Hitch in My Fuel Supply

 


Yesterday was Marvin Heemeyer Day. Remember, Hell has no fury like a welder scorned. Photo from here.


The trailer hitch for the Missus' car showed up yesterday. I'm going to see if I can get it installed over the weekend. I'll need a second pair of hands to hoist it up over the muffler and get the nuts started on the bolts coming down through the frame rails. Installation schedule will be determined by my help.

It rained most of the day yesterday, so I piddled around the shack doing some chores.

One of the things I did was order the fuel manage system from Hitchcock for my Royal Enfield. I ordered the Fuel X Lite rather than the Fuel X Pro. The Pro model has a dozen different maps you can choose from, which is about 11 more than I think I'll need. If I change the air induction or exhaust system, the Lite version should be able to adjust for that in addition to making it run better, especially when the engine is cold. 

I'll be back in the shop today. I've got some clean-up work to do and need to get some more work done on the fork legs for the trials bike so I can get the front end back under it. I've got a couple more bikes waiting in the wings. Need to stay busy.

postpone all of your current affairs and projects to work on only the trials bike and yer other bikes while taking 33 images per post, minimum of 4 posts daily, taking food breaks and naps, telling everybody to go away.

If I hadn't postponed a lot of the projects over the years, I would have been finished with several of the bike projects by now. Of course, I probably would have just drug a few more bikes home. It's a curse, I tell you.
