Suzuki 2 Strokes

Ok, it's Nov. 24, and about 18°F with wind & snow doin' what it does outside. I spent the a good part of yesterday in semi-heated (read not quite freezing) garage puttin' my cleaned & repaired carbs back on the GT550 only to find one leaking out the overflow. So, an equal time today was spent taking them off so as to open the offending bowl to find sum dumb a$$ (I won't mention my name here) put a float valve in upside-down. Must have had a brain-fart when I did that one! I admit these foibles so I'll remember & do better next time! Well, anyway it's all back together & working nicely now so I sat down to watch a BIKE oriented movie on NETFLIX.

THE HIGHEST PASS. Having nothing to do with Suzuki's or 2-stroke, several riders (some experienced, ... some not-so-much) go off on 350cc Royal Enfield singles on a journey in the Himalaya mountains to the highest "motorable road" in the world (reaching about 18400 feet). Kind of a ZEN - spiritualist - "be-one-with-the world" sort of flick, but enjoyable to watch on the cold winter nites. Catch it if ya get a chance.

I have a friend from Edmonton whos doing that right now. This week Bruce writes ,,,,,Greetings Al and friends! Thought you would all like to know that I rode a 2012 500cc Royal Enfield Bullet to the top of the Rhotang Pass (13,050 feet) yesterday. This is the first pass on the highest highway in the world. It is located in the Himalayas in India!! Sorry theres no video from him to show, only an attachment.

What a great Photo..what a thrill I bet..
