A lot of good things have been happening for me for the last couple of weeks. A lot of riding, seeing friends and family and da finances. A bunch of us headed down to Bloominton this weekend and it was an amazing ride down there thanks to Hutch's amazing back road navigation skills. My R5 was running great after upgrading the rec/reg and new car coils. No prblems on the way down and not a lot on the way into the camp site and skate ditch...
It kind of started with a little pop here and there. Just thought it was a small backfire. Nothing big. It started happing more and more. It pulled me over away from the pack a few times, but changing plugs only put me behind a few miles. The problem never dissapeared. I have tried different heat range plugs, checking for air leaks, timing and even wrong oil gas ratios. Nothing. I spent some time cleaning the points and checking timing. Timing is good but the points look a little ruff. I though new points were a little more reliable.
I could spend an extra day or two in btown, looking for points that could fit or spending a few hours looking over everything, twice. But for some reason I just want to sit down and look at anything else than this bike. Life always has it's ruff time were hardware stores are close on Sundays and parts are no were near you. There is always someone willing to tow you back home for $90.... O well that's life.
You take a break and start over.
Passions will never die.
People will always help.
As I sit here besides the btown skatepark and rest I already want to figure out what is wrong with my bike, find another way to get home and make things better. I'll never give up.
Nuts to Butts! (new phrase I picked up this weekend :) )
