    Agreed. You can't have a good story without adversity.

    Ride on!

    I just think that it doesn't have what it needs when I have the wife is on it. When it is just me, then it is OK. OK meaning that I can live with it but not overly excited about.

    Chucktx has a 88cu motor. He weights about 325. Don't know what his wife weights. But he has a set of low end cams n it. It runs good and pulls good and he passes fine with no trouble.
    I've rode with him for years.

    Passed my first vehicle yesterday. It was a semi and he was only going about 50. I passed him quickly and with power to spare - had it going about 70 when I went around him. Not bad for a 35 year old motor.:D

    Been raining here all night, but rain moving out, watching radar, about gone. Wife and daughter on spring break this week, have a little cabin over in pigeon forge for a few days. Soon as the rain gone, maybe another hour, heading out on bike to meet them. Should be about 100 miles over there and a nice ride through Hot Springs, Newport Tenn, into Sevierville. Gonna check out the bass pro shop and smokey mtn knife works while I am there...

    When I lived in California, people who lived up in the Pacific Northwest used to say it would rain 9 months a year practically every day. Must be a lot of problems with mold in homes up there.:rolleyes:

    MC, have a fun, safe ride!
