Grasshopper Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Hi My name is Michelle (aka: The Grasshopper) Welcome to Grasshopper's Ride, the adventures of a mild mannered, middle-aged bookkeeper on a motorcycle. Highlighting the beautiful Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, Canada. ------------------------------------------- Let's start with an Intro! With my bike down for repairs, I have a bit of extra time on my hands. So I have prepared a trailer for my YouTube Channel, Grasshopper's Ride. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChWHkOm8ZDUQ8XzdHkbM9ng?view_as=subscriber Have a watch, it's silly, funky and just good fun on two wheels. Have a great week everyone! I'll post other videos here for your viewing pleasure. Unless everyone starts throwing rocks at me, then I'll quietly retreat back into the forest again.....lol 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 It has been a few weeks now since I was able to truly adventure with my Himalayan Bagheera and I sure do miss it. I find myself watching some previous videos just to relive the moments, one reason I enjoy making the ride videos. Here is one from a great adventurous ride. The needed part is days away so new rides will come soon. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fallsalot Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I always carry something like this for that bit of unscheduled trail maintenance https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bahco-Laplander-Folding-Saw-396LAP/dp/B0001IX7OW/ref=asc_df_B0001IX7OW/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=222086461140&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12350510019827449991&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007453&hvtargid=pla-385867917582&psc=1&th=1&psc=1 But i had to resort to something larger a few months ago when i came across this, i struggled to get the fat 650 through there but after a return visit you can now get a bus through there 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can still borrow a bike once a week at least. Hopefully you can ride again soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was our first day on the trails and we were just so excited to ride we forgot about such tools. It made for a good memory... Awesome clearing job by the way..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I used to ride through mud too, got old quick. You don’t have a choice, though, I think? Do you know what dust is? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't get dust often, when we do its only good when your on your own, when your not you cant see or breath and your bikes filter gets clogged quicker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 10 hours ago, XTreme said: Is it fixed now Michelle? This video is from May, had some time to work on my footage lately. I spent all yesterday working on the most ridiculous after thought on any bike ever. The ABS was added to meet regulations, so they stuffed it into a silly spot. I finally got the line routed and on and now I'm worried it isn't tight enough. The true test is to take it out today and get it hot. If I don't have a shower of brake fluid I will be one happy girl. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
