    It's Alive !!

    Well it's a new battery in the Rat Bike. Been almost 2 years since it's been started due to me breaking my knee back 2015 and then my wrist in 2016.

    Getting her ready to go back to the track if I don't break anything else, forgot how good she sounds.

    Love oil cooled bikes. I think I'll start a list and call it OC 325

          Wait...you're from Abilene, TX?

          Nice start-up BTW. I have a liking to the GS1100E.

              Open megaphones sound great on inline fours. What are you moving by the ignition cover? Is it the timing plate?

                  The only bike I've haven't laid down is the Rat Bike and had her like 25 years now. Took the B King to the 1/8 last week and ran against a big tire Kawasaki and that made me want to get the old gal back out there.

                      Got to Dyess in 92 and retired in 02. Worked in AGE, 196 Trailer maintenance and was a "GOD" as facility manager for the Group Commander. If they wanted money they had to go through me, everybody wanted to be my best friend.

                          I blew up the timing advancer over 10 years ago and just bolted a filler gauge to the timing plate to set my timing, also replaced the rotor allowing fixed timing.

                                  Hit our 1/8 track on Friday T&T and man did it feel weird ? Front end felt loose like a bicycle, I guess riding the B King for the past 2 years spoiled me. First run I took it easy like a 8 second run just to get use to it again. 2nd run I put it on the 2 step and it spun bad like 7 second run so I took out another spring and ended up running just 3 oem springs in the lockup and 2 step at 6K. 3rd run it hooked better and ran straight at 6.35 so I lower the Hookup tire pressure from 13 psi to 10 psi and my last run was 6.24.

                                  Best part the bike is running straight as an arrow and getting faster after 2 year break. Next time the nitrous will be on and I'll be back in the 5's again.

                                          Looks like another GS at the track, haven't seen him on T&T nights. He dials in at 6.13 so it should be a good race.

                                              This guy looks like my team mate and good friend Sonny with his T shirt hanging out of his leathers riden an old GS and also going 6.0's to high 5.90's.
                                              And how do you post big pics?

                                                          You would think self preservation would be sufficient for that, people shouldn't have to be told those sorts of things.
