Liberal Kansas ................guess who came from here? Well Dorothy of course.......I guess the Munchkins shipped her house back from OZ....................
Meade Kansas was a hide out for the infamous 1800's Dalton Gang.
This reportably was their joint..............for a "nominal fee" we could have gone in..........it was closed.

We fought 20-30 MPH head & leftside winds all the way to Texas. 50 miles from home the old BMW crapped out on me. Started hitting only on one cylinder. I reached down while moving and pulled the left plug wire and ....no change. Luckily a picnic area was up the road so pulled in and started checking things over. Plugs were a bit sooty so cleaned them & swapped them side to side. Ran it down the road a mile and still missing. Had good spark / compression so decided that a carb problem was the deal. Pulled the left side carb diaphragm and it was split wide open. I've seen them fail a little at a time with pin holes but never saw one come apart like this.............
Of course I carry an extra one...........three to be exact.......a quick change and away we go.....First time the old Hag has ever bit the dust on the road...........home safe and sound at 5:30 PM. We've now gone North / South / East / West..............we'll need to get creative for the next trip....
