Earache

Headed north tomorrow with hopes to stop just south of Canuckistan. Looking to do some off road and general messing around in Wyoming and Montana for a few days....

What? That's sacrilegious !

I know! It's the best.

Up at 0400 Sunday to moto marshal a triathlon. Spent the day riding at 15 mph and yelling at bicycle riders. So other than the speed it was just like any other day of riding around here. Got paid big money , too ($70).

Yup. Never had a problem with it at all.

It's the 1200 and has given me no troubles at all. I just change the oil at 3,000 mile intervals and it runs like a top. Fork seals going bad after 70,000 miles is the first issue I've had. I think the 700 is just as reliable from what I've heard from owners. It'd be perfect for logging roads, etc. The 1200 is a bit larger for any serious offroad stuff but fine for dirt roads and the like.

Must have. I dunno what mine has but it's a dog. Can barely pass a car when two up.

Moto Marshalling a triathlon again on Sunday. Won't be in any Canuckistan hotel rooms though.

Replacing a set of leaky fork seals on the Tenere today. Hot temps on the Arizona ride kinda baked them dry ....

Close! We're right next to Mount Blue Sky (nee Evans). Warmer today though.

Funny - 36F / 2C here this morning. Eventually got up to 55F / 13C. Nice day!

Yup - they need to up the capacity by at least 2.0 gallons.

Ridden PCH quite a few times. It's not all that great - but if ya wanna ride next to the ocean then that's what ya have to do. Ride report with pics here:

Just one day, that's all I want. Just one day when I can go outside and not be under some threat of imminent death from an animal, weather or some shit....

Just heard about Pete - very sad.

No - but it depends upon the State you're in. Colorado, for instance, requires you to buy an OHV sticker - it's only $25 and the fee goes to maintaining public lands for riding. No inspections or anything like that.

Probably 1/3 of Utah looks exactly like that and it's covered with trails. No lights required to off road in the US - where I assume this is from. Anyway, it sure looks fun!

Where's my pellet gun when I need it?

Gimme a yell if you' re thinking about maybe visiting Colorado, Utah, Wyoming or Montana - I'll tell ya where all the good stuff is.

More freakin' moose in the front yard. This time, Mom and her two kids ....

It's 6:45 in the morning and it's now 8C . I should go for a ride now while it's nice out.
