isnt it strange when your truck runs great.

anyone ever notice when that happens. not that the truck was running bad before, but, for no real reason the thing runs awsome. so much so you really notice.

must be the weather or something, cuz the truck and the harely both are running absolutly awsome. i didnt do anything, got gas at the same place, driving same time of day.... ???wish i knew what it was id do it more often

I know what your saying..just seems to be extra smooth and a little more torque off the line.
Gotta love it.

i think my sb 350 really benefits from the cool night air ....that and there less cars on the road to get in my way....which also equals a smoother ride

:p

Of all my favorite things to do, The utmost is to have a brew.
My love grows for my foamy friend, with each thirst-quenching elbow bend.
Beer so frosty, smooth, and cold it's paradise pure liquid gold.
Yes beer means many things to me that's all for now cus I gotta pee.

I feel it too. On the down side I also feel sometimes it just isn't right, Not running bad but just not right. I like it the first way better
