Just got back from surfing @ the groins listed here. I rented a suit and 8’7 long board there for about 32 bucks.  The wetsuit is an excel and is excellent.  I used my 2xu tri suit yesterday and got about 5oo yards in of ocean bay swimming across half moon bay.

I have my own booties. I was going to use my tri suit but decided not to to protect the seams.  I need to talk to an avid triathloner to see if my suit fits.  If it does not, I may have to get a new one, lose some cash and get an  XL.  After lunch and a nap, gonna surf the Jetty in an hr and fly our new kite. It is still raining. 8(. pix soon..

Went on a great offroad ride with my friend Brian today. Was able to build my confidence up with the KLR, it is a little heavy off road and cannot do any backflips off sand dunes, but it handled alright. My bud Brian was able to test out the nerf bars when he dumped it.

Great view atop the Wenatchee Mountains. RIGHT in the BACKYARD!@

WEll Hell.

2 days ago, was coming down a hill and the KLR quit on me.. Glided to the side. Would not start. Had to walk it home, started to take it apart. The whole engine was flooded. I bled out the carburetor, and took out the gas soaked air filter. Some friends over at klrworld told me that the “float might be stuck” and some rl friends told me that I “fowled your spark plug”.

Here is after I loosened the shrouds and before lifting the tank.

Found some metal gunk and a pebble. And sure enough. Sparkplug Black as heck.

Will update soon, I hope I can put the thing back together!

*As of today, the bike has been fixed.  I put a new sparkplug in and WOOOOM. Starts.  I also changed the oil and stock filter. I am using Rotella 15-30.

Just got two Scorpion EX400 Warhawk Helms for me and my lover. 99 bux on sale. Too big though! RMAing and getting an XL and Medium. Won’t be able to ride for a week or two.

Also, Bike went dead for some reason…left the gas switch off while riding! NOOB!@ flooded engine?

Had to walk it home a mile!
