Well, sometimes getting a Bob from a Karen ain't so bad,.....at least that's what I've heard.

Nope!  Not yet.  It is just a sheet rock screw; it can happen to any bike.  (My red one, for example.)

That is good news!

Back in St. George to pick up the Miata. @eddd house was less than a mile to the left from here. 
 

[TEWKS]

Well, we didn’t save a baby from a burning building, with a nuclear bomb stored in the basement and a cat stuck on the roof  but, we did put in some service time.
Yesterday BTW.

I knew I should have looked into being a fireman!

[MikeB60]

Cat rescue! Where's Pat and his bucket truck??? Went well only about 40 feet up, Mike was up and down in about 10 minutes.

[TEWKS]

Ahh, that’s a cat bag hanging off his hip, good thinking!  

[wbw6cos]

Obligatory:

Laura caught this one while out.  Good day for the rider to be riding, not raining at the moment,  but give it some time, eh?

 

 

[TEWKS]

^ I take it you’re not in Kansas anymore?  

I happen to be a hot tub technician this morning! 

 

[TEWKS]

I guess we’re gonna brighten the day of an underprivileged child with a new unwrapped LT225/75R16.

C'mon, could be some 16 year old building his first truck

[TEWKS]

I know I’d be hanging it from a tree limb preferably over a body of water. But, I guess imagination isn’t sold at the Apple Store. Truth be told, they may have started putting the donations next to one of our tires. Not confirmed  but it struck me as funny.

That's just cruel...

That only means, I’m next!  
 

edit… is kinda pretty though… for about five minutes! 

[MikeB60]

Yuck!

[taylor1]

Loved it growing up. Snow days, tobogganing, skiing, snowmobiling, quadding, and hitting the roads before the plows got to them. Still love it now but only in pictures

[roadscholar]

An old buddy I hadn’t seen in years showed up at the CADS meeting last night.

Yep (for the most part….)

Work wouldn't accommodate my Dr. orders so I had 3 wks off & stitched Frank(enstein) back together as replacement parts were a month out.  
 

 

 

[ESokoloff]

A bit rough but functional. 
 

 

 

Hey, it’s a commuter bike.

The the worse part of this incident (for the bike) is that the tube that ties the bottom/battery frame to the top/main frame has a crack on the top/front weld & the bottom/front was stressed. 
I fabricated a strap to insure it holds together until I have it properly repaired (or not, it’s just a commuter bike with nearly 80k on it) 

 

 

[roadscholar]

[ESokoloff]

You all on the East coast enjoy your Fall colors. 
Here in SoCal we make do with the Sycamore’s Winter transition. 
 

Frank errr…. Sparky is one again.  
 

 

 

 

 

[TEWKS]

Wow, the late nights in the Laboratory really paid off, looks good as new or at least, as good as 80 thousand miles will allow! 
 

[TEWKS]

fire in the sky 

[TEWKS]

I don’t really know what a recon mission is but, I think I just went on one.  I ordered a truck last February  and just found out it landed in Ayer Ma. at the Rail Yard. So, I took a drive. I should of just asked at the gate but this was more fun.  I don’t think they’d of let me look anyway.
 

 

This fit the vehicle description. 

[Rougarou]

Ummmm, what you did was a recon mission.  Receive intel report on target, maneuver to operations area, get close enough to observe without detection, gather intelligence, exfiltrate without being compromised, then report your findings.

[Hosstage]

Then post findings on a very public social site.

[TEWKS]

I’m thinking, it’s probably not classified, top secret info I was dealing with. 

[Hosstage]

Well, secret enough that you wouldn't got to the front door....

[TEWKS]

True, but, it’s probably more a rejection phobia I deal with every now and again.

A few bikes at the CADS meeting last night with a good bit of interest in the Ducati Desert X.

Fortnine pushed out a vid on the X last week.  He opines it might be a near-perfect road/off road ADV choice.

[roadscholar]

Phil likes it but he's a long time Ducati hyperbike guy and has had a couple GS's, the current I250 he dropped in the sand a few times on the recent Trans Fla ride. Hasn't had the X off road yet but glad to see he's up for it in the future on something more manageable. My only complaint is it's way too quiet, need to hear that beautiful music.

[TEWKS]

Termignoni has a fix for that!
