    Cool Back on 2 wheels. (Horsetooth ride this morning)

    Lets ride. Need to figure out what all is wrong with the pile of bolts and bondo I picked up over the weekend... Lol. Probably a slower paced ride since I've been off bikes for half a year, and I'm not sure what to expect out of this would-be stunt bike.

    Re: Back on 2 wheels.

    Haha. Its ok, I have a reputation to maintain. Pretty much every csc ride I've been on has had me break down on one of my junker bikes. Clutch cable snapped, mysterious death (bad engine cut off switch), wind torn license plate, countless push starts... Etc... Etc... Etc... When you aren't willing ro spend more than 2 grand on a bike it would seem this is your fate. I've had this one out around town for about 3 hours without any issues aside from a loose chain (and a stripped adjusting bolt on the swing arm) so I'm going to take care of that this morning, mmmmmmmmmmmmmaybe even do an oil change, clean the chain, fill her up and take a few of the twisties around horsetooth to feel her out. Anyone is welcome to join me at the u-pump-it on overland around 11, just reply here so I know you're coming.
