That's the spirit! Even with the current frustration of trying to dial in the carbs, once you've gotten 'em nailed down, it'll all be worth it. Hang in there, Brother!

That's my biggest obstacle right now....after that it's just gravy!!! The rest of it is cosmetic upgrades. Found a nice tank bib/pocket for it. It's at www.timberwolfleather.com

He is located in Jasper, GA. Northern part of the state. I looked it up on mapquest and he is about a 2 1/2 to 3hr ride for me. Might have to make that trip when the weather warms up! Make a day trip out of it . Told the wife about it and she said "why go when he can ship it?" You can probably guess my reply..........LOL!!

hehehe.........it's all good

Have saddlebags on the Reb, so oftentimes will plan rides around running minor errands, but for the most part it's really a matter of just wanting to be in the wind & riding. The rest is stuff to do during the course of the ride...hey, if nothing else, we all have to stop for lunch, right ? Just tell the OL that you're taking her out for a nice dinner & with the price of gas, it's more cost effective to use the Rebel, LMAO!

Too bad the OL won't ride with me! Guess I will have to get a buddy or two that work the same shift schedule that I work to ride with me......heck, even a solo ride wouldn't be too bad. I would be going through some old stomping grounds for me on the way. Could stop in and see my cousin and some old friends . Sounds like a plan!!!

Absolutely! Being out there with Brothers or flying solo, either way it's always an adventure. Dang! Now ya got me looking forward to springtime even more, LOL! Was going to hit the shop today, but when I opened the door to leave the OL's the cold smacked me back to reality & we ended up running errands via 4 wheels instead.

Sounds like you've got an excellent road trip ahead of you once you've got the Rebel sorted out. Excellent!
