Good it decided to not let go during the event, would have lost the good leadership by Chris…
Better to be lucky sometimes…

It would have hurt…… We all (4 of us) needed his eyes to read the route sheet!

Today I went to move the K3 (that my son rode). The throttle turned about 90 degrees before engaging the carbs. Looked under the tank and I can see it’s about to let go! Timing is everything……

John, I had you covered. I was carrying a throttle cable and throttle tube, go figure.

Looks great John! Good for you.
I went for a ride. Michigan is nice but it’s not Northumberland.
My bike is still covered with gravel dust.
I measured 50 mpg with your Canadian ethanol free hi-test from Woodstock to home.
Potent stuff.

John, I almost missed the background in this photo while I was ogling the foreground.
I cant quite see all of the number plates on your garage door but I expect maybe there are 10.
Now I know where I should put my two.
