Somehow after work yesterday Sinister and myself went on a 10 hour trip and picked up a mini lot of CB550's, miscellaneous parts and also a complete inverted front end:





Also stopped at Bombers Burrito Bar in Schenectady, NY that was pretty tasty.

Will be posting more updates soon. :)

Same to you! Honestly we had so many recommendations on where to eat that we will have to make a trip back soon to check some off the list.

No, I had not read Nick's reply (until now) to some guy name Kamil (not on my friend list so I wasn't aware of that response).  Since you're being shy, according to Nick, "No numbers. Coil wouldn't give accurate RPM reading, basically just did afr and rideability check to make some jet changes in the carbs."

We moved the needle one clip and dropped main jet one size just to make it "perfect". She was running pretty well but when having a dyno and two perfectionists we made those two tweaks and ran again to confirm it was better than "good"

I have always wanted to go to an f1 race. Closest I have come was spending a day at Pista di Fiorano while they were driving one of their old v12s.. not sure why, but the whole city echoed with the sound of its exhaust  :-X

I'm privileged to live less that an hour from COTA.   Have been to both F1 and MotoGP at that fabulous track. F1 is a party!!
My brother races SCCA, (amateur) we'll be there in March.

Let it be known, he doesn't use them as "traps". He uses them as "transfer containers". Don't you, CandyA$$?  ;D ;D ;D

All he needs to do is blast 1 in half using a Smith Model 29 with HOT hand loads and he'll never look back.

Soon enough he'll be catching and releasing.... but before he releases, he will whisper.... "But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?"
