After buying my first fuel injected motorcycle (Ducati) I will NEVER buy another carb based bike. Oh how I hated tuning and synching those infernal carbs.

I have a Walkman somewhere. I don’t know why I kept it. I was moving and had come across my HUGE box of old cassettes. I was thinking of digitizing them. Then realized how many hundreds of hours that would take and tossed the whole lot in the trash. I suppose I’ll regret it when an EMP takes out my MP3 player when I’m craving some tunes on a mechanical analogue device.

Gotta run, going to go watch Blazing Saddles on Betamax.

Don’t kick yourself, EMP would wipe the tape anyway.

Still riding an old carb model BMW here. Still have to sync them once in awhile but they're simple. Do you set your own valves? I used to help a guy who raced Ducks, so am one of the few people who have worked on desmo valves who never owned a Ducati. I would love to someday.
