Hey Guys,

I am leaving on a 300 mile round trip next weekend and my 69 V7's clutch
is doing some strange things. Around town everything works fine. But if
I get out on the highway and wind her up, the clutch plates seem to
start slipping a bit. Especially if I get directly on the highway. Then
as the bike warms up, it goes away. I've never really noticed this
before. I have all the adjustments set right on the outside. Just
wondering if this is something to be concerned about. A clutch
replacement is not in the cards at the moment. Is there something that I
am overlooking? I really cant miss this trip.
