BRRRRRRR!


Went for a bicycle ride yesterday, 14.5 miles. Damm was it cold! Wore the same gear I'd wear if it were 80 degrees out, but it was 42. BRRRR!.Felt good though.
Also, I got the rebuilt shocks back for the Gixxer!! Put those on last night and torqued the bottom yoke to spec. Have to wait on the top yoke til I can get the brake system back together (after I recieve the rebuild kit) and on the bike. But, I will put the front wheel together and on. Little by little. 12 days 'til BHF!!!!! Come on good weather!

Snow???? Really???


Just a few days ago I rode the motorcycle to work. 75 degrees. It seemed that spring had come and we were done with this. People were wearing shorts and sandals and the buds were coming out on the trees. Waking up today there was snow everywhere! WTF. The track bike is still in pieces. Forks should be back tomorrow, along with the new rear shock, stomp grip and brake pads. Waiting on the caliper rebuild kit 'cause they were shot. Seals were popping out when I tried to clean them. First trackday is in 13 days. Will I make it? Will the weather be good? Who knows?
