Two years ago or a little more, we were heading towards the Arizona boarder some where on Hwy 58. It`s all desert rocky desolate out there, kind of looks like the the pictures I`ve seen of the Mars lander.

the engine was running a little rough, seemed the more I tweeked things the more it stayed the same. so we were already cruising along about 70, so I just kept adding a few more numbers to it and next thing I knew were clicking along at 100 mph. didn`t notice the rpm`s.
so decided time to back off before I was talking to some stranger with the red light.

engine ran real smooth, no vibration. but still had the roughness after we got back to normal speeds.

usually keep the rpm`s around 3000 or so, I think 70 is 3500 on the 85.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
