But on to the ride talk -
I still have my DS, and still ride my ***** off on her. Bought her new January 2001, still alive and kickin', and still trouble free. Still stock bore, still stock stroke, still running 14:1 compression on 110 leaded sucked through a Mikuni TM45 with the front end yankin' up response of an accelerator pump that's operated via thumb throttle that's still really easy on the thumb...still.

I still dune, but my Utah/Idaho trips aren't quite as frequent as they used to be. Won't be long though, before my boy Nate is ready for it.

Hope you guys are all still well, and still riding too.
Man its great to see you.

If you get a chance to bump some of your old threads. I think you did a great tutor on ??????. Bump it and I'll make it a sticky.

This will only be my fifth one and as long as I've been involved in them it's always been on Labor Day weekend, I believe since their inception it's been that way. Could be mistaken on the ones before '06, but this one for sure is Labor Day weekend. St. Anthony Idaho. C'mon out.

Be nice to put faces to some of the older folks names that are from anywhere further east than Colorado. Chouser from the Denver area has made a couple but he's as far east as anyone that I know of since I've been attending.

Sorry 'bout the thread hijack Chris!

Hey that's okay Ace, gald to oblige the thread man, no problem!

I'd love to come to DS Days, especially at St. A's!!
But, I cannot. Two reasons - 1) just changed jobs, left my job as technician at a Sony plant to return to my old job of 10+ years as a technician at Temple Inland so I have no vacation time right now...2) My wife is expecting our second boy, he's due right around labor day.
Bad news I can't come, but all good news as to why!



I'll sniff around freebird...I assume you refer to mikuni flat slide carb info. But I'm not sure if its ever been put into an overall synopsis all organized like the OMR stock carb mods posting.


Good to hear from all of you guys!
