Heh that would make sense if I had a bike... But since I don't and he hadn't ridden in over a year...

Why was it fishtailing?

Thanks, and no idea why it was fishtailing so badly. Just happened suddenly too... I think it may have thrown a wheel weight.

Got back from 3 days at da Kalahari. OMG is it so much fun. So much better than the Great Wolf Lodge. My 6 yr old could surf on the kneeboard better than 90% of the guests that were there. He almost did better than my wife and I and it was all of our first times. I got him to do a roll with the knee board and he made it all the way around but turned his board sideways when he got all the way around and lost control but hey at least he was able to roll completly around and that was my goal with him. Heck it took him his 3rd time down the wave and he pulled himself up to his knees on the board.

Now to deal with insurance to get 2 new helmets, gloves, and parts fixed on my bike..... I am more worried about how much I will get towards new helmets than anything because I dont want a $100 helmet as I paid $300 brand new for mine. I did find out I have a $50 deductable because state farm doesnt offer a $0 deductable for motorcycle insurance.

I went out riding with a couple of guys from the local Ducati group. My KZ is woefully underpowered to try to run with those guys.

Then we stopped at a coffee bar and I had an espresso. The rest of the way home I was a resonate frequency.

Worked on my old SRX today. Technically its my brothers now but Im gonna ride it when it gets road worthy. Cleaned the carbs, got the front caliper unstuck, bleed the brakes, filled and charged up the old battery (we will see if it can hold a charge) and got it running for a short while. I think the float needle is still getting stuck. I'll pull em off again I guess. Good thing i like to work on carbs.

Went to the grocery store and came back with my first little jar of caviar. It was just the cheap stuff but it was good. Like tiny little salty grapes popping in your mouth, squirting out juicy bits of fish baby juice.
mmmm hmmmm

I found a EN250 for $350 on craigslist. I've texted the guy a couple times and will go see it in the morning.

What a stinko. It wasn't complete, the motor seemed froze up, and the trannie would only go into first. I pass.
