So I’ve been commuting with the Ducati since I got it (~750 miles so far). One of the realities about commuting in early spring in seattle is, of course, the rain.
Does anyone know if there is anything special I need to do if I ride my bike in the rain a lot? Lube the chain [...]

Hint, the nipple-style grease fittings won’t really work well in this application. Technically they clear I guess (I’ve heard about them shearing off later, though) but you aren’t going to get a greasegun on them once it’s mounted. Instead, replace with the needle-style grease fittings; which I am going to have to order/find somewhere before [...]

Got the windshield folded down on the jeep, but I still need to fiddle the security bolts to get the roll cage bars down. And get a strap to keep it from flying back up.

Repaired the Raptor clutch today, and also realized one of my servos was bad now that I have a new battery pack. You should have heard the noise, like a tiny duckling dying in a fire. I’ll find out if I did the clutch right tomorrow when remove the form, they are a little fiddly.

This quickly proved a stupid (but spectacularly pretty) idea when I got up to Snoqualmie [...]

So what they don’t tell you about
motorcycles is all the great parking. Today the lot was full at work but there is designated motorcycle parking…
And I am sitting by the fire at the belleview collection after riding 3ft into the lot and parking.
Raining pretty heavily today but I don’t mind, it’s cool and relaxing on [...]

This morning’s adventure was a huge 8×4 piece of plywood falling out of the back of some guys pickup truck onto the road, right in front of me, as he was pulling away from a light on 140th.
The weather was gorgeous today, even if I was imagining that it was warmer than it seemed. I [...]

Although today was in the low 60s, sunny, and beautiful, there’s more snow coming this week. I might not be able to ride for a few days, so I tried to take advantage while I could. I live about 3 miles from the office and most logical alternate routes to stretch that a bit [...]
