Another day too fine to miss. Spent time following the rivers roads to view the Mighty Thames bursting the banks.

Was out yesterday. Might have bagged off but some guy buzzed back and forth past the house on a ICE scooter so I had no choice. Promised myself no gravel - too muddy, but then broke down and ran the river road to check out how high the water was running. Today looks good as well.

Was out with the Squeeze and we stopped at a thrift shop. Was gonna just read in the car but decided to go in for a quick look. Ended up buying a pit stand similar to this. For $35 I'd roll the dice that it fits something I own. Turns out the swing arm pads work with the KLR and the spool bits...

NOTE: To protect the aluminum rims I cut up a 4 litre oil jug into pieces about the size of a business card, folded them in half and then rounded one end so as not to poke the tube. Tucked between the rim and tire where ever I used the lever. This worked really well.

Big rain last night and now it's 10C. No excuse not to get out for a plonk.

Sweet Ride. First Gen's Rock.

Coming back on the plane I started into Sinners and Bladerunner 2099. Bailed on both.

I brought my sled back from my buddies place next to the trails. Winter's done. Trail map is mostly red out here OFSC Public

Not on a KLR

@Evoex I believe you said earlier you and I have a date with the wall. I will try and make it out.

Brought to you by the people who gave us the Tiananam Square massacre. (some reading for you younguns 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre - Wikipedia )

Agreed. gravel will eat into your mileage.

Cheap jerry can.

There's just something about pulling up to the tree and getting staged. Every time I get a rush when the lights start to drop. Test & Tune days are cheap thrills. This year I'm hoping to actually do some bracket racing - so far I've only been racing against myself...

How about roofs? A nice simple gable roof with all the same rafters and two simple planes to shingle. Instead all the new McMansions have roofs with more peaks and vallies than an EKG readout. A sea of complicated rafters with every change in plane an opportunity for leaks.

Almost had the killer out on Saturday. It was dry and around zero. If it gets that warm I'll be out for a squirt.

I know saying this will cost me on the next one but lately my record for not pinching tubes has been quite good.

Paris is highly over rated.

Spooned new rubber on the KLX along with new chain and sprockets.

Went back to Greece for our 25th anni. Rented a scooter and had the best time. Doubt it's cheap though and the flight maybe longer than he wants.
