Last post by Kawtriplefreak - April 21, 2024, 01:22:08 AMTook the Gray Ghost out for a final test ride. Running great. Temperature was 195 degrees as I merged onto I-66 for a little high speed run and I accelerated to 80 MPH. Temperature spiked to 221 and the left cylinder went away. No boiling over and no loss of coolant or white smoke. Temperature dropped to 175 and I knew if I shut it off it wouldn't be starting again and I was 8 miles from home so I limped back to the shop on the RH cylinder at 45 MPH. I pulled the plugs and both were dark but the LH plug looked like it had dark flakes on it. I did a compression test. RH cylinder 108 ( not great ). LH cylinder 0 ( really not great). I am guessing there is now an extra window in the LH piston crown. I uncovered the Phoenix Project and checked it over as it hadn't been started in 3 months. I pulled one fuel line off of the Gray Ghost and got my funnel and gas can and drained the fuel while I was test riding the Phoenix. All went well on the test ride so I put it up on the lift and gave it a quick detail, checked the chain adjustment and greased the swingarm. Deals Gap lineup has changed to White RZ, Phoenix Project and 75 RD350.
I don't have time to investigate the Gray Ghost further as I have a 6 day work week this week so I need to prep the trailer and start packing as I can in the mornings this week plus get all the other normal life crap done before I go. I am grateful this happened here and not on the Dragon or somewhere in the mountains of East TN where there is no cell service. The Gray Ghost will live again..

Last post by kpke - April 20, 2024, 08:12:10 PMFriday, 4/19/24 OFFICIAL DAY ONE OF THE ONE MOTORCYCLE SHOW
Before I forget, remember I would not be able to drop my trailer at Sarah's house. I made contact with my good RZ friend Charlie (whom I've never met) and he said I could leave the trailer in his driveway. Very kind of you sir, THANK YOU. It's a bit of a drive to his place and thankfully they made accommodations at the show for people to leave trailers. I left it there after setting up Thursday.
We arrived at the show Friday, parked, followed some other people and a minute or two later found out this was not the way to the entrance. Lost again. WTF. A few minutes later we got to the proper entrance and were let in.
They have free moto parking.
After getting through a lot of vendor tents here is the entrance to the giant ship building building.
And now entering the show.
And a few seconds later, holy smokes, they moved Julians bike just left of center in a really cool spot. I was thrilled to see it out of the previous spot. Sent Julain a text right away.
After that excitement wore off and a few seconds more walking, holy smokes again, they moved the 500 front and center about 50 feet into the building. Yes, I was elated.
So happy was I that I searched endlessly the whole show for the most beautiful model I could find to pose with my motorcycle.
More to come.
