I'm not dead yet!

do it

Just over the bridge in Philly. Looking good.

'mixed', very diplomatic

Not revving at idle anymore, like i mentioned before, my timing is still a little out, but the damn thing is a whole new bike with a new set of plugs and points gap set. The oil was crystal clear, valve train looked spotless, now it's time to ride the piss out of it until i break something...

Still have to work on the timing, would like to set with a strobe, but oddly, the only PROBLEM I found in a tune up was the points gap was NIL, they were so tight they were barely in spec while fully open. This alone made the bike sound a thousand times better. That and the mechanic left the...

Look at this thing, how can you not want one of these things?

Checking out that other build as we speak. I've got to have one. I'll just have to find one in good shape to begin with, add small touches slowly. I assumed these could get 'spensive, but after hearing a few of them on youtube, I got to have one. I'm a kinda big dude, and a new (year old)...

I don't know what it is, but I have been digging these pigs lately. Spent a lot of time checking naked goldwings. This one with all the furniture on it just looks right on. I got to find one. Are replacement parts expensive comparably?

All very good information. That was basically my plan of attack right there. The mechanic did a lot of 'carb work' synching etc, I really don't want it to be the carbs. I will perform the above, including looking for air leaks (didn't think of that one myself, and highly likely, the boots...

That's the idea, go through a thorough tune up procedure, just need direction of where to sniff out the problem. It backfires a little when warm and the exhaust smells a little like gasoline. I had assumed it was running rich or float bowls. This is frustrating as the $700 I spent on work...

Figure this has to have happened to someone else here, help me located the gremlin and shorten my frustration. I paid someone a lot of money, and this problem developed after they 'fixed' it. 73 cb350 four So here's the deal, once it warms up and choke is fully open, after a few miles when i...

You can drive a car over too, not judgmental! Hell i walk there!

Poor promo planning BUT TWO WHEELED THURSDAY, show up on a motorbike, hell a bicycle and enjoy happy hour prices for all youse. $1.25 'macrodomestic' cans, $2.50 Kenzingers, Scarlett lady and Brooklyn Pennant ale till they're gone. Drafts are all $4! Who knows, may throw a shot special in there...

I was wondering that, the thread is titled 'banter', I'm not seeing a whole lot of banter. Met the http://www.chinonthetank.com guys, mentioned they may make it out after their ride. Couple of them are from the neighborhood.
