What did you do to your bike today?

Clutch cable installed. Turns out the freeplay I was experiencing, was from a completely frayed cable end. One strand more and I'd be riding it clutchless... phew!

james said they gave him arm pump so :noidea:
:thumb: With the grips being so soft they made me grip harder = arm pump. I've since switched to an ultra hard compound full diamond grip, now I grip more with the knees/legs = less arm pump. :ride:

:thinking: I'm considering trying a half waffle next.
 
Finally got a frame mounted kickstand modified to work with my bike that was never intended to have one. No more looking for something to lean my bike up against when I take a break.

Tore the motor out and fully broken down to attack a bad crank seal. Figure I might as well throw in that wide ratio trans that's been sitting on the shelf while I'm at it. Just a few mods and I'll have a first gear. Hopefully be riding again at KOH in a couple of weeks.
 
Messed my bike up the other day. Putting in a wide ratio trans and re-sealing the cankcase I managed to destroy the left side case. That turned into a good day as I got to spend the afternoon with my youngest daughter and just hang out. :thumb:

But now I'm on a deadline. I've found a good case half and it should be here tomorrow or Thursday. I've then got a few days to get the bike back to running so I can leave for King of the Hammers on Wednesday of next week. As long as nothing else goes wrong and I can pull away for a couple of hours here or there, I should still be able to make it.........we'll see. :noidea:
 
Made the decision to back off on the bike and not worry about getting it ready for the upcoming week as it would make for a thrash-fest and I wouldn't have much family time before I leave. Instead I had a down day with my (almost) 5 yr. old and watched Beauty and the Beast in 3D. :smirk:

After 3 buddies offered up their bikes without hesitation or me asking, I think I'll try.......orange. Been wanting to give a 300 a shot. :ride:

Great family and good friends, what awesome blessings!
