That has very little to do with the car. Of course I don't go to car shows, I go to the track and they're very fast and capable there. The memes do exist for a reason though.

OK, now Joe's Corvette hate makes sense.
I should have added one key difference though: Corvettes are awesome and Harleys aren't!

It's really nothing to do with the cars themselves. I have no doubt they are fun to drive. There's just so many of them out there that they just don't catch my attention or get me excited. Go into the car cruise thread and look at the pictures. You'll see more Corvettes than anything else.

I've got an old dude adventure coming up. Went to Sportsman's this afternoon to buy some pouch meals. I'm gonna not die in the Oregon outback next week. Stay tuned.
I started to play with the Dorsett project yesterday. I was able to block up a storage tote to submerge the impeller. Apparently this engine can't accommodate muffs and a garden hose.
I unbolted the control set and switch panel. It cranks over just fine but doesn't send power to any of the places that matter. No spark. I have a Seloc manual but the wiring diagram sucks. When I get more time, I'll try to hotwire it. Also, I'll need to replace all of the fuel lines. There's so many kinks, I can't believe it ever ran.
There's a donor engine on CL in Portland right now. I'm tempted to grab it just for parts. It's a longshaft, but otherwise the same as this one. Maybe on my next work trip down there.

Chain and filter serviced, oil topped off. Gave it a once-over to check for loose hardware and got all loaded up for a week on the trail. I added some preload to the Bradley HD shock, then hit as many bumps and drops as I could find around my place for a few minutes. I guess I'm as ready as I can be.
