RAAX1,,, THE GOOD, THE SAD AND THE UGLY,,,

ARE YOU GUYS SAYING THAT STEVE HAS TO GET THE 240 CARPENTER KIT SO THE BIKE CAN HANDLE THE WEIGHT???
 
DUK,
Missed seeing you this year!
Couldn't make it this year but I am leaving in a few minutes for central Pennsylvania for a meet up with the Pittsburgh Ton Up lads. Taking the Norton to carve a few of the twisties in the hill country arond the Penna Grand Canyon. Last year I took the Rocket and someone on a Honda 600SS mentioned my riding a Barcalounger and could I keep up? That was the last they saw of me until the next gas stop....Some people just don't get the Rocket
 
OK, now the ugly,,,,,
We were at a little town in Montana, stopped for lunch and to walk around for a couple hours, @1olbull , our fearless leader was feeling splendid and stopped for more than 30 seconds this time, the girls walked around buying souveniers while the guys went to the bike shop, about an hour and a half into the break we decided to go get gas, Steve pointed ta the direction where the gas station was, i asked @breeze if he wanted to help me gas up the bikes and he said yes.
I jumped on the Rocket while Breeze took Neida's Ninja, we found this very cheap looking gas station, we figured it was the one Steve was talking about, we gassed up the bikes and went back to where the other bikes were.
There was this nice lady, Sharon, she rode with the Washington Chapter, she has this beautiful Harley Softail, i'm guessing 2014 or 15, she says; "Since you guys are gassing up all the bikes might as well take mine too," i go ok and off we go, Breeze was riding his bike and i took the Heritage, this time i park at the other side of the pump. proceded to pump gas, fill it up, at full a little red speck spews out of the tank and i go, what the hell??? gas is not red,,,, IT WAS DIESEL USED FOR OFF ROAD AND THE PUMPS WERE NOT MARKED!!!, I FILLED A $20,000 BIKE THAT WAS NOT MINE WITH DIESEL!!!!!!!

To be continued,,,,,,

I did that one time --- in the dark at home in the garage, grabbed an unmarked fuel can, and put the fuel in the tank of the Honda CB-250 Nighthawk.

I'm here to tell you -- at least on a carbureted machine -- it would run like s___ -- but with bodacious handling of the throttle -- it ran and got me home.
 


That's pretty close to the story I had envisioned.........
Mexican, aka Big Daddy Cool Diesel
Haven't we ALL done that at some time in our life???
Back when we all went inside n paid for our gas AFTER we pumped it (yea, that was a long time ago) I went in & paid then got in my car & drove off. Looked in my mirror & saw the nozzle n hose flapping from my quarter panel n gas SPRAYING out of the pump!!!!!!
 


Well at least the fuel system is well lubricated. lol.
 
..... I shiponed the diesel out and put gas in it, not before going into panic mode in front of Bull, Breeze and everybody else while Sharon waited patiently for me to return with her bike, Bull said: " either its going to smoke like hell or its going to blow" while he rode it to the real gas station anout an 8th of a mile down the road, i was anxious to see Bull return with the bike, to my surprise Bull returns 15 minutes later,,,,,,in a police car!!!! My blood went down to my feet!!! I tought, the bine broke and i have to pay for it!!!!!!!!
