Andy,
Shoot!, I remember that damn sign in the window that said "we will be
closed..... " but I couldn't see the dates because the sun had curled the
paper and wasn't legible and all. Dang!! Anyway you musta had a good ride;
it was beautiful today. Well, I was planning on going to sport cycle this
weekend to see if they could check my bike again but I guess I'm on my own.
The bike has been running hot. I called Chris yesterday and I said I think
the carbs were too lean or it was pre-ignition (did I already talk to you
about this? sorry if I did). He confirmed that but asked me to try to fill
the tank up with 93 (or was that 97) octane; anyways high octane gas. He
said something about it being summer and all and that the bike runs cooler
on higher octane gas. I did see something about running high octane gas in
Guzziology. He said try this first and then try to retard the ignition,
mark distributor position first and then move counter-clock-wise. So that
what I'll do this weekend. I plan to drain low octane stuff out first, I
read that somewhere too but maybe that is just a pipe-dream. Best, Bob

Andy,
Shoot, perfect day to ride out to sport cycle and what happened was that
the
 missus and I went to dinner instead. Had a nice time anyway.
I did see that juicy red and black Lemans there. Did you ride her? Bob
