bike next to a creek/stream/river tag: my v star next to the red river just north of winnipeg a few days ago...

next, how about a picture of you working on your bike? this was doing head work on my buell:

^^ Aggressive interpretation of the rules there, but I'll let it slide (mostly because it works in my favour

)

Bike got a fresh air filter last night:

And it needed it, too. Bike ran a little rich on the weekend, but was spot-on perfect today.

New tag: your bike on top of a hill. Bonus points if you get a sign in the picture stating a summit name and elevation.

I've read about them. Pricey, and weren't there some pretty serious issues (bike sometimes ran dangerously lean.) Can't remember the details, but my recollection is that it's a great idea that didn't quite work in the real world. But that was a while ago - maybe they've worked the bugs out.

Every KTM guy I know that has one "I'll never run another carb on my bikes again". All of them claim more power down low, smoother powerband and significantly better mileage...which is pretty surprising for a 2 stroke.

Not sure about the issues you refer to..like you said, maybe some time ago.

Yeah, just did a bit of Googling and everyone seems to love them.

There's the Lectron, and also the APT Smart Carb, which is the same idea. The Smart Carb comes in a billet version ($$$) and a cast version (cheaper). I think maybe I had heard about problems with the cast Smart Carb, so not the same thing.

Anyway, sounds like the good ones are around US$500. For the amount I get to ride, I think I can put up with running a bit rich now and then. Or I could just not be lazy and rejet when necessary.

Bike on a hill. Again tough in my part of SK, I have two nights of life left in my riding season, then my plates expire and I won't renew this year, if this is still up tomorrow, I have a thought on where I can fill it.....

neil · « **Reply #87 on:** October 01, 2016, 08:52:31 pm »

My last ride of the season, plates expire tonight

As close to a hill as I can get....

edit: huh, the image didn't post trying again...

Next tag, your bike at a bone/salvage yard.... bonus if there are bikes there:

I'm probably out for the year. Snowing today, flurries all weekend, then I'm stuck at work until the end of the month. Friends are trying to convince me to put on studs and keep riding all winter, but I think I'd rather just ski.

Only got 6 rides in this season for another 10 hours on the bike. $:-\$

Rode today and yesterday. Probably the warmest weather I've ever ridden in lol.

Arthur Dent · « **Reply #90 on:** October 07, 2016, 01:53:49 pm »

I rode this morning too. Bloody cold at only 5C. My gloves are not sufficient for such temperatures!

6 rides! Snow!! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arthur Dent · « **Reply #92 on:** October 07, 2016, 04:04:25 pm »

It is snowing bit here today. Might make for an interesting ride back if it doesn't clear up.

Weekend is supposed to be nice however.

wing · « **Reply #93 on:** October 07, 2016, 04:12:17 pm »

I will hit 1000km before the bike goes away. I'm about 60 away from it I think.

Considering I started riding 2 weeks ago, not bad!

wing · « **Reply #94 on:** October 07, 2016, 05:26:38 pm »

Junk yard

How about a fire station?

wing · « **Reply #95 on:** November 06, 2016, 03:55:41 pm »

This die?

Did 120k today kind of chilly.

Arthur Dent · « **Reply #96 on:** November 11, 2016, 06:24:31 pm »

I think we were on fire stations right. Here is a small town one.

How about a grain elevator? Or if you part of world doesn't allow for that maybe something farming related.

wing · « **Reply #97 on:** November 11, 2016, 06:42:59 pm »

Damn could have got that last Sunday. But I think I'm parked now. So many silos around here haha

Sunday will be +13 Wing, you'll get a chance.

Yeah I saw that. Maybe.... I put the bike away, so I said lol. topped it right up with gas.

But maybe I'll go for a zip if it's warm and this wind dies down.
