Title: i just re-jetted my gs!
Post by: squidscareme on January 26, 2004, 08:50:34 PM
a haiku:

big jets in my bike
alot more power vroom! vroom!
half mile wheelieses

i couldn't quite get the last line right.... :oops:

i know this is a dumb question but when instructions say 'air screw 3 turns out' do they generally mean three 180 degree turns or three 360 degree turns? thank you!

"Quarter mile wheelies" fits nicely.  But then again, zen is metric, isn't it? or maybe, nothing is measured...  How about "front wheel in the sky" to finish?  Oh, enlightenment is such an elusive thing! ;)

PS.  three full turns.

I'm not much of a poet, but I've read "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance".   Haiku is always appropriate.  ;)

haiku and 'tuxedo t-shirts' are always appropriate.

there once was a man from nantucket,
I told him his ride was a bucket,
his eyes got wide and soon he got pissed,
so I let out the clutch and was off with a twist,
he started his bike or so he tried,
but all his mods gave him an unreliable ride
so I sped off smiling about how angry he'd been
and how much happier he'd be with a GS twin
