You ought to come out to bike night sometime. Riding seasons not around much longer!

i realllllly don't want too. i'm hoping i'll either get a raise where i'm at or just to find a job closer to where i'm going to live that pays more. besides, i have a wacky ass mono-shock plan i'd love try out, using the stock swing arm, so i can keep that stubby look of the earlier cb750's.

You can't blame me.

Well keith, when you decide to sell it, you just send me an email telling me that all it needs is the carbs cleaned and a rider, and I may just partake.

You guys are in for a treat.
BUT
you have to wait for me to get back from fayetteville for pictures.
I did upload one onto facebook though, so if you're friends with me, check it out. It's hilarious.
So, clip in position 3, 125 jet seems to be doing me juuuuust fine for right now. I'm digging it.
I also made me a quick fab luggage rack for the trip so I wouldn't have to wear a backpack.
See you guys in a couple days!
LUCK LUCK LUCK, I need it!

My super sweet luggage rack

And Oops, I broke my exhaust off. That's ok, because the muffler was much more quiet when intalled with bungees on the back of my bike.

Sounds mean though. LOL.

Runs the same, other than I seem to have an increase in torque. I don't have an explanation on that.
Gas mileage varied from 51 to 58 depending on speed and terrain.
Better than all the guys there except ben, and he rides an 07 firebolt.
Put 760 miles on it according to my tripmeter.

Bike looks stellar there dollface.

Did it come off while going down the road? Mine made a huge popping sound when mine did.

51-58mpg is f-ing awesome. My 850 only gets 38. I'm jealous.... of the bike. Yea thats it.

Glad you had fun!!  8)

No, it cracked after day 1, we stopped and clamped it, then rode through to eureka.
The next morning another guy said "hey, that clamp looks like it moved" so i loosened it and it just fell off.  :D

It's been a long while guys. Well, I'm just in time to post a picture of her now before I tear it all down and rebuild!





Jumbled mess, I'm sorry. I'll be making a new thread for the do-over. Got some props for her at our local show Greaserama. That was cool. I know she's greasey, but It's all legit grease.
