So..... the General and I are chatting last week and the conversation does a one-eighty. Still not sure how the Easter dinner menu details suddenly mutated into a comment about old Fite's waist size. Bottom line.... the lady with whom I share a house thinks that maybe I need to start paying a bit more attention to what I eat. Maybe start an exercise regiment, take better care of myself, bla bla bla, shed a few pounds. :huh:huh:huh So I bought myself an exercise bike!
2012 XR650L 1800 miles Acerbis 5.8 tank Rear rack plus sub-frame support Bark Busters Bash plate Headlight protection Windshield (may not stay mounted) I'm pretty stoked! Have been looking for something that can get me in a little deeper woods-wise than BiggerBird and not bust the bank. Farkles will include: milk crate hip boots shovel 4H stickie Can't wait for the snow to go away so I can start exercising! Fite
I'm hoping so. Should be able to get up that last quarter mile shale slag section at the end of Palmer Creek. You know... where you and Jermo landed after ya went by me and BB!
Send that engine off to the Wizard this winter, The Cycle Wizard. If your oil temps get high, I used a GSMark oil cooler. That is his screen name on here.
'bout time . ya ain't a feared of ridin long side a KLRs are ya? I mean... not like stuff is fallin' off our bikes or anything
LET'S SEE NOW...WE HAD "BIG BIRD"...THEN WE HAD "BIGGER BIRD"...NOW WE HAVE WHAT?!..."RED BIRD"?:eek1
"LittleBird" DOOOOOOOH! We do have a theme going here. OBTW K-bike paint sample part mailed yesterday. Should arrive at headquarters on Wednesday. Fite
Today we start the NAME THE NEW BIKE contest. Red Bird----weak I suggest Baby Bird. Let the fun begin.
I'm looking forward to the pic of Fite sitting on "Baby Bird".....talk about a monkey humping a football!
You'll love the ol' girl (2012 may be new but the design is circa 1993!). Farkling recommendation: 1. Upgrade fork springs and rear coil. You won't regret it! Precision Concepts in SoCal or order your own. 2. Wider pegs 3. Dave's Mods to the carb (EASY!) 4. SAVE the spark plug tool! You'll need it if you ever swamp the engine. 5. Headlight cutoff switch (See #4) 6. XRR front fender 7. Re-route vent lines for carb (Ask AKMud) Now get that Piggy on the road and come ride with Mud and I J
Bird of Paradise. Watch this and you see the similarities between Fite and a Bird of Paradise that makes the name appropriate: http://youtu.be/REP4S0uqEOc
Kevin...... can't begin to tell you how happy I am to see you back on your game. WTF were you looking for when you stumbled on to that little gem??? Welcome back asshat! Fite
