Kinda weird here too ! ....after weeks of waiting, my carb float valves finally came in , got the carbs back together. and back on the bike this morning while it was pouring down rain , then the rain stopped and I took the 88' out for a test ride , :woohoo: 52 degree temp was just "ok"
Then it started pouring down rain again, .....back to the garage......then the rain stopped , sun came back out......repeat ! at least the carbs are all good now !...................

Here in NC the weather was just right. So Trisha and I did a short three day road trip to Western NC. After weeks of reading about everyone putting miles on there Voyagers it felt good to be out riding.

Tony, Does that mean the '88 is good for Nashville now :hmm: .I do not think I would ever trust my '58 [cushman]to go that far,even though it had 10,101 miles on it when I got it .That means it got trusted quite a bit in it's earlier days. :thk:

Spring is here in Louisiana. The stormy weather trend has started but so far the rain and storms have passed through during the evening hours and not affected the days. Some wind has been gusty at times but the temps have been great 67 degrees in the morning with highs in the low 80's. I am going to try to make the Veterans Home ride in Jennings on the 8th. Hoping for a nice day.

Yes ! the 88' is now good to go any where ! no one here says they are gonna ride it to the rally tho .....I am taking my 03' , likely will be pulling my trailer this year.
I put some miles on the 88' over the weekend....... all good now ! :woohoo: (sorry for not responding sooner Loren, I could not get on the forum for a while there .)
