Took her for a run to warm up the chain before lubing the hell out of it for my
commuting runs this coming week. Let the chain cool abit then tightened her
up a 1/4 turn to just over 1/2 " play.
Kero rim cleaning routine again next week-end

Thanks Steve ..........I couldn't believe it .........had to keep my wits about me as
the traffic was in real close formation ....4 lanes, 4321, me in 3, two big rigs in one
an SUV and boat with a line of cages in two, shi.t head and a line including me
in 3 and a line of supersonic cages in 4..........summer traffic up here gets crazy
this time of the year........
Rainy day tomorrow ................4 wheeled box it is

That does suck, sprock. Never been hit with coffee before..

I ride in the rain all the time, now. I try not to sometimes, but a lot of the time I don't even care. I got slammed twice last week.
What's funny is that it never fails that I leave my rain gear at home ONLY on the days it frickin' pours....

I rode 753kms on Sunday! 163 songs on the iPod!

I was walking like a cowboy that night ... but was good to get some asphalt covered.
