbin Seat/cowl.

Ridic Hot in Maryland right now HEEEBUS. Rolling a 120 mile loop tonight to pick up plates from a guy who just bought my Audi, hopefully it cools down a bit.

Happy riding

Tore it down to the carbs, made some changes, put it back together, and now it basically can idle and that is it... I am failing in an epic manner..

Happy 4th everyone!

I went through my carbs per discussion with 8541Hawk today. I can't believe how much better this bike runs already!! Mike, you are the man, and thank you so much for taking the time to help me get a baseline and being patient with me, since I tend to ramble on a bit!!
