Here are some pics for you poor scenically challenged folks.
Had one small issue with a fuel leak on my brothers machine. Tightened hose clamp.
Also both machines are running "flat" from middle throttle to full throttle. Think I will re-jet richer. Any comments ??

That’s beautiful, you’ve been to Vegas. It’s gray here until the sun goes down then it’s pretty colorful on the strip. I’d probably crash staring at the view.

No buddy I don't think you would crash. Your eyes will be glued to the road. One look over the edge and you will know why. If you miss a corner here you will most likely get an $80 helicopter ride to the nearest trauma center.

Hope British Columbia Canada.
It's called: Sowaqua valley
Google earth it.
Then you can fly around the mountains here.
If you want to go anywhere in this province you MUST come through my home town because all of the highways meet here. It's like a hub on a wheel.

Here is a link with some photos that is posted online by someone. I'm sure you guys have seen some of these photos as I have posted some of these exact pics that this guy did here: http://www.ihikebc.com/trips/2018/trip1 ... ceRoad.htm
Page two: http://www.ihikebc.com/trips/2018/trip1 ... ceRoad.htm

Here is a link to pics of my home town: https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Ho ... 129&ch=538
Note: there is a pic there of the bridge they used when Hollywood was here filming the original "First Blood" movie that made Stallone a star. In that movie, all of the guns you see in the sheriffs office were actually Hienz Schifermiers guns. He was the local gunsmith and family friend of ours. He passed away this year. Unfortunaltely that bridge no longer exists. It was a tourist attraction. But during high water in the spring time snow melts, sometimes the river water got close to the deck.

1/2 throttle is affected mostly by the needle taper and clip position. Try raising the needle not more than 1 position at a time.

THX.
Next question is why were both machines still flat when you mashed the throttle ??
If it was flat in the middle shouldn't it pick up when throttle wfo ??
Confused.

I'm always amazed at the country you get to ride in!

Are these machines still running the electric pumps CO?

My machine and the death machine still run the electric pumps.
My brothers machine now runs a vacuum pump after the Engine blew up. My brother demanded it.

The death machine has not been out yet with the electric. It is the machine that I lend to anyone who goes for a ride with us. It's the street corner ho.
My machine has been on several rides with the electric pump with no issues.

My opinion on the electrics is that if it ain't ded on arrival it's good.

Went out again today. Same valley.
Small drama -- my brothers exhaust silencer blew off. The oddy frame actually broke where the bolt goes through the muffler. Since this thing does not have a spring to hold it onto the pipe, it actually blew off and landed on the road. Stopped for a repair job and good to go. Machines still need some more main jet. Mine got better when I went up 30 pts on the main. My brothers I only went up 20 pts. Not enough.

File comment: Stop by a creek and cook up some brats. You can drink that water as it is mountain snow water. It's clean. In fact you can drink any water out of a puddle up here. The only thing in it is bird shit and rain drops. Pic don't do it justice as that road is real steep even though you can't tell by the pic.
