I feel safer going fast on an empty highway, with a trusty bike, on good tires, in good weather, then I ever feel approaching an intersection in town at 30mph.
But, point taken Ron, I'll keep the lid on.

Well, maybe changin' them plugs a little more often makes sense after
all, huh?

All small engines like to be cared for. You hit the "Sweet Spot" where
the valve timing carb sync, fuel mix all, and even the air that the
engine was breathing came together and it blew your skirt over your eyes.

Just smile and enjoy it, but please don't get into the habit of riding
over the century mark. Life is too sweet and too short. I'm sure you have
noticed that many people sign their contributions to this list, "Ride
Safe". Over the century mark anywhere but on a track is very dangerous,
(Speaking from experience that is best left in the past).

I've been "tuning up" this week, new plugs, a splash of SeaFoam in the
tank, a tank of 93 octane just for fun.  >
