Stuff Happens.....

[Detn8er]

Because of some stuff that also involves a thing that also brings more stuff with it today was going to be my FIRST ride of the year.....However not 6 miles from my house I thought I felt a small "pop" from the right and rear of Boomer.Hmmm says me was it real or not. So I continue on and yep there it was again. Back to the man cave to check things out. I have just put new tires front and back and have never had any assembly problems before. Now I'm wondering if I torqued things in the proper sequence or forgot something.......Remember there has been stuff happening.
I took everything apart and all looks as it should.....OH NO only one more thing to check...UNIVERSAL JOINT!!! Damn I hate taking that thing out.
Sure as I sit here the universal joint has an ever so slight movement in it that tells me I made a good catch and saved lots of trouble down the road.  I also happen to be the proud owner of a new joint that is ready to be implanted in Boomer. 

Mileage for the year so far = 16.4

16.4 / 3 = 5.5667 per month x 12 = 65.6 means those new tires will probably last 182.926 years.

Glad to see you "riding" again Det.

Mark You are so good to Boomer.

But I understand I have four little ones to care for.

Honda Valk.  New Tire Installed today, motorcycle specific.

Kawasaki Mean Streak , New Tire Installed , Motorcycle Specific

KlR 650 needs nothing , don't ride it too often and then it just gets super mileage.

Happy as pie and a slice of cake can make you.

God Bless you son, I sure miss riding wiht you.

It won't be long.

Destined to do more rides with you ole Boy.

Oh Yeah my Interstate has the same exhaust set up you do , just a little shorter though.

Sounds real good.

It's the Motorcycle tire that really makes it so enjoyable though.

Boomer is my Friend and I love her.....  After hiding what seemed like 6000 eggs Sunday for the Grandkids I took her for a little ride. I realized I wasn't very comfy in an undescrbable area but pressed on for 71 miles.

I agree Al it's been to long and I miss riding with you guys as well. Fear not The Detn8er will return.

Looking forward to a CHimney Rock run or over to the Highlands of North Carolina.

Hang in there son like  a ten pound bugger.

That's a big booger.
