I've only started the H2 once since July.
Pretty sure I rode it for a few miles in the fall.
4th kick baby! :thumbup: :thumbup:
After all this ZRX work I really forgot how evil and powerful a triple with Denco's really is.
Sounds like a freaking freight train, or to quote McGee - if Satan owned cats, that's what they would sound like.
I also remembered that running them a tad rich keeps that pinging to a minimum when it's hot (with stock needles).
Freaking awesome sound and I love me some lightweight motorcycles.
I was thinking that just maybe I would change the brake fluid and lube the chain; then again...

And yes I know, I jinxed it and crank seals are just waiting to go away.

Since being rear ended in a car 3 years ago and having a slightly injured neck, I am afraid to ride fast, (not that I ever rode nearly as fast as some of you pilots).

For this reason I'm thinking we should have a handicap system for you go fast guys so that the rest of us can stay visible in your mirrors.
I'm thinking this could even up the score nicely.

Yeah, I don't remember when I started my H2 last. I wasn't going to bring it since I thought I'd also have my son-in-law's bike on my trailer, but now I will have a spot. I was going to spend these last few evenings working on it (Ivan's jet kit, replacement stock pipes, etc.) but now dealing with trailer issues. We'll see.

I was afraid I couldn't come without a 2-smoker :shock:
