Grasshopper

Greetings from the Grasshopper ??

Even I think that is lame-ass..... I like dirt, but I always clean after every ride and keep that chain lubed......? go ahead I'm waiting for it! ?

That's what she said.....?

Way to break it to him gently.....?

WOW, I really like this bike. I love the styling.....very nice! ?

Looks like rain here too, and the temperatures are starting to drop. They say perhaps snow in the hills this evening. So best be putting in my jacket and pant liners to keep warm, as a little rain never stopped the Grasshopper. ?. Also hope to get my seasonal bunch of pumpkins ? later today and then work on my next YouTube video. I could hype it up like @XTreme but I'll let the final masterpiece speak for itself....??

Very fun looking, I would love to ride something like that around my local trails.....? I would go for the one with the 21" up front.

Not my style of bike, but I did see someone in a video start one up and the kick side to side was amusing. ?

WTF is happening this month??? ? Boats, videos, hairy asses that make me want to poor bleach into my eyes....I'm gone a few days and everything falls apart....?

.........and now to return to your scheduled programming. ?

? Hilarious....

I know you're all wondering, what the heck was she talking about, orange spray paint, what the hell??? ? Well wonder no longer... ??. ? I think this is the most clean Bagheera has been since new, what a handsome guy!

That is a very good question... Some people get really excited about the feature, not something I use.

I'm so weird, I love the sound of that thing.....? Wow, you have a week of cleaning ahead of you now! Crazy water crossing!!! ?

Very excited today.....haven't been on the bike for 5 days and it seems like a long time. Servicing is done and I'm off for a ride today. Then to add some sprinkles to the cake the LOGGING sign has been removed on the road where I almost died in the spring.....lol. So we need to go check that out...... ?

Wow, so is it all abandoned? I can see the old old buildings fine, but some of the buildings look like they are in great shape, the one looked like a visitor centre or something. So strange and interesting. ?? Every time I see your bike on the side stand I get side stand envy (is that a thing?) , the one on the Himalayan sucks donkey balls. ?

ahhhh yes, the Himalayan is not a standard bike (for these days) as it needed a valve check at 500km service and 5,000km. I should be good now till 10,000. Fairly easy to do on the Himalayan and I love working on the bike in general. ?

No Stopping!! Rock Fall Area Ahead ?

They also recommend a valve check. Then of course I also check the air filter, spark plug health, change the oil & filter, give the whole thing a cleaning, chain maintenance and this time I also had a can of orange spray paint for a splash of colour! ?

That's awesome! ??

Yes, it's really easy to put up and works great, then it goes away when not needed. Way more affordable than having a garage built. ?

That was a nice story, had to laugh about the compass, mine has never worked either. ? From my experience I feel pretty much the same as the writer does. It does make the bike out to be a bit more fancy than it is, the build quality is shit really in so many ways, but for some reason it all works, most of the time and its lots of fun. ? It does surprise you as to where it can go..... Now back to the tent/garage for some valve checking....??

The weekend will start in the tent (aka poor man's garage) as it is Bagheera's 5000km service time. ? Looking forward to it, I enjoy working on the bike and the smell of oil and gas, can't beat it. Hopefully I will get everything done in time for a ride this weekend, but I did buy a can of orange spray paint, so I might get distracted. ?

That's hilarious, they were brand new, I just walked around for a minute before I took the pic....I can't help it I was born in a barn.....???
