Fix't! 'cept for the fork seal part... that should take an xtra hour or so

Well, if'n you're feeling frisky, bring it and we'll wrench on it after the day's ride is over.

I'm sure we'll get it right after a few beers.

We fixed Kelly's bike right up at Tuna's after lots of beers... The more wobbly we got, the less his front end was

Negative. Plenty of good parts for cheap to be had.

I thought KLRs were allergic to knobbys?

On the good side, that cold front that whipped through brought very little rain. Got really bad in Tallahassee for an hour, then just windy after that. So, probably no more than a tenth of an inch of rain, at most. Down side is likely some trees fell over in the area (but, now easy fire wood), which may impede some of the trails. Regardless, riding conditions should be spot on perfect (especially for folks like me with them air cooled motors).
