Hrm still working on the KTM a bit- we'll see what can be done in time for the weekend . Also I need a stand/lift to swap the wheels. I'm guessing you're looking at dirty roads Pepe?

You don't need a milk crate... all you need are some cardboard boxes, put them flat on the ground and lay the bike over them! [laugh]

I use a couple of jack stands under the frame lowers...
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Might be able to pull that off. It's a bit crowded due to the crap my wife's stashed there and taken a see-no-evil stance on. But it might be doable.

Been getting down an dirty with maintenance items... bike was in good shape but needed tending too.
Brake fluids looked more like good rum than cheep beer.
Plastic sucked into the filter
Chain too slack and guide in the wrong slot
Rear brake pedal that was set way to high to be useful

I do need to get the silly inspection done though... running out of my 30 day grace. But that might wait until March so I don't get cheesed out of a month.

Not so much with the milk crate. Might work for an MX bike... but at 300+ pounds I can't make the lift to get it up on one

We'll see. Saturday's a bust anyway. Just as well, I need to finish the refresh on the Monster Forks and get that bike rolling again. It looks a bike sad with this front all apart.

Their Creek Crossings & Dirt Roads was useful when I plotted my routes.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
