What Did Your Evil Twin Do Today?!?

So what did I do... I tightend the chain, cleaned it and lubed it. After my 600km ride yesterday I saw that my bar risers weren't straight so I solved that problem too. Oh and I mounted that TT guard for the break flued.

Today, I ordered a couple more yards of CF, finished the vacuum chamber, finished setting up my wheel balancer/truing stand (garage gansta style), cut out some CF pieces for the mudguard I will make tomorrow night, sanded down my first mudguard, caught a mouse in a bottle, then let him go, wrapped some presents, and now I am back outside to make a home made spoke wrench.

Waitaminute...... I thought you were gonna ease up on the CF stuff, and learn some med. stuff.....

Done with medicine till January!

Just started two challenges: a new adventure ride from northeast Brasil all the way to Atacama Desert and back; AND a live ride report (http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?p=20264892#post20264892)

lost the most random thing!!

Fitting for your "Anything's Possible" decal.

Today i finished the instal on my TT Tank fuel pump and fuel lines. I also prepped the tank for primer (will do this in an hour).

yup

still have no idea how I lost the damn thing... probably due to some of this...

You are my hero mate

Last week, fed up of my car's poor carrying capacity and cleaning pine needles/sap off the upholstery, I decided to carry my Christmas tree on the back of my GS. Lashing it down across the top of my vario panniers in the expanded position, using a pair of rocks straps, it was fine. I have video.

I painted my new to me TT Tank.

Installed and Akropovic Muffler and Xchallenge cartridges with Ohlins 55g springs and 7.5 weight oil at the Ohlins recommended 60mm air gap, crazy windy today (30-40mph gusts) so no chance I'm riding it but the initial around the block a few times ride looks promising, much less dive then the Hyperpro springs it was replacing. can't wait until Monday to hit my usual trails to see how it handles

Got my new custom bar risers finished to go with my new steering damper.

Installed my TT front brake protection thingy, changed my tires for TR91 and changed my front brake pads. Then took it to a 1300kms ride to surprise my mother for Xmas. I love that bike

Installed my Xmas gift. Pivot Pegz MKIII. Now I think a longer shifter is in order.

Can I get feedback on those pegs? I am highly considering them...

Since we got 7 inches of snow (and salt) right after I put them on, I haven't ridden with them yet. But they're already a huge improvement just sitting on the bike. The rear brake pedal was way too low, but now it's perfect.

However, I made the comment about getting a longer shifter because it's now a bit harder to get my foot under the shifter because they're so wide. The fact that they pivot is a huge help, but I still think a longer shifter is in my future.

Near Winchester, VA and Berkeley Springs WV.

Temperatures were between 42 to 32f, and I'm glad I had my heated gear with me. The roads were fine - I had to take it slow on the secondary roads and the gravel where it was partially covered with ice. It did get dicey in a few spots, but to my surprise I never went down - something I manage to do at least once or twice when I go off road...

very cool! jealous but in a good way!
