 I don't think that will happen. I've given up my skis too due to balance issues. Got a stationary bike to make up for lack of that. The Fut's engine is almost out for 50k R&R so no lack of activity. :-*

 Update! The Futura is all apart and here is the cruddy valve. Itis strange that none of the other intakes are dirty but I'm changing all 8 stem seals while I'm in there. The real question is whether I'll get the bike together B4 next Winter! GJ :o

Couple of pictures while you are at it.  Most of us are able to only change the oil and filter.  Your deep dive into things are always interesting.....and admirable.  Gene
