No hammer time for me but I do want to try to get out to taskers sunday for a bit of riding and front suspension work (playing around with oil level). I'm checking with the mrs but wanted to simultaneously see if anyone else might be available. Anyone?
I do have my kdx tagged now so I'll be making some dualsport rides next year. ;)

I'll ride with ya.
The DRZ has fresh oil and coolant in it. Time to make it dirty.

Looks like it could be a rainy day so you don't need to feel obligated to come out... I'm still heading out but, if I end up by myself, I'll just run peters mill a bit so I can see how the front end of the bike is doing now.

It's been raining all morning and night there so just be cautious of all those wet leaves hiding the rocks. I was planning on coming out for a chill ride. However I am not fond of taskers in the wet during fall. Have fun!

It ended up being a wash anyway as I didn't empty the float bowl after just starting the bike last time out and the thing wouldn't start. Seems like just a clogged up pilot jet (little bit of debris in the bowl too so not just gas gone bad)... However, the float bowl gasket was swollen and I couldn't get it back seated in the slot. I'll pick up a fuel filter and replacement gasket this week and try again next week. Maybe I'll bring 2 bikes to make sure I can ride. ;) I'll try out my new front tire one of these years.
