weekend wheeling 1/2/10 Sat

Yes, he did thanks...He thinks that since his carb is located adjacent to his manifold, he got a little vapor lock which he initally thought was his trans acting up. He needs to install a plate between the two.

Once on the freeway and had some air moving across it, it settled down.

We followed him to the Circle K just in case. Once he made it there I continued on into Phoenix. I had to drop my brother off in Glendale before returning to Scottsdale so it ended up being a late night. I then woke up Sunday with a cold. Oh well, it was definitely worth it.

That was a pretty good climb, what 3000ft in a few miles? I was flogging it, so bound to make some heat!

the cruiser indicated a bit hotter than normal on that climb but went right back when I switched the heater on

You were looking for something else to put on the Kurt list? IIRC he carries the Marlin seals, I would get them for your rig.

This is a great trail, jumped to near the top of my favorite trail list. The first pic is the start, can see the highway cut in the background.

Fantastic, changing views the whole way.

I would rate it ~3-3.5 ish, not hugely challenging, but some pretty good climbs and plenty of pinstripe action.

The way we came out was a long, graded road the goes through the pines in the Pinal Mountains. There is a shorter exit that is reported to be more challenging, it also doesn't cross the ranch (privately owned land).

I notice there are alot of people in this club are handy with a camera as seen throughout the various threads.

Good stuff!
