I replaced the stock shock with a ZX10 shock on the SV. Tonight is the spring swap in the front and then we test.  |

Rode it to work. Rode home in 37° rain. Decided that it's time to buy a one piece suit for commuting.

Road the Adventure to work, and scrubbed the FJR clean when I got home. I even pulled the windshield off of the FJR and buffed & waxed it, looks might purity now Been planning on selling off the FJR, 7 bikes are to much for my garage. The wife came down to the garage and remarked on how clean the FJR looked and how she "would understand if I wanted to keep it" I would like to keep it but the truth is that I just don't ride it anymore, getting to like the GSs more every ride  |

I stopped by the storage hut and uncovered the bird and the kid's 600rr long enough to take some measurements in support of trailer ideas and luggage acquisitions. Then I sighed and covered them back up.  It's going to be a while yet here before we ride. |

I rode it! It was about 45F today so I put about 45 miles on the ktm today. Only a little commuting, but I was happy to ride at all.

Sunday I pulled the plugs covering the idle jet screws on the Magna. I backed the screws an extra 1.5 turns. Then I synced the carbs. What a PITA on a V-4. I needed all kinds of light just to see the little adjustment screws, never mind get a wrench on them. It was the first time I did anything except fluids and plugs to that old beater in twenty years. Starts and runs much better now!  BTW, I put aluminum window screening over the air intakes of my vehicles to keep mice from building their nests in my air cleaners. |

Found a (leaky) tire plug in the new bike... replaced it. Ordered a new tire. Old one tons of tread... but I guess I gotta bit the bullet. Tried to chase down some rattling noise... found a massively embarrassing tool (oil filter wrench) between the engine and skidplate! I'm a moron... I don't know if that fixed the problem or not... the muffler seems like a loose fit onto the pipe, so we'll see. Had to zip tie the muffler to the luggage bracket to keep it from rattling as it rests on there, but is a bit loose. Up next today is a dive into the garage to see if I can make a baffle for the muffler. The Two Bro's muffler is way too loud and has no back pressure. Maybe I can make a bracket for the muffler so I can remove the zip tie.  Always somethin, huh? |
