Then it was summer

Well I know it's been a long while since my last post. I've been meaning to post my rides. So this is my summer catch up post.

Uncle Wally and I've gone on roughly 4 weekend rides. My first ride I went solo and ran out of gas in Bancroft. Ran it up north near Van Buren too.

Few others for summer.

There is nothing to do but wait

Well it's the shortest days and long cold ass days and nights part of the year. It doesn't bother me except that I'm up north, which means it's about an ten degrees cooler all the time.

I've been doing battery trickle charging every so often. Looking on eBay, craigslist, chopcult and the jockey journal every so often trying to find the right gen shovel or panhead. It seems like nothing is going on anywhere.

The govt ended the EUC for everyone in the country. They say that's an estimated 400M pulled out of the economy every week. If that's true it's worse than the actual govt shutdown was on it.

Out in Colorado they legalized pot. They sold a million dollars in one day. Crazy money there. So I picked up some weed stocks. Maybe I can make some market money, since that's the seemingly only way to make money, cuz there's no damnd jobs in the country anymore thanks to globalization.

Anyway. Happy New year. Drink some beer.

Love Chuck

New jets

Welp... it's the best time of year for some. For me, it's the beginning of winter. However, I've been busy.

I decided my carb needed new jets and not spring for a needle too. So I ended up ordering a 48 and a 45 pilot, as well as a 160. 180 and a 185 main jet.

I had 45/175 going and upped to 48/185. So far seems good at 2.5 turns out on the idle. But it's getting colder.

Running again

Just in time for the last few weeks before the snow flies. That first ride is so exhilarating.

Gasket and cams

Well finally got the gasket. Turns out I already had one. Argh... now I have an extra. Oh well I'll use the thicker one.

Probably the best day

Today was an excellent day. Uncle wally and I set out on a north bound ride. Up to Presque Isle, then across to Ashland. Came back on rt 11 south. Now that's the woods.

Had to take dads Honda again. My bike is running, but needs to have the gasket put in the can case cover.

A small problem

A couple weeks ago I ordered some struts which didn't fit. There is a picture. So I had to send them back.

I also messed up my rocker arm and had to get a new rocker arm spacer and spring.

Unfortunately I'm still waiting on my new gasket. Luckily I've got dads 74 honda cb four to ride.

Clean ride

Had to clean it up after all those miles yesterday. Gas, oil, grease cleaned off.

Million dollar view

Went for a nice long ride today. Should've taken more pictures but when I'm having fun I always forget.

So here we have about seven million dollars worth of photos.

I plan on taking them down to the bank on Monday.

A nice cruise today

Today Uncle Wally and I went for a ride. About 76 miles down and another back. Saw Mount Katahdin at a scenic stop.

We had to get lunch, so we stopped at a fine diner in Sherman next to Patton. There's a bike club that's in Matahwamkeg that we went by, but I wasn't paying attention so I missed it.

Anyway here are a few pictures to go with the story.
