It's been going on long enough that I'm having to try to train these people who think we should hand them a certification just for showing up.

Who's fault is it when they let a plane fall due to lack of fuel?, the pilot? The engine builder?

How can they make the planes take turns landing? That just don't seem "fair".

Heathcliff, is that you?

Pulled into the Post Office, got off of the bike and walked about twenty feet, almost in full costume.

Man asked, "Is that your bike?"

I turned back to glance at the Ultra and then answered, "No. That's my wife's. She had me blocked in."

Next out was, "Does your wife ride?"

"No. She's a poser."


I had to ride about 75 miles to clear my head.

"I have read if you just replace the mufflers you don't need the electronic gizmo for an additional couple hundred bucks to regulate the exhaust compression. Is that true?"

Damn it. I hadn't considered regulating my exhaust compression.

[Fe Butte]

I removed some of my exhaust compression ...

What stoichiometric are we talking about? Stoichiometric means the ideal afr for your goal.

Stoichiometric for the lowest exhaust emissions is about 14.6/1

Power stiochioimetric is 12.5/1. The lower the stoichiometric, the more fuel is burned and the more power can be produced. So the ideal power stoichiometric that bikers are looking for should be the ideal power stoich and not the ideal emmisions stoich.

Of course I'm just an old coot that knows nothing. But I do have 11 HD's that run cool, strong and will last longer than any bike running emmisions stoich.

I'll add another one.The ideal stoichiometric afr for a drag bike run wot for a 1/4 mile would be from 10 to 11/1 afr.
