    Season Opener 2013

    Bran and I FINALLY got out for a BC ride yesterday. I did ride on Jan 12 with Greg which is the first time I recall being able to ride in Jan but nothing since then. I did assist Brian installing a 685 piston kit and new valve seats on Turd II about a month ago and I added a SS rear line. drill though subframe mod and valve check on my KLR for the winter "farkling" process to be ready for the season. Needless to say we were both chomping at the bit to get out. Here are a few photos of our outing..............

    Friday night loaded up and ready to roll



    We stopped for breakfast in Brooklyn IN, mmmmmmmmmm biscuits and gravy. The use all local ingredients and one of the best B & G I have ever had possibly better than the Story Inn IMHO.



    Brian "in action"



    Turd II (Turd View )



    Brian offered my a "shiny new dime" to attempt this crossing. I am not sure if it got to 50 yesterday but I decided to pass. Might have been a touch cold.......



    Closer view, still not so much. It is on the list to try it when the water is down and temps up. Salt Creek road going towards Gatesville is on the other side.



    We both got gauntlets oner the winter and they made a huge difference, I even turned off the heated grips for about an hour yesterday midday. Mine are from Powermadd (less logo)

      How's the 685? Why the 685 & not the 688? Did Brian give comment either way?
