P.S. "Tumble Bro" There's some boring viddys in there as most of them are unedited or camera time of not much. But there's a few gems in the rough.

Robert, I saw your reply to a vid for Larry's drop off. I've never taken it, but ponder it every time I go by it. Seems like a rough landing.

I didn't even catch what you were referring to, until I reread my post. To my defense, and there was more than one typo, I was tired and bonked my head yesterday. At yeast, rats me rory and eyes stickang two et.

edited and added a few more pics to the rock climb post I SEE YOU CALI, OR IS THAT, I SEE ME? OR IS IT I SEE ME, SEEING ME, SEEING CALI. NAH, I SEE A STORM TROOPER.

I was wondering where you've been. I thought you had lady infatuation, but what about your human girlfriend. Heeeeeeeeeeeehaw. It too took me a long time to get my bike back up. Had her teared down for 2 months. Suspension was out at least a month and then finding time to clean and put her back in to one piece was a challenge. Still need to replace the sprockets, chain, chain rear roller, brake fluid, lube cables, replace all fuel lines, replace manifold, replace front wheel bearings, play with rear brake pedal position, get some new shrouds, and I'm sure more. But yeah, at least she's currently rideable. But after yesterday's down, I need to do a one over. No ride next week, house showing the rental property. Maybe in two weeks, pending temps. Good to read word from you Chad.

No and yes. I'll look at it again, but not much to see. I turned the camera off literally a second or two before your rock climb and it didn't turn back on it time. I do have you climbing the rock/sand hill. Nothing entertaining, but I'll send it to you. Pm me your info.

Well, it's a rare moment that I'll get out here before those people who live a stone's throw away, but even more rare that I get there before the rise of the morning spark.

that's about all, I'm not fishing through the rest of the vid material.

Creatures seen by my eyes: Owl Couple of other semi-large bird of prey Coyote Dozen rabbit Black widow Some 2 to 3 times larger than a black widow spider that was white and brown striped Dudes in underwear Herd of huskies (5) Sasquatch

Bruised muscle inner lf knee (how could I forget my braces-doh), hopefully just a bruised shoulder at end of rt clavicle. A little stiff in the neck, I'll live. For some reason when I roll out at 4am (lack of sleep) something always plays out wrong on the ride. Usually that means having a hard time keeping things upright. This time is was a little worse than that. I guess early roll time, being out of the game for 2months and a stiffer suspension setup was the trifecta to my crashecta.

I believe the key thing to take from this is, always keep your feet moving. No matter what you ride (bike or terrain) or at what pace, keeping a foot (or two) from being stagnate is key to keeping yourself upright (opposite of crashing), efficient (energy use), and reduces injury (proper joint use = good mobility).

I figured as much, but finding that title would have been like finding a rebar spike in the high woods. Thus I posted it with a slightly more direct title to the location.

Damn, someone put some effort in to those bad boys. http://www.kpho.com/story/26034212/sharpened-rebar-found-hidden-on-az-forest-roads

Really sux being so limited, size-wise. As the ol' saying goes, it's not the size that matters, but how you use it. This coming from someone who is 6'2". There are adherent disadvantages for all sizes (people and machine). Tuning a bike to our size is important for making life easier or more suitable to our needs. But in the end, building skills (practice) is the monumental key in advancing.....on any metal steed. Once you can develop a core set of skills backed up with confidence, climbing on motos that aren't quite setup for you won't seem so daunting. But yes, having the right tools (or right setup) to assist you (not fight you with every move) in building that core/confidence is a true helper to progression. Kudos to your commitment for progression.

Some science-ish stuff for ya, but Robert basically typed it. Not sure if this stuff answers any questions, but good info none-the-less for people to understand tire (size) basics. http://www.motorcycle.com/rider-safety/motorcycle-tires-101-91339.html https://www.denniskirk.com/help_center/tire-sizes.jsp http://www.motosport.com/blog/dirt-bike-tires-wheels-explained-sizes-pressure-treads-tools The Thumper site is down right now, but maybe this stuff answers questions as well. Wide vs. slim tires. http://www.thumpertalk.com/topic/859515-skinny-or-fat-front-tire/ http://www.thumpertalk.com/topic/1025638-wide-rear-tire-vs-slim/

One of these days I'll get my bike back together.

This is some bling peg action here and while I don't 2.5 big bills to put down on foot pegs, they get a good review. http://www.thumpertalk.com/reviews/product/43177-fastway-adventure-foot-pegs/

Not the most current (2011), but a lot of peg reviews here: http://www.dirtrider.com/features/141_1110_footpeg_buyers_guide/ Need to know peg info, or so they say: http://www.dirtrider.com/features/141_1110_footpeg_buyers_guide/

Bob put whatever you like on your bike or leave it alone, but if you did this to your wheels, I would say you have a badass bike.

Tru dat, my Husky equipment suits me fine. I'm not saying there isn't something better, but yeah some other bike brand parts are well, no good. On that note, it might seem odd to put on $250 pegs on a budget bike, right? It's like the guy with the cell phone that's more expensive than his car.

Just stop wearing high heels on your motorcycle, problem fixed and money saved.

P.s., I have no complaints about my stock pegs. I guess if I were racing and had sponsors I would bling out my bike pegs and get boot replacements for free. But that ain't my story.
