Racing will do that to you. so will deer,trees ,cars etc etc. I even got taken off my bike once by a falling tree branch.? what;s pretty sad about it is almost all of them have been from people running into me, over me or turning in front of me. Driving in Vancouver is truly frightening and getting worse every day. as far as Tym's gift of blowing up klr motors I still have a source i think although now pretty well any KTM has far surpassed Kawasaki's exploding KLR's

$1.22 a litre here at the moment. We get absolutely raped on gas prices here due to taxes. It's criminal, we have the 3rd largest oil reserves in the world and yet pay outrageous prices for gas. Any other western country and people would be protesting with pitch forks and torches... but canucks are sheep we just mumble and take it.

Got it. It's even better in person. I have quarateened it in the garage for a week just to be sure as covid is going nuts here again.

looky what popped up on facebook marketplace...I guess fate wants me to have another go at it It's all most impossible for me to find anything off the shelf that fits me but this one fits like a glove.I had the exact same suit as a spare until my trailer was ripped off with all my gear inside. She sold it to me for only $150 bucks. Any cheaper and it would be stolen.I pick it up tomorrow morning. it was her ex husbands and it looks like he only wore it to go to starbucks and pose. Not a bug or mark on it.

Stupid animals. Around here there so many we call them forest rats

You are so right about that Pete. I cannot believe how long it takes for stuff to heal ever since I turned 55. Every year it seems to get worse

I used to twist the right grip until I saw God then I backed off, but after smacking a deer going 65 mph mid point in a down hill tight corner in Northern California I have somewhat reformed myself. I take the high speed shit to the track now.

Or am i crazy? I love BMW's new M 1000RR . I've had my fleet for a long time and have enjoyed riding them a lot but lately i have been thinking maybe it's time to mix it up a bit. I know it's crazy buying a track only super bike but ....i really want to ride a M1000RR in anger on the track. This thing is sick....but at $35,000 bucks US..... yikes !!!!! I know it's stupid but i'm almost 60 and my body is failing. it's getting down right hard for me to crunch myself small enough on a sport bike to ride fast on the track. If i don't do it soon i will not be able to. Can i afford it? nope not at this time but if i sold all my other rides i might be able to swing it. What's the opinions should I grow up and act my age? or give racing one more hurrah even though i am too fat ,slow and big to ever be actually competitive now

made a BLT for lunch with a bowl of home made hamburger soup Yum, it was so good. promptly got up and made another one. now you know why i am a fat ass

I much prefer to tour alone.I never really plan anything just point my bike towards where i want to go and ride. I usually camp three days and then hit a motel the fourth day when i stink too much. So far I've managed to ride over !00,000 kilometers all over North America. Some of my favorite areas are right here in BC. Down the spine of the Rocky Mountains from BC through Idaho,Montana,Wyoming,Colorado, All the red rock US desert states. Utah, Arizona ,New Mexico, Colorado,Nevada. The entire Pacific coast from BC through Washington, Oregon, California. I also really liked the rural areas of Georgia, Alabama, the Carolina's,Virgina and Maryland.

We may rust but at least our motors hold together

Hi Carlo. Great to see you here
-
You need to put a inline fuel filter on the fuel line just before the carb. Also take off the tank and dump it out into a clean bucket. You need to look inside to see if your tank is full of crap or if it is starting to rust.

I've been very lucky and have met some greats. Mainly due to being friends with Danny Walker. He has invited me to 7 different American Supercamp, Road race Factory, flat track and supermoto schools over the years. I've been lucky to have ridden with or had as instructors Josh Hayes, Chris Carr, Nicky Hayden, JD Beach and Eric Bostrom. JD Beach was only 12 years old the first time i rode with him on a track. The kid was just an amazing natural rider. He left all of us in his dust. he was so small he had to use a step stool to get on his bike. The kid was unbelievable.
-
He is a really nice guy in person.Very down to earth. I consider myself very privileged to have him as a instructor By day two he had shaved almost 8 seconds off my lap times.

Hi Phil. Hope everything is great for you as well.

The procedure is simple. They sit you in a sort of hot tub bath and use this a device similar to a ultrasound to break them up. Then you piss them out. Your right about the drugs. You feel nothing on them.

Minor thing really. Hurts like a mofo though. Seems to run in my family. My dad really suffered from them. I only get them rarely.

Like a bad smell...it just won't go away

Hi Pete Was in the hospital for a couple of days. I picked a perfect time to fill up my kidney's with stones too big to piss out. Not a great time to have to go to a hospital. Now I have to quarantine for 14 days before I can go out again.
