THANK YOU for letting me steal your wheel. I took care of it. and to be honest, I only went about 9 miles with it....

the bike is still in the dammed truck. im going to take the truck and the bike to be washed tomorrow.

next week ill do all the maintenance and try to get it ready for the GP

They say they are running the same basic course as last year. That means lots and lots of turns.

I am looking like I am going to miss the GP. I'm tired and out of money, and it won't do anything to improve my standing in points. Besides, the Coyote Dual Sport is a couple weeks after that and I need to get the 525 going again.

i'll be at your Dash to the Memorial ride.EDIT: i will be in Death Valley that weekend. oops

if i don't have any surgery, i will be racing next year.

too much shit on my plate right now besides that i'm kinda broke. (just rebuilt my tranny on the 525).

having you out for the races next year would be awesome. I know that after a few races once you get the hang of it you will be really fast.

I think im done for this season..... the wife pointed out that we havent had any chill weekends to ourselves in a VERY long time so we are going to take the weekend off.

plus the fact the dammed KTM is STILL in the truck..... I desperately need to wash it, change the oil, screens, filters, etc etc and fit new tubes and tires.
