Damn it~ I&#8217;m not lucky~<br \/>\nA fuse blew! Well, it blows, but tracking down the cause takes time.<br \/>\nI remove the upper cowl. Whoa! There&#8217;s a can-type turn signal relay held in place with a cable tie.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s it! Bingo\u266a I&#8217;m so great~ but this isn&#8217;t the time for self-praise.<br \/>\nThe Katana I brought in this time has an R1100 engine with a 750RR carb, and it looks awesome~<br \/>\nBut&#8230; the thing is, it connects &#8220;tight,&#8221; and the carb setup isn&#8217;t quite right either, so<br \/>\nit stalled several times~ Oh man, I was so embarrassed~<br \/>\nWe finished up safely. On the way back, I stopped by &#8220;Ichiroku-ya,&#8221; which the boss recommended, to double-check.<br \/>\nI eat tonkotsu ramen with extra green onions while worrying about the rain. Mmm~<br \/>\nStaff: &#8220;Just let us know if the flavor&#8217;s too strong or too weak! We&#8217;ll remake it right away!&#8221;<br \/>\nWow!! You&#8217;ve got real guts! I like that. (The spirit, I mean)<br \/>\nBack at the shop, I set up the carb. First, synchronization! It&#8217;s all over the place\u2014the worst&#8230;<br \/>\nI manage to finish and want to blur the throttle opening, so I adjust the PAJ.<br \/>\nUgh~ it&#8217;s not an AS type! I mutter while repeatedly rebalancing the PAJ and PS<br \/>\nand the exhaust smell checks out. For now, it&#8217;s good to go.<br \/>\nDuring the test ride, a 10R passes me. I got passed! So I caught up and passed back&#8230;<br \/>\nThe tires are old and the road is wet, so I don&#8217;t push too hard.<br \/>\nToday I took the surface streets home. Going home on surface streets instead of the highway is nice too.<br \/>\nWhat does a star that couldn&#8217;t become a shooting star wish for?<br \/>\nI&#8217;d like to see a hundred million yen in cash.<br \/>\nOpp You Ai!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Opp You Ai isn&#8217;t English, you know~ It&#8217;s a mishearing&#8230; I won&#8217;t tell you what I thought it was.
