Good times Eddie.


Tonight I help alwaysummer put his back tire on, adjust, clean and lube his chain, change his oil, and filter. It was raining and I took some tools with me so I drove my wife's car.

I was just there for moral support (he had everything under control) and Bsing had a beer then went and watched the Laker's game at Panini's.

On my bike I cleaned the bugs off and check the normal stuff screwing around in the garage.

Got to tinker with 2 bikes today. It was a good day for a rain day.
 
Drove through torrential downpour, hydroplaning the whole 40 minutes to Newt's house where I made him remove three tires from my extra wheels: 2 SV, 1 GSXR. It was more jungle gym, rigged tire tool acrobatics again - these tires gave us real trouble but we won out in the end.

Who needs a front or rear 2003 SV wheel or front 2004 GSXR600 wheel? Rotors included.

It was a close call between beatings with a 5' 2X4 by the Shaggy, or removing tires with it. I only chose to remove the tires because it gave me the chance to show off my left-handed dorm grip.
 
Put in some more work yesterday on the seat cowl project. It's getting closer to final prep and paint before making the mold. A few more sanding sessions and bondo, and I'll be close to happy.

Intimators should be here today as well :)
 
Rode the SV to ACH with some ocmoto peeps today, had a great time!

Meet up spot.

Stop at the Shell station, it was drizzling, and there was bad fog going up around the 3-4,000 ft range, then it was clear.

Break at Newcombs.

Stopped to take some pictures, Tom noticed his headlight was out.

Lunch at Grizzly Cafe, and the light was fine - had blown a fuse.

3 of us rode ACH back, it was still fog and drizzle there. The other 5 rode east to the 15 Fwy and headed home. Next time we'll go to ACH from the eastside to avoid the fog and drizzle. ;)
