I can’t say enough about how much I enjoy your photos and videos, Don. They look so professional. Great photography.
The ‘big boys’ who joined you in the previous adventure,  didn’t go on this one?

What about the bike - are you now happy with the fuel mixture and spark plug readings?

Any work done on the KZ1300 A3 you bought some time ago?

iPhone and point and shoot Canon, Mac Photos, ezPz to make a 'slideshow'..

Barries Boyz is an eclectic group who rides every Wed and Saturday. Unfortunately, membership is declining as riders age out and or move away....

Oil consumption is now reasonable. Last tank hit it with a heavy dose of Yamaha Ring Free.
Plugs 1&2 show a bit black still. .. but that carb is messed up... some hack, not me, stripped the pilot jet threads then jammed a needle and jet from who knows what.. different threads, length, and I could never get good flow from that circuit using the 'Scotch Tool'. I have 4 spare racks now... and will get back to it when time allows. For now, good enough to ride!

Not one wrench turned, sadly. Been working the 2006 FJR, troubleshooting a failed aftermarket cruise control. The KTM needs a new CS sprocket, the riding lawn mower needs a new starter gear.. and my arthritic fingers can only work about 1 hour at a time now..
Thanks for the kind words..
