Our boy "Joey" goes everywhere w/ us except when we take the 6. He's not a big fan of the Crossfire,lol. But I'm thinking maybe this summer taking the passenger seat out so we can ride in our local parade, for laughs.(Roadster would be much better fit!) Oh..... he's 39"@the withers and 191#. Back on topic... please let us know what the mysterious high idle turns out to be. I still think it's the counter clockwise coreolis you have down under.
