    My carbs finally went at the end of last summer. When I bought the bike they were leaking gas out the carb bowls but I was having too much fun with it and was lazy. So over winter I completely cleaned and rebuilt them. Go to start it this spring and it will barely keep running with the choke all the way on. Take it in and ask my mechanic to adjust the carbs or let me know if I buggered something up. He calls back today saying "You did a great job on the carbs. All I did was sync them and now the thing runs perfectly." I was dancing around my office like an idiot knowing that I'd get to ride for the first time in about 8 months (bike died in August). About half an hour later I was on my way home from the shop. It needs a new battery but I kind of saw that coming. Going to get one tomorrow and go for a nice long ride.

    I also ordered a valve cover gasket and o-ring and seal for the tach gear to clear up the crazy small oil leaks it has. Anyhow, just thought I'd share my excitement. :D
