and yet another reason to believe we are long lost twin brothers, Mike! It really seems to work well, and the single fire changed the sound of the idle. Could have been the 13 year old coil and ignition were getting weak?
270 miles is what.... about 1 tank of fuel?
Can't wait to meet the crew. Hopefully this fall, but not for sure yet.

Us too, Mike.
Right now we have 2-3 weeks left on the project, and then nothing.
I'm sure there will be work for the fall, but if it's a new employer it is a pain to get time off.
So we will have to see.
Is 51 too young to retire? I got so much I wanna do.
Give me my pension now and I promise I will go back to work when I turn 75.

Hey y'all, didn't know where to post this but thought it be as good a place as any, sorry if it 's not. Just bought my first evo a couple of months ago. Picked it up in the SF area and rode it back to FTW, TX. What a great ride. If any all get the chance to ride the California highway US 1 down the coast, I'd highly recommend it. The bikes an 88 Electra Glide Classic 85th anniversery model. Bought it from the origanal owner and he kept it cherry. Paint is like it came off the showroom floor. He had the stage II put in when he bought it, said it was like a dog when he rode it hme from the dealer. First evo I've owned. I've been a classic guy most of my life. Pans and shovel with one iron head sporster in there. Got to say I like the way the evo handles and that electric start when did they come up with that. All and all it's damn good motor and I like the fact that I can still wrench on it, don't need any specialized computer system to diagnose anything. Soon as the heat breaks here in TX I'm planning on taking a little ride on it until then it's just around town.
Take it easy...

We're having one of our rare summer thunderstorms today. We always have the threat of T-storms in the summer but they rarely make it this far west on the mountain. It's been pouring off and on since dawn today.......glad I have a garage to work on the bike in. Been making headway, still savin pennies towards the stator/regulator parts.
