Well Santa got me some snazzy riding related gifts. Got a very nice joe rocket mesh jacket. Fully armoured so that's a first for me (always been leather jacket) so it'll be good in the summer. Also got a nice low profile sissor jack for working on my bikes this winter. The sr lost its center stand with the new pipe and I chopped off the shitty welded on side stand on the dirt bike. Also got a chain monkey chain tool. Looks like it'll make life a bit easier when I do chain work (I remember this being an issue with my seca).
Yay Santa

Haven't done any work on any bikes yet. Thinking of selling the dirt bike. I think it's a bit more of a job then I want to deal with.
Gonna take the front forks off my sr and bring it to the shop and get them redone.

The snow finally melted from the roads at Shuswap ....there was a motorcyclist out enjoying the dry roads. I think he may have been the first one of the season.

Sold the dirt bike. Got my forkseals redone (removed The forks and brought them to the shop. Saved a buck or two) I have all new chain and sprockets ready to go. Have to try my hand at that job one day. Lol.
Went for a ride down in niagra again. Also found out my step son loves to go for rides on papas motorcycle.

Brought my bike to northern New York for my annual summer vacation. Doing some rides with my boy and step son. Had to get new bar end mirrors. My brother borrowed my bike and while he had it the mirror fell off and was flattened by a following 18 wheeler. Oh well. Got anew set that I like a bit better. Changed the spark plug. I'm going to be replacing the chain and sprockets soon too.

Got more of my maintainance gear down south. I believe this week off will be chain n sprocket time. My VW Jetta is getting snagged up in September by the VW emissions lawsuit settlement and I'll be getting a '16 ram eco diesel. Looking forward to it.
