Living in the republic of mass there are no roads with out people, lol. I do enjoy 2 am rides for that reason. Though at that hour there is a good chance you are sharing the road with some wild life.
Well did a final tune last night, set the timing, tuned the carb. Just got to check the choke for cold start. I'm very happy with how well it runs. I should have the tires and rims back today from being mounted and ballenced. Plates should be here tomorrow, then I can do a few runs down the...
