Default My Mothers Day Present
We got my bike running.


I rode around the block.


I'm kinda in shock. First time I've been on it in 9 months. Thought I'd forgot how to ride.

We drilled out the jets, starts right up without the choke.

Are waiting on main jets, but it runs.


It runs and I'm riding again.


Wonders never cease. I'm a happy camper on Mothers Day.

Thanks. I don't know whether to scream or cry. We've spent so many hours working on it, never thought the day would come.

I don't know about grinning, kinda nervous.

Yes, the jets will richen him up a little. Pulled the plug when Darrell got back from a high speed run, and they're a little white.

Are you saying I'm hard headed and a slave to my bike?

My bikes are my friends. They give me so much pleasure, I can't help but give back to them.

I've been riding my CB750F for 15 years. I'm not going to lob it in the ditch. I know EXACTLY where you're coming from.

Thanks, Christo. It's not as evil looking as I wanted, but the chain maille gives it a little attitude.
