DoldGuy:
Glad to here you are okay, it always concerns me riding in an area that I can not see "What's Under There"....had a similar experience in my younger (AKA Stupid) days.
Obviously you did not have much time on it, but what did you think about the front brake?
Also where does the bike feel blubbery? Midrange/Topend/Bottom?

Thank you doldguy, I think my pride was the most bruised off all. :-D. I've been riding that pasture since I was six, I just never saw what I hit. The front brake felt really good; it made a huge difference. The blubbering was after half throttle, where I was having the issues before I installed the smaller needle. Of course Dennis just guessed on where to start with the power jet with the 3X needle. I planned on adjusting it, but I crashed about five minutes into my ride. Ruined a perfect day to ride, but at least I walked away from it.

I made a trip to the Orthopedic Doc today about my shoulders. Sadly I managed to hurt both of them. The right shoulder checked out okay, but he thinks I may have torn my rotator cuff in my left shoulder. I'm going in for an MRI tomorrow. If you're the praying kind, I would appreciate a little prayer. I read online that the recovery time is 4 to 6 months. :-o
You may want to stay tuned to see if Mrs. Umberto hangs a for sale sign on this dude if I did tear it. :-D
reklessj:
Good luck bro!! My crews thoughts and prayers will be with / you also. Hope she won't take that beast away from ya, just tell her it takes a little bit to tame it!!
umberto:
Thank you reklessj, it's very much appreciated! I'm pretty certain that she won't take Goliath away from me, as she's very understanding about my life long love of bikes. We do own a The UPS Store franchise, and if I can't work (lift heavy things) during Christmas peak season, she might sell me and keep the bike. :-D
