I live in Baltimore Maryland. I like to put the bike on the truck and take it to Pennsylvania or West Virginia. Route 28 in WV is a nice ride especially as you get further South. But beware in West Virginia of maniacal drivers and gravel on asphalt. I took a very nasty spill there because of gravel on the road at a sharp corner. Outside State College and up to Wellsboro are nice in PA.

Unfortunately, I have been having a wrench fest of my own. My cam chain broke and did some nasty damage. The engine is in the machine shop having some broken bolts removed. I don't expect it back soon. This rant is about my Honda V-30. What kind of idiot Japanese engineer designed the carburation system on that thing. Trying to press in the four carbs at the same time is next to impossible. I want myt KLR back, at least I can work on that without throwing a tantrum. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Lance, Take the carb boots off (minus clamps) and soak them in hot water for about 5-12 minutes-- (real hot); this will soften them and make them easier to install. Should slip right in. Jim [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
