Painting a rusted chain

Painting a rusted chain

It’s good Jason has two rear stands.  We prop up the SV and an old curtain is draped below. I’m a teeny tiny bit guilty of not doing chain maintenance.  There may be the slightest bit of rust on there. No grunge brush.  No kerosene.  Just a nice big paintbrush and Simple Green so I can [...]

Two happy endings please

Two happy endings please

My XT has left for winter vacation and my poor SV’s have died in the garage.  The street SV has a bad regulator / rectifier and the battery has been toast for a while but it will turn over if I keep it on the tender.  The track SV usually does pretty good but too [...]

Musical trailers and Rory’s hangout

We play a game called musical trailers where we have three bikes, two trailers, one tow vehicle, and one nasty dead rabbit.  Mark says let’s figure out the easiest way to do this and then make sure we don’t do it that way.  Where else can you laugh and carry on while the smell of [...]

The XT headlight is ALIVE

On my last dual sport ride, I managed to ride into a big pointy rock and shatter my headlight.  Fortunately, the plastic shroud survived minus the sticker getting torn up worse. Although I demolished the cover, the bulb stayed in tact.   I pulled the headlight off the carcass and popped it on the bike [...]
