I rode today, what did you do? I rode the Nighthawk to town to get some parts for the VALK. Then I spent a large part of the day remounting the rear tire, made sure that the splines were lubed and changed the gear lube. Then I took it for a short ride to check it out.  |

I put on about 50 miles on the Vstrom. Inadvertently ran into 'road construction' around a slight curve.
3/8 of a mile of newly laid golf ball size gravel, the black top was gone. Made it through ok but was a real eye opener what with the front wheel 'searching'.
Had a porterhouse steak on the grill and wine to finish the day.

I replaced the plywood on my trailer, it was 7 years old. And then I replaced my stock horn on the valk with 4 monster horns. 139 db each. They will hear me now.

Went over to my daughter's house to check on why the toilet wouldn't shut off. Had to go to Lowe's and get all new innards for the tank. Wound up having to completely remove the tank and replace everything in it. I'm not a plumber and hate having to do anything that has to do with water and making sure there's no leaks! Pretty much "flushed" my whole afternoon down the drain!  |

Yesterday, I walked thru Klamath Kruise event. About 500 cars on display at one of our Parks. Anual event. Started drouling around the mid/late 60' Camero's. Had one when I was younger. All but a 10 or so of these 500 vehicles really look great, those 10 still need a lot of work.
Spent a hour in the afternoon looking at Kinetic Race vehicles. They have to be human powered, able to go on the street, up/down on gravel roads, thru sand, mud, and water. Interesting.
Ride maybe later today.
