Just Ride.

Got out yesterday for a few hours.
Pulled in at home 5 min before the rain started.
Didn't note the miles.
The down hill is on the way towards Durham.

Tried going for a ride but didn't get far before I turned around and headed for home. The smoke from Canada is so bad my eyes were burning.

We haven't had it THAT bad here, but it does kind of always smell like forest fire at least a little. Which is preferable to when all of the surrounding farmers fertilize their fields. We've been back and forth between "low" and "medium" smoke levels on my radar app all summer.
 
Perfect weather yesterday
out 9 hours ca 160 km
Besides riding --- Walking around talking to people Some places at the Beach tourist spots lot of people . Friday night Boats.
Got Fried herring and mashed potatoes
Even in a church for a short moment that was a long time ago.

Harvest time looks a someone will laugh all the way to the bank unless a thunderstorm

PMA 14.1 V at low RPM -- lights on --- Never had that before ... .it feels as I get stronger spark at low RPM
running better at low RPM
Runs a bit hard mechanically will check Valve play ( is it lash in English )
And in winter try set up a new set of Carburetors

Thank you Sir .. I have dents and wear . I don't like it to fine . It was so back in the day .My Friends could not afford good bikes
Me neither. None at all . As long as it runs ..Reasonably well it is OK.
People talk about vibrations I don't have any
Not after the brand top mech adjusted the crankshaft and outer bearings got replaced
left side was shot. ca 70 000 km
Con rod Small end hole got a pass but there was wear.
Rubber foam grips and synchronized carburetors.

Checked the valve Play was off to tight on exhaust and horribly loose on intake
intake should be ca 0.10 was + 0.15
On exhaust should be 0.15 was ca 0.10
Some years since i checked

Left spark plug was 0.6 gap should be 0.7 .. Must have dropped it not noticing.

Well todays ride didn't go well. Pickup truck pulled out right in front of me and I caught his front bumper at about 60 mph. Went down hard and didn't get up and got hauled off in an ambulance. I won't be moving much for a while and I still don't know how much damage I did to the bike.

Oh no! That’s terrible to hear! So sorry for the day you’ve had. The bike can be replaced. Hopefully you will soon be on the mend. Take care of yourself and feel better soon!

Sorry to hear that... its always the other drivers' actions that we must be leery of. Hope you mend quickly and well and are able to saddle-up again soon.
