Thanks to Graham's hospitality and mechanical wizardry, my '91 CB750 now runs
better than it ever has since I bought her with 67K miles for $1000 in January.
Almost 84K miles now, and almost 11,000 since I started this trip in June, and
even with about 200lbs in gear, yesterday I averaged 40mpg
I forgot to mention, Lie's front tire gets very little wear - it
seldom touches the ground, should be good for 84,000 miles as well!

the weight on the back is countered by a 90 ton concrete block he has

Reminds me I need to synch my own carbs; need to put a manometer together,
or might see if the differential pressure gauge works with vacuum. It
should, vacuum is just lowered pressure...

Carb sync plus: spark plug spacing + oil&filter change + chain tension, clean,
& lube + a heavy coating of Graham's patented garage majick motorcycle fumes +
the touch of a motorcycle master = one very happy Nighthawk. :)

Come now Lie, the truth ...
We found that one carb was on backwards and upside down. Being two
real astute males it took us less than two hours to notice that. We
exchanged the gas in the crank case with the oil in the gas tank, got
rid of the chattering cam chain, replaced the radiator
Lol

Are you sure those were just motorcycle fumes? Sounds like there were some

Very very cool - I'm sure a lot of us regret not taking a trip like
his when we had the chance - I know I do.
I'd like to know what he's done to his shocks - I'd hate to be in
front of him at night - the headlight angle has to be right into the
eye's of the car ahead of him.

Generally I feel that what ever someone is into then great for you. But the

I'm not selective, I give "the wave" to everyone. Harleys, cruisers,
crotchrockets, mopeds, bicycles, smartcars... With that last one the wave is
usually accompanied by uncontrollable giggling. We're all in the same boat
if a truck hits us.

I don't much discriminate either, though I do find that I get snubbed more
often by the 'loud and proud' crowd than the more stock Harley/cruiser
crowd. Been given the finger by a couple, though. I just shrugged it off and
carried on.
Not much I can do about some arse who wants to be a twit.

Yea I give a wave to everyone with 2 or three wheels under them. True the
harley dressers are friendlier. Its just the attitude of superiority that gets
old. Especially since those bikes are such pieces of crap, and you average
rider of one doesn't know how to lean a bike.

most harley riders don't answer my salutation, but I keep waving. Some do
reply, so don't generalize. But those could be guys that just recently were

I gotta say - this is a hot ticket issue with me - to paraphrase - if you've
got the guts to get on two (or three) wheels - I'm waving. Ok - I do draw
the line at Mopeds -but the scooters that look like sport bikes usually get
me confused so I wave anyway.
I notice that if I get unwaved /

When you're friendly, live in the boonies & don't see other folks very often, everyone waves!It's also a "Jeep" thing with the CJ / Wrangler crowd."You meet the nicest people on a Honda"B-550 On 08/11/11, Javier Garcia wrote:The other day I waved a guy on a lawn mower he just laugh at loud..
