170 mile ride after carb rebuild - PLUGS GOOD!

With a lot of help folks here, finally got the carburetors working decent on my 1979 A1.

Time for a test ride.

Decided not to ride with the local group, as I knew, I would be stopping off, looking for problems, looking at spark plugs, and for loose parts. As such, the goal was to ride and stay in cell phone service.

Well, it's good to have a plan. But what good is a plan if it is not followed? So I immediately went on back roads with no cell phone service, on total trust and insanity.

Here's a little slideshow of central California riding in the middle of winter. I hope you enjoy it.

Nicely done. Great photos. I guess you have had enough of carb work for a while, so what’s next?

Thank You Sir..
I really didn't want to learn how these carbs worked..
But after I threw 1,400 USD down the drain for a 'pro'...

Should have listened earlier to advice from scotch and kawboy..

Live and learn, yes?
