When I dropped the bike off the Keith, I told him that I am not leaving without him riding the bike. I had to have his take on how it perfomred as compared to when he gave it to me to be reworked.
I knew how I flet about out it's performance, but of course some may say I am biased. I did call Keith up and say I had turned around and went home as I like the bike soo much that I couildn't deliver it to him.
It rained all the way there and was raining when I got to Keith's house. We went out to eat at Muldoons in Cleveland with Ron Kretz a motorcycle mechanic and afficiando. He also races. We had a good meal and I think I may have had a beer too many if that is possible.
Once we got back we finished putting on the Hagon shocks that were 1/2 inch longer than the 12 1/2 inch MDIs that were on it (bloody stiff shocks that made if feel like a hinge in the middle. Couldn't even lean it over.)
Off Keith went on his test ride. Ron and I could hear the difference in the bike as it wormed up. It sounded crisper. Though we didn't think it was too loud. Maybe because we like two-strokes with chambers. Really it was not that loud.
The look on Keith's face was enough for me when he got back I had my answer.
Hope you enjoy the bike, Keith.
Hope you can read this as a few beers and some Knob whiskey does a body good.
