So....it's the middle of February. We're in an El Niño. There's more snowpack base at all the Tahoe resorts than there's been in eight years! But lately, the rain has disappeared. The weather is in the upper 60's. For the past two days, I decided to take advantage of the dry weather, before the rain starts up again. And boy! was it glorious!
I put some air in my tires and made sure my battery was topped off. I forgot how much fun it was to split lanes and rip through all that traffic standing still! Getting on the bike actually inspired me to do a little much needed work on it- last night, I took the throttle grip off and gave it a lube job. I also tightened up the throttle play a little. Last week, I did a slight clutch adjustment, since the clutch was engaging too late on the clutch lever release. Now, everything feels great!
How I miss riding! And the with the Bay Area commute, it's the best way to get to work on time!
A collection of blurbs stemming from mostly the motorized projects that I do. Some posts mixed in have to do with my experiences in X-ray school. (Some entries are from older blogs that I killed off.) Some of my toys are a Mazdaspeed Miata that I work on and take to the track, a little Harley that I can't stop modding and an old Yamaha RD400 that I've been collecting parts for over the past 15 years. When I'm not wrenching, sometimes I mountain bike, sometimes I snowboard, sometimes I make beer.
