Steve (BigOhio) has graciously offered me the use of his KLR650 so I expect to be there. If we can get his big bike back together tonight, its possible he'll be along as well.

Even if the shocks go on ok, I can almost guarantee the big bike won't be back on the road until well into the day on Saturday. Wayyyy too many panels, crash bars and covers, etc. to reattach.

Based upon what he said I plan to take along Gonzo_Matt.

Same reason I always ride with Alan.....I figure he has the same bike so he obviously has what's needed to fix mine.

Believe it or not, all that stuff packs pretty small. The compressor is small, the tools are in a roll and my tailbag really isn't that large.

Sounds awesome, I'm glad to know you have that stuff.

He's a handy sumbitch.

The only implements I carry on rides anymore are a Leatherman and a cel phone with *ALN pre-programmed as my only contact.

Only reason to wear a helmet, as far as I'm concerned.

Seems like you could prop it on one of the downed logs pretty easily. Mesquite thorn trouble? The state tree of hell.

Hell, mine lays on its side enough when I am out riding that if I ever get a flat I just plan on laying it over.

So every time I come to the State House there is a BMW F800 parked in this little alley, Pearl St., just a block north of the capitol by El Arepaizo restaurant. Aluminum panniers, and an ADV sticker. Anyone know who it is? Oh, today it had Hippo Hands on the bars.

plenty of sticks around, no need to lift onto a log. plus you can't tell by the photo, but the road is going uphill and the bike wouldn't be stable.

Not sure what caused the flat, it was low earlier and I added air to it, then accelerating up that hill tore the valve stem.
