A variety of work related activities.........I've got a bunch of crap work to do tomorrow, but I can do it all at home and I'm absolutely done by 1800 so I can re-bait the crab pot and go fishing. Pulled the pot in last night and had 13, blue crabs. Freaking delicious.

Gotta work Saturday night though..........not freaking happy about that....

It seemed to run fine today.

Here is the other member of the team going for a ride on it. He rides unicycles and plays unicycle basketball. He also juggles and can juggle while riding a unicycle. He also rides off road on his unicycle. I am still in awe of his coordination. :eek:

We had an orange one for a bit. Kinda awkward to ride, but they pull decent. Ours was down on power like that. Cleaning md kitting the carb made it a whole new bike....

Those moments are how we learn and move forward in life........it took a while and a lot of BS, but I finally realized that regret is for those happy with mediocrity........... if you have 'regrets' from which you did not take a valuable lesson, you're doing it wrong.

OK:
1. That girl is stupidly cute
2. Agree with Sid, helped a buddy with the same issue on one of those, a jet kit and carb cleaning fixed it right up

Cool, I will remember that if she mentions the stalling issue again.

That is not even a good photo. If you saw her facebook one you'd be even more impressed. :)

How much were you guys upping the jet size? Did it affect fuel economy much or low-speed running?

It was a while ago, don't remember the specifics, I'd say 2 sizes max on the main jet though and no noticeable economy difference.

oh, i recognized it. i recognized it because i pussed out. couldn't do it. too afraid. it would have been a game changer, i think. i still remember the last song that was playing on the jukebox, the last time i saw her. haunted. we've talked, since. it still haunts me.

regret is forever. embarrassment is short lived, weeks at most.
