anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

- Start date
The bigger motor destroyed my clutch hub, cracked it anyway and it was also popping out of 3rd gear at the track.
I discovered, a gear tooth, imprint on third gear, about the size of a starter motor tooth.
So this was the maiden voyage after getting a spare tranny undercut at Pearson.
Then I installed new shift forks, rods and valves guide seals, while figuring out why the input shaft was shorter and which bearings to use.
It shifted well and ran great, but I need another starter clutch housing, as one of the pins shot out. Also have to helicoil a few bolt holes.

Sounds like ya spent a good part of the summer in the garage Carter.
Nothing like a Fire Breathing Beast to wake ya up!
Head over to Earl's for a ride out East into The Prairies for a change.
But trying to get outa the city is nuts, traffic everywhere,,..
I want out, the wife doesn't,,..
We give up trying to take the smaller roads, jamed, and some ain't there anymore (closed).
So we head out on the TransCalamity Hwy east.
Just us, and the cows.
Earl brings out his SPOT transmitter, sends our currnet GPS location up to a Satellite.
Then down and sends an email to recipiants "We're Here and Fine!" (Naa-naa)
http://www.findmespot.com/mylocation/?id=EJgeS/50.83225N/113.41708W
Then back on the road southbound.
Dang, looks like traffic up ahead, we'll be on it quick.
Now West and no one around, Ok, I can lead,,..
Time to blow some soot outa'da Pipes!
My Lead doesn't last long,,.. not much can outrun a ZX 14,,..
My top speed was XXXkph (in keeping with current govment "morals" the actual number has been redacted to protect the guilty)
The mountains get bigger fast, and these corners show up quick.
We do some smaller quieter roads, that have hazards,,..
That was a good "short" ride.
Will be at the main HWY soon, better get home before rush hour traffic gets stupid.
We need a plan. Maybe skiing Fernie this year instead of Kimberley might be a start.:-k

Commune Support
The Plan, would be to ski Fernie AND Kimberley.
I think we are planning the Invasion for the end of January.
Actual Dates are still in Deep Negotiations.
This winter we'll be coming with the new (used) Ford E350 6-liter turdbo;
Can support the whole Commune with that thing.
I'm figuring to show up with The Rig for Sandy's East Kootenay World Headquarters Rally (Commemorative Collectors Sporks available on request, pickup only)
I measured,,. the VF1000 will fit inside!
Reminds me, to swap over to the Snow Tires and Change the Oil (12 Liters!), and Air Compress out the Trailer Water Lines,,..
Nothing like a Fire Breathing Beast to wake ya up!
Wizard, nah, the bigger motor spent most of the summer in the garage, cases open, covered in Saran wrap. I didn't, well maybe a little more than usual. I stole my wife's engine out her bike back in June, as she doesn't ride much any more, but of course suggested one when her bike had no motor.

I got a Loud Ticking coming outa my Front Cylinders after yesterdays Sprint.
Hopefully just Valve Adjust.
Its a a Pain, cause I gotta drain Rad Fluid (from 5 places) and remove Lower Radiator.
As you can see from the Cam Pitting, it might be time for a Heart Transplant anyway.
Got motors layin around, in various conditions (complete and in pieces).
Just don't got time.
Hey, your photo shows your Back Tire with Clean Rubber ALL the Way Over!,,.. At'a'Boy!

Thanks Ohio.
Beautiful pictures Trevor. I'm going to have to get out there to ride with you guys. I talked with Glen about riding out next summer. I think it would be awesome.
Thanks strom, if you are going to come out, keep an eye out for next years pnw rally to be held in Sandy's neighbor hood. (Cranbrook BC) I think some of the guys are talking about starting out in Victoria with us.

I went out Saturday with one of the Kat guys and a mate from work... three of us together means we're an "association" according to our new anit-bikie laws but no interrogations by the powers that be.
Nice little run up to Mt Mee, but I had one of those days on Campbells Pocket Rd where I just couldn't get into a nice rhythm and stuffed a few too many corners up... still fun all the same!
It was a bit smoky up the top due to some back burning:
Matt with his GSXR 750, my wee beastie, and Derek's beasty Kat:
Really great on-the-road shots. Thanks for posting.
I see that you don't seem to have the affliction of most other southern CA guys, and are not using 3 letter abbreviation for each road.

Hopefully you don't do this very often, it's the worst thing you can do to a bike. :-k
Don't start it unless you are going to go for a ride (or perform maintenance).
Unless you go for a ride, it will not get up to full temperature to "burn off" all the condensation in the crankcase and mufflers.
Condensation in the oil will drip down into the oil, mix with the pollutants there and create acids, which don't help anything.
Condensation in the mufflers will mix with the fumes there, settle down to the lowest level and rust out your pipes from the inside.
