Earache

Wish I had a pic of Pete - but alas. One from last week....

I dunno - it's not even my dog! He belongs to the neighbor at my shop and wanders in when the door is open to make himself at home. Fucker acts like he owns the place.

Oil change day today. My assistant thinks he can do a better job than I can. He's probably not wrong...

Installing some new tires today in preparation for next week's trip. I should own stock in Dunlop...

Same here - smoky as fuck from Canadian wildfires. Normally, you can see great detail in the mountain by my house. Not today......

$33,500+ though - yikes! Bikes are getting sooo expensive.

Damn - that ain't good! Have much smoke from Canada? Really smoky here. 48F this morning though.

That hasn't stopped Marcel.

You'll look good on it - regardless of what the others say....

Berries " of color" is more appropriate.

Gonna have an entire bike in the "keep" pile soon.

Nice! Going to be 40C in Utah as I depart for there Thursday - and I thought that was hot. Only 72F / 22C here today - should be out riding in it. Take pics for us!

Bad knees are no joke! Hope you get your sorted out.

Well fuck - now that you put it that way, it does sound like a long haul.

Moto Marshaling another triathlon on Sunday morning. Tonight my bud's band is playing a show and their dummers will be using another instrument I made for them - a Taiko Cannon. Kinda looks like a auto muffler to me...

We live at 10,000' so 75F is about as warm as it ever gets. Was at my shop in Denver this week - 101F. It's great up here in the summer but it can suck in the winter. Next week's ride onto Utah will be hot - well over 100F there

I'm 8 years old than you . I don't often act like it though.

That would be nice but I'll be wearing my usual Klim Badlands Pro jacket and pants. Wear them in all weather - the only thing I ever ride in.

I'll see if I can find ya another HD shirt if I happen upon a cool HD shop in Canuckistan or some other odd place.

Nah - doing it on the Super Tenere as it's more comfy for me. I don't really know how to prepare for the hot weather though - not much I can do about it. Just gonna have to sweat. Got up to 76F / 24C here yesterday - hot!

Have next month's trip planned and hotels sorted out. Leaving August 4th. Nice little jaunt to New Hampshire and back. Who's with me? anyone? Anyone?

i hear ya - almost got up to 70F / 21C here today - hot as Hell ! Nice , cool 59F / 15C now though....

He's not my type - too short.

Utah trip is in 9 days and my co-rider on the trip just cancelled. Hate when that happens. Guess I'm going by myself.

But today, before the trip, I gotta remember how to put these back on.....
