Multiple MX rides

Sorry for the layoff. I have been training a lot for a 17 mile race. But in between the running, the Mrs. let me get in some rides.

We have ridden quite a few times for this summer, probably the most I have ridden my bike ever. IT HAS BEEN AWESOME! Let me see if I can remember all of the rides up to now:

Stansbury front: TYG, Handlebars and I
Kelley Canyon: Handlebars, Disney and I
Stansbury Front: Handlebars and I
Around the "B": TOYG, TOC and Lil girl, Lil gator and I
Around the "B": TOYG, Crack and I
Around the "B": TOYG, Crack, TOG, TOC and I

It has just been the best. And summer isn't even over yet! The MX shop was also open for business, although the only upgrades it has received has been more room by cleaning and organizing! We had a carb party after one of those rides. Still wondering why I have an off-idle bog. Need to take off the carb and do some more fine tuning. I think that it has something to do with my needle clip position.

I helped fix TOYG's bike - after the big crash. We took off his front steering system and exchanged his steering bearings. What a trip that was! We had to take the dremel, a sledge hammer and huge peice of conduit to get them off - and then use the hammer to put the new ones back on! But we got them done and now it is as smooth as butter.

I fixed a flat on my bike, washed it a couple of times, and now it is sitting pretty for the next ride. I think that there is a flat in my front tire, as the last ride it was pretty low. But my last ride, I was feeling it really good - until I started comeing down. 2 crashes. Yah. No good. No good at all. And TOG was behind me and saw both of them. Not good again.

But El Diablo is purring right now. What a great feeling that is.
