***** Italian Dinner and Races, 9 May 2010 @ 'spoke and UJs' *****

PM me an address so I can get the ol' M900 down there for fun

MAYBE, I can convince ol' Marty to bring out his new-to-him M900 as well (though it needs a bit of work to get it running after sitting for several years)

Is that Jeff Brooks' M900 you're talking about?

[junior varsity]

you betcha - 98 900 with fcr's (velocity stacks only!), built VeeTwo heads, lots of powdercoating, custom Tricolore-esque paint, the last of the termi Ti full systems... Some other cool odds and ends...


Marty has let me put the bug in his ear too - I've got some "goodies" at the house - and the requisite knowledge (98 and 99 were near identical) to make it scream a little more.

But there's no doubt in my mind that the carbs are going to be simply filthy and gunked up after sitting for quite awhile. Luckily, with no airbox in the way, pulling them to service the internals should be a breeze. Its also giving Marty the opportunity to bone-up on "real mechanic skills" rather than simply the plug-n-play and button pushing of the new-fangled fuelies.

It probably needs a new battery too, replace the vacuum petcock (don't think you can rebuild 'em) and rebuild/replace the vacuum fuel pump. Pretty much, the fuel system.

How about 1, we should be back from the short loop by then.

[TresGatos]

You got it! 

[Cyclone]

  Looking forward to this - riding may be secondary to dining & drinking & carrying on for Cyette & I... so we will likely pass on riding the pre-loop although it sounds fun   

[Pinocchio]

Wish I could go to this, but our Mother's Day outing will take most of the day. I'll have to record the races. Ya'll have fun.

[UnionJill]
