This morning, Franklin,Tasmania.

That's a lovely pic mate! Tassie is motorcycle heaven, well, until you've ridden all the way around and then you wonder what you'll do after lunch? ;D

What's the story on the old building, Vern? Was it a jail?
. No, those are just security bars over the windows. This is located in a small town in Georgia that was a big cotton producer long ago. I have some great photos of Pandora inside the still operating cotton gin that I took a few years ago

the neighborhood had a social distancing parade to help cheer folks up.  lots of people waved from their front porches wearing smiles.  glad the parade kept a decent speed of about 15 mph so my sohc didn't overheat.

That would have been 200 euro each per person fine here in Italy. Two different world and timeline right now. We were two to three weeks ahead of the NY city timeline.
If you want to see the future. Look at Italy and Spain local news.

That is a bit of an exaggeration Terry. Maybe some people have ridden all the way round in a day but hell! that would be a BIG day. Then there are the roads that are not on the circumference.
I have an old cobber who lives on Norfolk Island which is 8klm long by 5klm a thousand klm off shore wide with a population of 1800 people who all know each other. He told me there is a motorcycle club on the island and there are even a members who own Harley's.

Ha ha, I was just having a dig mate, Tassie is probably my favourite place in Oz. once all this CV bullsh1t is over, I'm gonna take a week off and ride onto the ferry and do some quality miles on roads I've driven in cars and only wished I had a bike to ride when I was there. We'll have to catch up for a ride, and a beer! ;D

Had also a test ride today after work at home, or maybe from home.
Voltage readings on voltmeter between gauges, last adjustment OK. I had a bad battery before causing over voltage last year before giving up this year. So I had to readjust regulator back up in voltage since I had tried to reduce max voltage.

Today more focus on fuel screw settings and verify last richer needle settings (1 notch higher).

Carbs have now verified pilot jets, needle jets, needle heights and probably main jets. Fuel screws have an area of 2 - 2 1/4 turns out to decide, probably the middle.
 I start to feel like home here! :D

Thanks!
Yamiya has kits for CB750.
Shortly after I ordered mine, they introduced same paint with flake. That must look even better in the sunshine.
The olive green is nice too.

But bike looked better with 4-4.
This exhaust however unleash the power and sounds fantastic!!

Rolled the K4 "Big Bang" bike out last Friday for a Happy Hour ride....





It was a beautiful day, bike was running good, having a nice ride and all of a sudden the rear end felt a little "squirrelly"!  After about 5 seconds, I knew what the issue was and didnt even bother about pulling over, had a flat tire.  I turned around and headed back to the house but after a quater mile or so,  it seemed a little dangerous, I pulled the bike over and called my wife to rescue me....




Once home it didnt take long to find the issue, damn nail in the tire.  This Bridgestone BT45 is over 7yrs old, been a great tire, but is done now.  A new tire and tube ordered.  BTW - $111 shipped from Amazon seems to be a good price for the BT45.
