Kudos on mystery activity despite the stalking.
I desired liquids on my ride but only about 12 ounces. I hang my head in shame.

It's a bolt on electronic fuel injection that fits where a 4 barrel carburetor used to be. Carbs are always a compromise IME.. I suppose occasionally they run perfect, but never consistently across conditions.
Mine was acting up on hot days (we get those here) and had a hesitation that annoyed me under light acceleration. This thing bolts on and runs like a modern injected car... start and go. Also, has better throttle response and seems to make better power in the low and mid range.

That is good for being off the bike so long. I rode about the same speed but it was cold. Can't think of any more excuses.
More hanging head in shame.

Now I pay people that know how. It's better for knuckles and less likely to result in fire or explosion.

I might have to keep up with the Jones and get a fat bike. Just gotta research a bit to see how to go about getting wheels and stuff for this thing, cuz *Not compatible with hubs for rear offset (Surly)
