Took off Saturday with two other couples to head to Kingman AZ to meet a bunch of other hooligans but one of out brother had nothing but trouble so it took us way to long to get there and the had left. We did finally make it to Kingman and had a bite to eat, I had planed all along to split off and ride to Flagstaff and spend the night, so that's what I did and the other limped into Laughlin for the night and then back home in the morning. I woke up in Flag and had breakfast and headed north to Page AZ and then across to Kanab UT, then ST. George UT then home to Henderson NV. Nice ride just just the last 300 miles were total $hit. Gust of wind up to 50 mph, cross winds from both sides, head winds, cold and clouds coming in like crazy, needless to say I was high tailing it for home so as not to get wet if it could be avoided, and it wasn't my day to get wet, thank God. The wind beat the hell out of me and it was time for the hot spa, oh yeah baby.  |

Well he would go about 5 miles and begin to loose power starving for fuel. We thought it was vacuum line related since they did a bunch of work to her like de-smog and jet, that's my old green Valk. I was teasing them, "She ran fine when I had her. But they said they made it home just fine after a fresh tank of gas, So, maybe just bad gas. |
