nklr but funny

[ron criswell]

Sent from my iPad I went riding in the Black Hills last weekend with Jud, the Rev and a few others. Jud got to find out what happens when you don't adjust your doohickey. I got to find out how inept I am at fixing a flat at the side of the road. Those things bounce around quite a bit when you ride about five miles when the tire is flat (on one side-heh). It convinced me I need to mount my own tires for practice and make sure I have the right tools for the roadside repair. An Allen socket would be better to take the brake caliper off. Fred, I need a new heavy duty rear tube. The Black Hills are a great place to dual sport. There are a lot of corn fields in Nebraska. A lot of Harley's in Sturgis. Criswell

Funny.. Had that happen to us kind of... cept mice were storing acorns in the exhaust of our old old tractor stored in a barn... Fire up the ole girl idling away can hear this rumble... figured it was something loose, notch the throttle up a few clicks to drive it out and all of a sudden its like a Roman candle got lit... Acorns were red hot by then and popping out the exhaust... Lots of running soon happened in the 100+ year old barn to put out the hot spots. Dooden CBR125 ? Heard about a CBR250

you forgot one other 'lesson-learned' LEO's have a [significantly] different opinion than KLR riders on what is considered a safe crossing distance at the RR crossing of a [slow] oncoming train. revmaaatin. note to self: don't cross the tracks in plain view of LEO.
