The bike was dirty, the right blinker stopped working, a new vibration had developed at high rpms, and the gear and primary oil were due to be changed.

I did a good job cleaning it up, found a loose mirror, loose blinker, and loose distributor cover, cleaned everything, tightened it all up, lubed the chain, replaced the oils, fixed the blinker. It was still vibrating, torqued the head and tightened the valve covers, now everything is as it should be. I swear it is pulling stronger than it was when it was dirty, and once again people are yelling "nice bike" as I ride by.

Nothing was hard, but I just needed that quality time with the bike. Now I resent the time I am not riding.

It defies logic and makes no sense but I know for a fact that 'Grommet' always seems to run better when he's just had a clean and polish.

I always feel better when I've have a shower and shave.

It's you that's running better, not the bike.
Amounts to the same thing though.

Unlike all other bikes,Bullets are actually a living creature.That is why they always respond to our kind attentions.They equate our efforts to a showing of affection.Kind of touching,really.

I worked on the VW Bug some this weekend and this morning I had an intermittent electrical issue on the Bullet. I believe it was jealousy. Just needed the fuse clip adjusted. Yes I think they are living creatures too.

Yes, my dear friends, a Bullet has a heart and, more importantly, a soul, also!!!  And these are the reasons my Lady Bullet, as you know, has a first name of Perla.

I may have spoken too soon. I happened again. Definitely a intermittent electrical problem. Odd it only happens after sitting for a bit, not while riding. Oh, well I will investigate as I get time.

Mine too.  Seems the bike runs better after a few minutes of quality time.  My wife is not a bit surprised that I talk to my bike.  I think it listens.  Listens way better then the wife.  Or maybe it's because with George I can finish a sentence.

My I.B. Bullet runs great and trouble free if ridden regularly.
If I let it set for too long,,,,,then the fun begins.
