    Can you do the UTBDR in May? I went to Moab the last week in May and everything above 9000' was snowed in in the Manti LaSalle mtns. I don't know what kind of winter they had. You mite want to talk to some locals.

    I think my bike may have caught some bad ktm juju lol

    One of the ktms from last weekend started loosing oil do to a stripped engine case hole. We swapped out and engine bilt with mine that was longer and able to grab some good theads and stop the leak.. With in 6 hours of riding with the ktm bolt i had the rear wheel bearings go bad, blew a fork seal completely out and had the wires to my heated vest short out and melt

    But atleast it still got me home ! Lol

    NICE. That was fast.

    I'll be out tonight. I know around 6 is too early (durn kids), but the tobacky express is headed to WV after I finish my final. I can stop by on the way back if you want.

    Yeah, I was surprised. The place is over near Akron, they must have them sitting around in stock. Looks like they have a lot of stuff for the WR.

    I'll talk to the Mrs. and see what I have going on tonight. But that sounds awesome. Good luck with the final!

    Also unrelated to motorcycling, but since I was browsing my pictures, here's a before and after shot of my cocker spaniel after giving him a shave. He's an asshole, but he's cute.

    didn't know anything about it, but might be worth checking out being that close.

    edit, just figured out I'm going to go listen to Willie Nelson and Old Crow Medicine show that Friday, bummer.
