      A 55 mile commute in this morning counts as a ride.....the K100 does the job well in both stop and go traffic and on the back roads detours. The highway off/on cloverleaf ramps let me work down the chicken strip. Oh, well as long as you time the commute to avoid the worst traffic and sidestep the inevitable attempts by cars and trucks doing you in, it was still a nice day for a ride. Not as much fun as the 300 weekend miles on the vStrom though.

        Went up to Lake Cowichan to Gordon Bay Provincial campground. My wife and son drove up Sunday morning and I took the long way up via Port Renfrew on the beemer, had to break in the new shoes I put on it Saturday.

        Boy way it smokey up there. Forest fire near Port Alberni is making the sky look like the end of the world is coming. Good the CBXChris doesn't live hear. Lol..





        There is a province wide campfire ban on so the the campground was renting out these little propane fire pits. Not as good as a real fire pit but a very nice compromise just the same.





        Ash the next morning on my bike from the forest fire in Port Alberni

            such maddening beasts these bikes are on occasion. ..

            Ive been especially enjoying my bike this year. Recent work has it running better then it ever has in my 15 years of ownership. Then among all the bliss I find this.
            Truth be told, I knew this job was coming, but was hoping that it wasn't to be so soon.

                Yeah, can't really tell from the picture either. Fork seal? Brake line?

                  Sorry for the crappy pic. Fork oil that leaked down the fork. The dark and shiny area on the back side of the fork and onto the caliper mounting lugs. Luckily it didnt make it to the brake pads / rotor.

                      To catch the fork oil?

                      Heck, if you're going to jury rig something, do it right - a black rag!

                          Around here, you could just walk into any bodega and ask for a "do-rag".

                              Glen... HAHA I see the smiley face on the ignition cover!!!

                              I went on a class 4/dirt road ride today. Fun times. Exploring Salisbury and whiting areas. Finding new routes and roads I didn't know existed. Having some summer fun!
