I have fought, and successfully defeated, various electrical gremlins.
Doc passed inspection yesterday, and I hit the 500 mile mark, after
rebuild. Already changed oil once, carb has been rejetted, still a
little too rich. Probably go lower still on main jet.
I have 7 days to get 1500 more miles, change oil and retighten
everything on Doc before the 19th.
Piece of cake, yes?
Gotta run...time to ride! WoooHooo!

You've been thru too much to let that happen. If you were gonna hang it up,
you'd have done it a few years ago.

That's true. I'm not fooling anybody. I think I scared doc when I
slapped a for sale sign on him for a couple days, tho. lol

Welllll......I have the weekend off for that party down by you. The
desire to travel is high, funds are low. So I have a table at a local
swap meet that weekend.
BUT, once again, we are planning to spend next summer traveling. Tori
has found a camp in Texas she wants to go to for a week, then she
wants to go to a *dude ranch* somewhere...and get me on a horse. :-/
I think I have a lead on a trailer I can borrow for the summer. I have
NO intention of spending next summer in NY, and every intention of
hitting OK at some point.
You know me and my *plans*. LOL I'll keep ya posted on how all this
pans out.

Call it a reality check. You still own him (or he still owns you).

Good deal, I need it after today. I'm trying to get ready for a rally next
weekend & have too much to do. Not as bad as building the sidecar in a
week's time, but still too much.
