Agreed. I donâ??t recall either of those Stags suffering fuel starvation or
'altitude' sickness. One on SU's, the other on Strombergs. Must admit I was
glad when we did the descent as the altitude was doing me no good at all. That
said, a great drive in both directions, a fine day and an amazing view at the
summit.

Thanks for the tip Randy!
Yea, the trip to Pikes Peak started from a conversation with some TriState
Triumph people at lunch after one of our â??spirited drivesâ??. The trip up
Pikes Peak was a bucket list goal of one of the couples. I asked my wife if she
wanted to go too and after saying yes, she suggested that since we will be out
west why not see some other sites? Weâ??re both retired so thereâ??s no hurry
getting back home. Thereâ??s about 8 of us going to Pikes Peak so far. I
havenâ??t mentioned our extended trip to the group yet but some of them may
want to go with us instead of driving straight back to Cinci.
Thanks again for the electric fuel pump idea!!
Tha car is already up on the QuckJackð???.
