Running-In Dave's Bike.

We took Dave's bike out to test and tune it and to put some mileage on it.
We actually did a little work on the bike and took a couple of small runs around his house before showing up at this industrial park for the 'Test-&-Tune'. Here is Dave, taking it for a spin.

Here we are, Dave's buddy Dave (funny about that) and I watching him driving the RD around.

We kept tweaking and tuning the bike, checking settings and such, but we couldn't get it to come alive at anything above 3500 RPM.

I even set the timing with a timing light, and was sure I had the electrical system set up right.

The bike was running decent enough to give rides to Katrina & her boyfriend, so here I go with Brad on the back.

Next, was Katrina's turn.

When further adjustments and tuning didn't get the bike to run any better, we packed everything up and followed Dave back to the house.

Here we are, unloading the bike from the back of Dave's truck. I held it this way so it wouldn't fall over when the ratchet-straps were released.

Well, 'Baby' is back home after it's first driving experience after who knows how many years...

It was a bunch of fun riding it again, and there are a few things to take care of, but otherwise it is a nice machine.
