Member Contributer Polarbear Posted March 12, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted March 12, 2018 1st ride of the season Yes that is ice out there... I drove off very slowly to the main road and once on it, opened up. Only for the engine/gearbox to protest heavily. Tried shifting down but no, it felt like the gearbox was jammed..... Not matter what I tried, could not shift down so pulled over.... Ahhhh...................... GP Shift!!!!!!! The shift arm needs to point UP!!! Duhhhhh GP2 shifter?!?!? Hahhahahaha.

Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted March 29, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted March 29, 2018 Dutchy, I had the weirdest fucking dream last night that I was visiting you and staying with you while I was there. I think we stole (or borrowed) a sailboat. Little fuzzy. We did enjoy some scotch for sure though. Don't ask me... no clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted March 30, 2018 Author Member Contributer Share Posted March 30, 2018 It sure does. The "sports"saddle is waaayyy too soft though. Upon spirited acceleration, your ass sinks in it so much that your body is rocking backwards. Really weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 16 lifter clearances withing spec; not bad seeing how the engine gets to works for its fuel... Shiney! Another VFR came by.. Scenic route heem.... Spring is in the air....
