My book “Josie’s Journey” is a not a motorcycle book, but rather a spiritual tale told in the story of one man’s journey to freedom. However, Josie’s is not a flowery yarn, nor does it venture anywhere near the sterile cleanness or deep phycological thought of many spiritual books:

Scotty you don’t realize how much your little tech tips help us riders that have got an older bike after riding newer bikes for ever. Derby cover tip going to help me with the shovel I just got. Derby cover leak at the bottom. Thanks bud you take care and ride safe. One day I hope to meet you on the road or at a rally.

[@sampeck4634]

Agreed. Wondering if that is my leak on my EVO Softail not the gasket.

[@scootertrampscotty]

Maybe i shoulda filmed the starter clutch replacement too. But im sure somebodys already done it.

It wouldn’t hurt Scotty. Never too old to learn. That’s bud.

They can keep the new bikes. Even if I could afford one, I wouldn't buy a newer Harley. Too many modules.

Hey Scotty how's it going. A friend of mine has a 2001 twin cam same fuel injection has 96,000 me not one single problem. As you know it's kind of a hit and miss with them they're either good or bad. Hopefully yours will be a good one. Probably stop by and talk to you in Sturgis again. Have a good one.

You can still delete the fuel injection on the twin cams.. the Swedish chopper builders have been using the twin cam and transmission in their builds for years now..

[@scootertrampscotty]

The Mule has a cam, 6 speed, Legonds shocks, cartridge forks, cut seat, and higher bars, and its all around simpler. Plus the history together. Things are always closer to your heart when u do them with your own hands. Even if its just a porch u built. A thing most modern riders will never know.

This May seem like an odd question…. What do you get to eat at the grocery store. Is it something for a quick meal and or get supplies for a few days. I’m looking for practical ways to eat healthy when traveling on my bike for month and longer trips.

[@scootertrampscotty]

That's a tuff one. I like to carry a bag of cereal then get milk the night before. Canned beans sometimes. Roman & Tuna, stuff like that. Mostly it's just emergency food. Like if I run across a nice spot and feel like stopping early then I'll want something to eat, morning coffee, and plenty of water. Otherwise I eat out a lot.

Great bike but I’ve always wondered how hard to put a carb on it when that early style injection fails. Great bike to ride. I enjoy riding it as much as my late model. Thanks for putting that section in this video.

[@Frankfoot986]

Super easy. Use a dyntec2000i ignition and coil, get a VOES switch and carb/intake at up. Take you a weekend tops

[@scootertrampscotty]

I haven't done it yet, but already have most of the parts. They tell me its expansive to buy all that stuff. I'm also told that getting a petcock in the tank is the biggest problem. I'll also use a stock ignition because every after market one I've used has ultimately failed. But that is a high milage thing.

@@scootertrampscotty that’s the thing about the clockworks windshield. It’s not really made to look through.
