Squishy-Bouncy

The Progressive Suspension 465 rear shock for the KLR showed up. The stock shock has been in need of some attention for at least a year now. It is like Tigger's tail, far too bouncy. No pre-load and no rebound dampening. Hopefully I'll get the new beast in this weekend. I've got new wheel bearings and a doohickey for it too. One thing at a time though.

It's a well known equation. It's the formula for aliveness and independence.

Motorcycles + People + Time = Goodness.

Hostile Hostel

In a cool hostile in Sea Haven, OR with Last Minute Ryan. About to grab fish tacos and Margaritas. Cold and rain, but sunny now.

Go 2-stroke!

The Four Stroke Revolution has been televised, and it's over.

Cheap video camer

Hm. This might be perfect for some Tahuya action.

E-rock and I were contemplating just how much all these RVs we see at the Desert 100 typically cost. So, here you go. I'd guessed the big one we were camped next too was at least $100K, but it looks like it might be in the mid-to-upper $100K range for the big ones. Wow.

Still no pipe guard from P3

While there's still the chance that the pipe guard I ordered from Pirie Performance Products could arrive tomorrow before we leave for the Desert 100, I'm not holding my breath. Hopefully I don't need it. Hopefully I don't end up with a dented pipe. Hopefully I can talk to Eric Pirie and hear more B.S. about how "it's getting shipped out tomorrow". It was going to be "shipped out tomorrow" three weeks ago.

I'm a pretty tough customer/product reviewer aren't I? I mean, my god, I actually want the (often expensive) item I ordered to arrive in a timely manner, and I want it to perform properly. How dare I be so demanding!?
