I hope to do that much and more on the ‘75F.  It was a mild day here yesterday, so was going to take it out, but gas streamed out of the #1 carb overflow.  It has run a little rough the last couple of times I had it out, which it never does.  Now I know where to start looking for the cause.  That was the carb whose bowl was knocked off by my leg in the impact with the pickup.  I didn’t see any damage when I got it back up and running last spring, but I didn’t pull the carb rack for a good look either.  It’s been running great until now, so hopefully I don’t find spreading cracks or other damage.  It takes a helluva whack to pop a bowl off without sliding the clip off first. Will try to get to it this weekend.

Here is the link to some AMA and IBA sanctioned charity rides to benefit "A Special Wish".  For kids with terminal illness and disability
The name has a nice ring to it 😁

They are planning Ride events for 2020 already.  Including "insane week" for anyone who wants to put 3kmi on their bike within 48-72 hours.

122 miles yesterday, this time without the sidecar. 

Frank, since you are in Canada, it should be 100 km, not miles, just saying :)
