I'll be back this weekend, but the gravel is going to take awhile to become rideable.
Joys of living on a farm.

LMK how much of a pita the valve check is, not near 12k yet but hope to get a lot closer this season.

work -> gym -> balance and mount tires

Will do. I'm over (14k+) but didn't want to stop riding during the season, then got busy...

Here's hoping I can find a cheap shim kit and my service manual!
Stupid packing to move...

Since it was a rotax motor I was hoping they were the same shims as my futura, I have part of the motor pulled apart and i would have taken the shims out and kept em as spares LOL

Well heres to hoping I get that far by seasons end. I did put the saddleman seat on and will probably change the oil either thurs or friday and get it out for a sunday ride for a few hrs.

It has begun.. 2 giant bugs and what could have passed as a bird struck my helmet today. It is summer. Yes, I said that right. Not spring; summer. Anything 80*+ = summer to me. It's going to be really fucking hot this year. ; ;

Found the manual, so I should be good.
Now just wait for the shims to show up and a free weekend... probably 2 weeks away yet.

I would like to wear out the Angels that are on there (hope they last 8k, I have 1k on them) and get another set broke in.

I've done 15 miles on my bicycle this week...
