Gave her a nice ride today, over the hills with a nice view, some horses were
very curious. Think she liked it, I did for sure.
Needed that after all this repairing in the workshop lately.

Scared the **** out of my wife today!

She rode pillion for the first time this season, I thought I was taking it pretty easy, she had a different impression Will take some persuading to get her back on.

Rode home so slowly I thought we might topple over in the corners, just to make it up to her

Changed coolant and balanced carbs while the plastic was off.

Funny thing, after pulling the carbs, re-jetting, turning the air/fuel screw out 1/2 turn and installing the stick coils, only had to tweak #4 just an RCH.

Today was amazing, I dismantled the 4 carbs, rejetted em with #135 main and #45 pilot, also cleaned out the gunky float and twiked it a little, got it mounted on the engine, just waiting for my battery to get charged and tomorrow afternoon I will have UNI POD filters..(paid $67) for them. Can't wait to hear the monster Roar in happiness. Also I fixed up my friends 250ninja and got it repainted with black and white flames. Hopefully 2morrow we can ride together.

I found her layin down in the parking lot at work Someone tipped her over doing quite a bit of damage. Including but not limited to; Cracked fairing left side mid and lower(where it was obviously backed into by a maroon vehicle), cracked fairing right side mid and lower (where it landed), severly scuffed cowl, right short mount turn signal snapped off, front brake lever bent unusable, right rider step snapped at peg mount including the peg and rear brake lever and the crank case cover was punctured by a small rock. I'll remove the plastics tomorrow during the day light hours to have a better look and see how bad the mounts are bent...... did I "" yet?

Feel bad for you, no witnesses at all? Hope someone has seen something, put up
a notice nearby and let folks now what happened.

I have to confess that I had never heard of an RCH before now.

But thanks to Wiki, my life has been enriched and I am now a more knowledgeable and more rounded person.

Thank you CBRF, thank you Wiki.

And just as an afterthought; is an RCH an imperial or a metric unit? I suspect it's imperial , eg: 3/5ths of an RCH.
