For Sasa

I think this will explain about the intake manifold problem I experienced. I was not there when the problem was corrected, but from what my dealer, James, explained to me, this seems the only place where the problem could have occurred. He reads here sometimes, so hopefully, he'll correct me if I am wrong. :) I think the important thing to do is ensure that the "pipe" is tightly snug to the carburetor in all places, as a defective clamp might lead you to believe it is fully tight, yet gaps could exist that would allow air to leak in.

Story Of My Life

Not really, but dang, it's entertainin'.

h/t Britt Knee, who we all miss.

In real life, it's the usual grind. After the I got used to colder temps, the scoot to and from work didn't seem so bad. It really only sux when it's raining, and that's mainly 'cause I busted the ass out of my Frogg Toggs, trying to hitch 'em up too far, and then bending over to pick something up. Heh.

The gloves are perfect down to around 40°F; below that, there's some degree of fingertip numbness by the time I complete the commute.

And, I got a voicemail from James, today, wishing me a Merry Xmas.
