The fine line we pine...

I don't pine for anything. I ether go out and get it or leave it there to stink.

Just outside of town, the line grows wider.

I live smack dab in the middle of a city with significant vehicle traffic. It takes me a half-hour to get to those wide-open roads, where the horse can run free.

I remember that. Left LA and never looked back. Traffic was miserable in 75/76. When I go that way it's like I'm heading into a sea of humanity. The smog hits you as you're coming into Corona. No fun.

Put my 127.5's in and found one emulsion tube has a hole I missed or the solder fell out. The plugs before the jet change, float adjustment and sync were showing lean. Now it's rich. Can't talk to you without talking to me. ONE THING AT A TIME. The aftermarket 130's lie. It's a little over 100 miles to my place so I'll check them when I get home. I may have to go back to the 65 pilots. I may drill my 60 to 62.5 and try that first. We'll see.

BTW, $11.99 for a set of four. The guy was looking up the jets and I handed the printout I got on line. He said he didn't know they sold them that way. Hmmmm.

Cheap for the quality of OEM Mikuni parts!

After installing my 127.5 mains and setting the air screws I settled in for the night.
Everyone had gone to bed but three girls Kayla's age that was spending the night decided to fight. Craig has to get up at 4AM and drive 3/4 hours to work, my daughter was worn out and I had to listen to it for about ten minutes. ENOUGH. I walked in there, asked them what do they think they're doing? It's time for BED. Anymore nonsense, the TV will go off and two little girls can sleep on the couch, GOOD NIGHT. All quiet. I could hear Kayla telling them Grandpa never gets mad...We'd better be quiet.
Before I left in the morning I decided to get Kayla's little bike going again after 2 years. She was afraid of it then but she is big enough to ride it now. I rode into town, got some carb spray, gas container and a gallon of gas. AZ wanted $16 for one (the SHT you say) I got one at True Value for $12. For a $5 piece of plastic? Oh well; cleaned out the carb, put in gas and 2 stroke oil. SHE RUNS. Kayla is jazzed.
One little girl looks up at me and said "my grandpa isn't like you. All he does is lay on the couch.He says he's getting old" I told her you're only as old as you think you are.
Here's some clips of the little bike and my plugs after I got home with a couple shameless shots of the little one thrown in.
