Hi Greg,
I would love to drop in on the wrench session to do some carb work.  Several of us talked at MM#6 about the likely problems with mine not revving over 6K and how it continues to run with the jets screwed all the way in.  The general consensus was the carbs needed to be "gone through".
I guess this is the time to do it!

A very successful wrench session.

I got the front caliper rebuilt on the VF1000R (Ms. America), enjoyed meeting some new folks, having a meal at the Cotton Gin and another "long way home" ride.

Thanks again to Kristi and Greg for a great wrench session.

When do we ride?

You are not paid for what you do, but rather for what you will do and when that time comes, you will be highly underpaid.

Great wrench session. I want to thank everyone that helped with everything that I did. I couldn't do it without you guys!

TigerRider

Wish I lived closer.  Kind of a long haul from Michigan, but I'll make it down that way sometime.  Maybe next year for a Moot event, if I get my Wing in the spring!  Otherwise, the ol' Tiger still might make the trip, but probably only on a trailer!

I just hope nobody mistakes it for a Harley when I pull up!  LOL!

I am definitely going to try to make it down there next year.  There just isn't much going on with Magnas anywhere else anymore, not like there used to be.  I think this is mostly due to Honda's not making the Magna now, so the guys who do move on can't stay with an improved model of the bike they loved in the first place.  Too bad Honda gave up on the Magna, as we didn't!

But given the choice of going south where I've been several times, or coming to Texas or wherever you have a Moot Mag Rally, the choice is an easy one for me.  Whether it's in the Big Bend area or up toward the Ozarks, I would prefer that over doing the Dragon again.  Not that I don't like riding the Dragon or in that area, but I've been there, done that.  Time to explore new territory.

And I don't know if it will be on a newer Wing or driving down with the Tiger on a trailer yet, but I will try to swing it.  Heck, I might just trailer both so that the Tiger can attend one last Rally.  Have to wait and see what happens.

I just hope I can stand the heat!
