but a little popping at idle from the fuel system

You might have some of that fine grit that accumulates in the main jet when it sits for a period of time.  Had one back in Mesa, AZ.  Same rake on the front end.  Continental rear tire.  Hard tail frame.  Open pipes.  Ran the tire at 15lbs. air pressure.  The expansion joints on the freeway were fun.     I had bikes with a full suspension after that.

Made it 160 miles round trip on the old Chopper.  Maybe ride it to Suches Georgia for 70s 80s  and 90s weekend at Two Wheels of Suches!  Depends on the rain storms I guess!  Woo hoo bike ran great!

Good to see your chopper last night, Bob.
You earned some "street cred" with your ride out here.
Lisa and I had a nice ride over to there on the Street glide.
Plenty of bikes showed up (two  V-8 bikes, including a Nitrous  Boss Hoss)
and a few cool cars (and one weird/cool Nissan..)
The establishment (Sixes Tavern) took social distancing seriously, and it was wonderful to get out to a Bike and Car Show!
