So what have I been up to in the past month… I changed the oil in the Breaker of Hip bones. I used Shell Rotella synthetic, and it seems to have done quite well so far. Her shifts are pretty smooth, and her clutch is as good as ever. The oil is marketed as big [...]
So I took a longer ride on Friday. I went to Leavenworth. I spent around five hours on the bike, and man did I feel it the next day. Whoa did I feel it. Some things I learned from this first outing of the year. My seat is hard, and only gets harder the longer [...]
I think I might take another ride today. Especially considering what kind of a day we are having up here today. Yeah. Following the wife as she drives topless sounds like just about the best idea ever. I RULE!
Had an eventful weekend. We had a wedding in our house! One of the first friends we made up here used our living room to get hitched. I was hesitant to the whole thing, but I am glad we went through with it. It was lovely and I got some decent pictures of it. I [...]

So tomorrow I will most likely have the chance to get back on Grace. No she isn’t quite done. Her right hand fairing is on back order. So the shop will be washing up the old one really good, and putting it back on for me. Not going to be putting any money down, because [...]

No, Grace isn’t done yet. Am I bitter? Only a bit. A tiny bit. The lean holder on her wasn’t wise on my idea of fixing her myself. Yes I got some good farkles out of the deal still. The parts that I am waiting for are of course something I was going to go [...]
Grace is getting all of her parts put on sometime this week. Am I excited? Good god yes. Since she isn’t getting a new swing arm (which was damaged in the wreck, but not ruined) I managed to save about $800 on repair costs. What did I do with that “spare” that was left over? [...]
