Well every year, my mom's side of the family has a Christmas party, and we get family pictures. This has been a good way to see my year over year progress. They're not the best pictures, but it's cool to see change.

UPDATED AND FINAL PLANS....7/10 Okay for starter this isn't a open invite for anyone to tag along, the ones that would be invited you already know your welcome too and no need to ask.Especially you @Tonik your not going. The reason for the non invite of a group is due to the mileage and nature of this trip. This many miles in this many days we don't need extra variables to hinder our progress. So with that being said we ( @JustinNck1 and @2talltim) do want to share this trip with you all and let you live vicariously through us as well as ask for any input of recommendations you may have to help us out. We have a plan in place it is a very complete yet flexible plan since we know shit happens and things change so as of right now this is what we have planned. And no I don't get a kick back from Super 8(well actually I kinda do..lol) just happens to work out that most of the hotels are Super 8's Total Mileage Estimate: 7200 Total Hotel Cost: $1350 Purchase an America the Beautiful pass pre trip: $80 Day 0: 7/27/2018 Home to Greenfield Indiana Super 8 after work on Friday ($87 Confirmation # :xxxxxxxxxx)(Cancel by 7/26 6pm) Mileage: 208 (Tim) 247 (Justin) Google Map(Tim): https://goo.gl/maps/tVeCRptkKyt Google Map:(Justin): https://goo.gl/maps/WBmb72a9B352 Hotel: https://www.wyndhamhotels.com/hotels/greenfield-indiana?brand_id=SE Day 1: 7/28/2018...

I have no experience with slab sides but lots of tuning on the zrx’s. When tuning those a cruising speed stumble is usually solved by adjusting the mixture screws or a larger pilot jet. Throttle response stumble when opening it up usually requires richening the main jet by raising the needle(lowering the clip on the needle). Or a larger jet. Could be apples to oranges comparison on carbs. Sounds lean though

Yes, this is correct. Confirmed by the National Park Service Website, quote below. What about motorcycle drivers who purchase an Annual Pass? An Annual Pass permits entrance for two motorcycles IF the two people who sign the pass arrive at the same time on two motorcycles, regardless of the number of people on each motorcycle.

The main needle doesn't meter air. It meters fuel from the bowl, typically at throttle openings from 1/8-1/4 and up. Most of the low speed operation is metered by the idle jet. The main needle meters more fuel as the slide and needle is raised because it's tapered and you're pulling it up out of the main jet orifice, increasing fuel flow into the carb throat. So, if you RAISE the needle--which means you LOWER the clip one or more positions on the needle--then you're richening the mixture, which sounds like what is needed and what the experts recommended. If you lower the needle by RAISING the clip, then you've leaned the mixture further. One other thing that I'm not sure about is that when changing the main jet to a large or smaller size, it may be necessary to match the needle to the new jet size if the taper isn't a proper fit.

Great time at karts with @JustinNck1. Hopefully more people can make it out next time.

Yeah we know the plains and the desert areas are going to be hot but we had to balance our personal schedules and also didn't want to go too late because of snowfall in the passes.

Million Dollar Hwy is on day 10, has been the whole time.

No, you got more than everyone else got

Sure, except for the carry all your shit part. We'll meet you at the hotel every night. (or next morning what ever time the Grayhound rolls in)

Those were on my original maps but cut them due to making a long day even longer. Not so much mileage but time. Might add them back in if time permits.

No, not sure. I'm going to venture to say, not. The plan is to have a dealer lined up maybe in the Denver area that will be able to get one or take tools and spoons and have one delivered to the Dillon hotel and do it ourselves. Hypothetically we should be able to make one last that long taking it easy but knowing ourselves we need to have a plan to get one somewhere.

Only 7 months to wait now

Why we are both trying to loose weight the winner gets to be the little spoon.

Exactly the kind of feedback we are looking for. I added SR92 as a alt route thank you.

To each their own I guess, I really like the look of the FZ-10.

Looks who's is winning the little spoon award
