Welp, I just made kabin reservations for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Looking forward to it.

My wife and I actually went through there a month ago, we took the car and stayed in an AirBnB east of town off 221. It was pretty, as usual, and it was a nice trip further north.

Just me on this trip, my wife will stay here and visit with my stepson who is flying into town. He'll come to the house to visit a bit Friday, I'll catch him the following week. Maybe this fall I can talk her into riding on the back for three hours to come to Tellico, though. We'll see.

Meanwhile, it'll be good to get back up there and see you guys, whoever "you guys" is. Meanwhile, I will have to tinker a bit and replace a burned out bulb on the FJ, and see if I can zip that jacket up over my gut. 

We'll miss you Mike.  Who will do a booty call for the women you know?   

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it down this year now, with the exchange rate what it is and possibility of a strike with work. My 2 weeks vaycay will now be spent cleaning the garage out.
Everyone be safe, and have a great time!

Is there any special trick to getting out the spacer that installs into the bearing in the hub with the sprocket on it? Do I knock out the bearing first then knock out the spacer or try to knock out the spacer first then knock out the bearing?

The Exxon station in Tellico Plains, Tn.....I've bought maybe $1000 worth of gas there.  The September rally is held just up the road in the "mountain cabins".

Like a few others I've put CBR250R mirrors on my FJ and are happy with them.

On my 92, I like the oem Honda CBR1000 mirrors. Yes, oem Honda mirrors are more expensive than eBay Emgo aftermarket mirrors,  but the quality of the Honda glass is unmatched.

Those hose from carb to carb was for a CA emissions system and charcoal cannisters, which someone has removed. Most people put vacuum caps on them.

That plug sounds like it is just a keyed 12v source from the removal of the solenoid for the emissions system.

The white tees in between 1/2 & 3/4 are the overflow hoses, a smaller hose on each carb body that is a vent, an you should have a single fuel inlet between 2/3.

It was running and I rode it from August to December, in which I had a stuck float needle which caused a gas leak so it sat outside in the winter (terrible I know but I learned my lesson). I have a video of it running post winter that I can share, the stuck float needle fixed itself but it still has an erratic idle so I will take the carbs apart and go through them. The carbs are synced as tested with a vacuum gauge so I think they just need a good cleaning.
