Lots this weekend.
- Got my off-road rear spooned on.. then off again. Moved it later on in the day and a bounce on the floor yielded a *thud* - pinhole leak in the tube.
- Removed and refit my off road front. Hadn't thought to check the rim strip the first time and found it needed replacement.
- Performed open heart surgery on the Duc. Removed the horizontal head to chase the messed up spark plug threads. Had it off, fixed the threads and got it mostly reassembled
- Got a ride in too!

-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

other than that, my "race schedule" is more or less wide open!

don't forget the Beach 5K....most challenging depending on how many  oyster shooters were consumed the night before   Grin

Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing; however, they can still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

I did my 1st 5K race in 32:58, and I just completed the same race 1 year later in an unofficial time of 24:35

NICE!

Stole fluid from my rear brake to refill my clutch reservoir so I could make it the last three miles home from work. Also, learned an important lesson on how often to check fluid levels.

It was yesterday, but I pulled over to help a noobie rider who had wiped out his Monster on the tight left eastbound on Georgetown Pike after Old Dominion Drive.

Bummer for him (no injuries of note, yes?) Kudos to you.

I take it that his pants were just regular jeans?...guessing his gear probably wasn't too far off from that set-up as well....

I was going to provide details but then thought he might show up here and not want to share about the incident right away. Suffice it to say, the gear could've been better.
