Just an Old man in Texas
69 Years old, Long Distant motorcycle rider - Pump driven-Present pump 508 in the process of up-grading now to the new pump and monitoring system. I have been pumping lots of U-100 so I changed to U-500 last week. So far so good, I have been using approx 16 units of the U-500 / day compared to 200 units of U-100. It looks like I will have better control with the U-500.

I love photography, History, Mexico and Video -

Welcome to DF essdub! I've done some distance myself in the past. I can't travel much anymore, every miles takes me farther from my personal heaven.


That's my '90 XL this past fall at Smugglers Notch with my son on his new V-Twin.

Welcome to the group! There's another forum member who has also started using U-500, but not in a pump. There's a couple of recent threads that you should be able to find easily.

Welcome!

This is a wonderful forum. Very supportive and helpful!

You're the second new U-500 user that I've seen here recently. I'll be interested in hearing your experiences with it!
