Almost home time

[DesmoDiva]

Working at home today.

I have a client meeting tonight and haven't touched the project since I met with them last week.   

Good thing is going to be a crappy/rainy day. 

The rain should help finishing greening things up though.  Just the larger trees left to complete leafing out.

I worked at home today too 

I played Duc Dr.

I lent the TE to Grio as a DIMBY bike, and during the ride a few issues surface. Poor handling and a sticky throttle.

Prior to arriving at DIMBY I had adjusted the rear suspension up a lil because of a weak rear spring, that upset the balance of the entire bike. And at some point in the ride the throttle started to stick.

So today I took the tank, battery and airbox off and made sure all the throttle linkage points were proper.

I then removed all the controls and replaced the clip-ons with the bars that originally came on the bike when it was given to me. When I had installed the clip-ons, it was necessary to lower the front end of the bike to facilitate mounting the bars above the top triple. I love the look of the clip-ons, but having them mounted below the the top triple, made for the bars being way too low. So after having replaced the bars, I then raised the bike back up by pushing the fork tubes back down.

A huge sucess. No more sticky throttle, and a bike that handles waaaay better than before. One of these days I want to learn how to fine tune suspensions.

Your brake fluid makes my brake fluid look like used motor oil.   

Guess it's time to change it.

You apply for the H-D job?

filled out an app, but I ain't hold'n my breath. They have a "super ride" test ride event going on, and I think they are looking for people to help out in a temporary sense.

I saw the coolest thing on the news channel the other day. It was a tri-fold business card. The outside was just like a normal business card. When it was folded out it had your resume in it just smaller. It was normal business card size as well.

I'm alive...

I had an interesting experience today.

A 996 with a throttle stuck wide open is a unique experience.

One I do not wish to have again.

Ning.

Sounds like it could have been a panty chaging experiance.  Good to hear it came out okay.
