Thanks so much for the advice and opinions guys. I plan to check adjustment and service the accelerator cable and a few other things. I was pretty sure that it must have been close to normal for this big of machine with no turbo or supercharger to move this slow. And RJ, I'll definitely but that bolt back under the pedal... ;) Unfortunately I can't legally approach any of these hill any faster that 55, if I could I'm sure I'd be seeing it move by a little faster. As far as that goes, I'm perfectly fine taking them and others at whatever my coach can handle.....I'm in no hurry and with the price of diesel jumping up so high, I better take it a little slower.
