haha, i haven't been around for the last few months, but it's good to see that some things never change, like Travis being the butt of ALL jokes.

So what've you been up to? Get that bike back together yet?

I've been running a lot in my little spare time. gotta get my fat ass back into surfing shape.

yeah, it's running, has been since new years. still needs some bits and pieces to look respectable and a dent pull/paint job on the tank, but it's mechanically sound. Had to get a new battery, sprung for the little Odyssey 310. I'm still playing with the jetting, but it's tough to get it right when it's cold out. right now it idles well and pulls strong enough to surprise me, but i can feel a flat spot sometimes when I'm cruising and up shift. I can't tell if it is rich or lean in the flat spot though.
