Tehachapi is not so bad......low 90's. Mojave is another story.......
Bike went on its final break in ride today. First off, I have been torque checking the head nuts and cylinder nuts each and every heat cycle/ride and they have not moved at all.
Second, the bike is a rocket with a healthy 50/50 mix of 100LL and 91 octane........It sounds WICKED!!
Hey OX, are you near by?

Some people don't like ebay.....I however love ebay when I find cool stuff like what I bought today.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/280906285596?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
It is not easy finding stuff for a motorcycle that was designed in 1987 and discontinued in 2004.....
I almost bought one from Scotts Performance for $140!! That BRP should look awsome once I shine her up!! :-D
