Afaik the main worry with old pgm-fi is capacitors failing. easy fix. secondarily: unobtainable iacvs. yummycheese posted:hmm. i worked on some fuel injected Honda civics from the 80’s and they were a bit terrifying. single port injection. massive tangle of vacuum lines. TBI!!! Even the multiport A-series in the Accord/Prelude had a metric shitload of vacuum hoses for its various sensors/actuators.....just like its carbed sibling.

I keep printed and pdfs around. Printed is handy to have on the bench because its battery never dies and it doesn't care if your fingers are filthy within reason. Touchscreens and keyboards tend to mind. a pdf on your phone is splendid for traveling with when things go wrong. If you don't own American or European you can ignore this advice.

April is still a little early in some parts along 395. The Bodie hotel in Bridgeport is good. If you take 95 Mitzpah Hotel in Tonopah is also good. Seconding to fuel up whenever possible. Expect winds. I was camped out at DVNP for the most recent snow front. WIth the snow pack this year in the Sierras expect a slow start. It's generally well cleared by snow crews. I've ridden through there in November and February in years past but the uh snow has actually arrived this year.

a 20 year old goldwing sitting for 20 years will start with a fresh battery and maybe some fresh gas. Bets are off for a 40 year old wing sitting for 20. The worst is probably the 4 rube goldberg carbs strewn about the apartment. There's an undercurrent of perverts that retrofit aircooled vw carbs. That said, I'd take a free wing.

I don't care that it's raining with up to 45mph gusts and I've a shitload of errands to run. Absolutely wasn't in the mood to drive a car around.    200 miles on the tank repair and it's still holding. Nothing more than gravel/twin track though. The bushing bits came in from KTM so I'll throw those on and take it out to the back 40. Few jumps/drops skill building will prove if it's trustworthy or not.

Hepco & Becker Gobis. Twin wall. Doubles as a cooler. Doubles as a 1 ish gallon water tank if a ktm petcock is screwed onto the case. They're too small for a helmet and are heavy for what they are but are practically indestructible. The dent was my fault ehhh 6 years ago on a rocky jeep trail I probably had no business being on

K1600 or bust I rode one. Jesus what a heavy bike. I can't flatfoot my bike with both feet. But I don't really care. Most humans cant with a 37" seat height.  Buddy/neighbor/etc has a R100gs. It's purple. I didn't know it was such. But now that I do... I kinda gotta have it.

My impression was it's the bike to buy if I'm going cross country a couple times per week for life of the warranty. I've done Tuscon to SF (1k-mi-ish) in a day on the old ktm. It was kind of a slog for me. The bmw would just shrug that off and you'd be up for making a return trip.
