Default Good Ride Today

Nothing big but me and some good friends went to north Georgia for a good all day ride. First good ride with the new pipes. I changed my needle shimming and main jet on my carb and it made a huge difference. Need to do a little work on the int. jet/idle mixture, but I am pretty close now. Good day overall though. I should also mention that my C&C seat was good all day for about 300 miles. It was also funny because me and my neighbor on a nightrain (and no windshields) were out running two electra glides all day. Here is a crappy pic in Dawsonville.

sometimes it's just nice to jump on the bike and go. I rode 400 miles for no other reason than it was a nice day and i wanted to buy some beef jerky. ran solo just for the hell of it.

Don't feel too bad, its been raining on and off for the last week or so.
They have also been talking about snow, and getting a little on the ski hills (it doesn't last a day) around here.
So its time to start planning and collecting the parts needed for this winters hibernation mods.
