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.

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?

I did and it still makes no sense. It really should not be hard to find someone to at least fill in for the 19th.

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.
