Tail Stand

Looks fairly normal minus a rear wheel.



Can you believe the front wheel needs to be 20 inches off the ground
to properly bleed the air from the cooling system! So I figured
this was the only way to do it. I also couldn't find any willing
people to hold it up for me.




looks big from here!

Meadows Drive

I ditched work early today and decided I could use a little ride.
Now there was a nasty rumor that a nice little road I enjoy riding
had been patched with tar and that it's unridable. Well I didn't find
much tar, but I did find a gravel patch, 2 dear, and several birds that
were all attracted to my bike for some reason. The biggest thing
I found on this road was this monster KTM parked momentarily for a glamor
shot with my favorite road sign in the background :-)

Flush Flush Flush Away

Back to my cooling system....AGAIN....
Lets have a look at what is living, or
dying inside my cooling system shall we!
First the overflow or puke tank.

mmmm....a nice puke gritty yellow....yummmmy

Now lets look what's inside the radiator and motor.

hummm...a nice milky blue with...well i don't know what!

My cap looks trashed as you can see! Wonder what color
is eating it alive? Any guesses?


So here is what I did. Drained it HOT! Forced flushed with water!


Then filled with this flush stuff, topped with a new cap....
I need to get 3 hours of riding in then this will come out
and my hope is I will have cleaned it enough to last...well
a season!


My flushing technique in action!

Sun Set Edgewater

Beautiful end to the day!

Emerald Necklace

Little jaunt on Saturday afternoon. Lots of slow moving traffic
but we avoided most of them. The weather was beautiful, 70's,
and sunny! Took a few pics but not nearly enough. The Thai
food was excellent, the yellow curry was the favorite dish!
