Damn nice Pan, Does anyone know what kind of carb is on it?  I know most people could care less but I think a little knowledge is a good thing even if it is a Harley. Tattoo |

Not sure about the carb, but check out the shifter knob!

I needed to get all of my gear to Merritt somehow  . Crossed a snowy pass, man that'll make you slow down in a hurry. Got to Merritt (450k away) and the snow line kept dropping. Went to a cut block the next morning to work (I work Silviculture in the spring/summer) and it went from balmy to blizzard in 10 minutes. The supervisor shut us down.
I was productive though. Came back to the motel, ripped my entire rear brake apart and cleaned it out. Works awesome. Yesterday snowed out again, so I did the front brakes.
My friend was sick of the motel and asked if I wanted to trek back for an overnight with the girls. Here I am back in the Koots. Crazy spring time.
BTW, I snipped a piece of high E from one of the beatniks on the crew. It works good for poking out the return holes on both the front and rear masters.
Keep loaded  , Grant.
P.s. I am glad you guys likes my load. Two months worth of gear along with parts and tools for projects. Broke 90 mph going up Anarchist pass  . |

whats in the bottle on the side...looks like urine...cant imagine its fuel...i would think if it were urine I would be a little embarrassed to leave it on the bike, but it doesnt look like embarrassment has never stopped that guy. |

Please pardon my sarcastic and insensitive remark earlier was only joking ...thought youwere posting this togo camping or have fun, didn't realize that it was out of neccessity.Glad you have employment now and be safe on those roads two wheel or not.You appear to be a far more advances rider than I because I couldn't probably have ridden a dry road with all that at 90 much less a frozen cold one.Good luck with the job . |

I want to commend the use of the bunji cords to hold the side case on. And we Honda owners thought they were for only holding luggage and stuff on the back of the seat. |

These bikes were built for 100% oil loss. Yes 100% so what would you expect? Tattoo |

Nick,
No offense taken. I love the sense of humour you guys have on the board. I appreciate the tone this thread has taken.
Oldrider,
Thanks for the props. With out you guys my bike would never have made it there.
Guys,
Anarchist pass was not the snowy pass. It was pretty safe to hit 90. As for the snow, that was more exciting than 90+ any day. Not the kind of excitement I like to repeat anytime soon.
Thanks for making funny, Grant. |
