I'm off to Las Vegas for the SEMA show, leaving on a 4 o'clock Midwest Express flight. Will be there until late late Friday night arriving home at about 1 or 2 AM depending on everything. Should be a good show...lots of cars...different Hotel...change of scenery.
LBS fixed my bb on my mtb and trued up the rear wheel of my roadie. Rode the mtb w/ the group on Saturday morning...I do not have a computer on my mtb so I'm not sure how many miles, doesn't really matter but it's cool to keep track of. Will have to buy and install one later. Kinda depressing as I was just starting to find my place/pace and keeping up for the majority of the ride on the Saturday morning Road Rides but now that we've switched to MTB 's and Trail riding, which I have never really done in this group high speed all out type of manner, I am once again getting smoked hard. Yesterday I thought my chest was going to explode again. Was not impressed w/ myself for that but was impressed that I did the second long lap in the woods even thought I was the last guy, but about a third of the group didn't do it at all, so that was cool. But doing that I burned out super quick once we got back to the road ride. It was getting really windy and I had to help out Larry w/ some TV/Furniture moving so I broke off the pack once they started heading south and I rode home north than west than north again against some really strong winds. It took forever just to go about 5 miles.
Once I got home and showered up I noticed that I missed a call from the motorcycle guy. I called him up and once again the amount that he's gonna charge me has gone up. I told him that was it and to stop right where he is. Plus he wanted to add a battery, battery box, more wiring and so on for more money. I said that I have gone way over what I wanted to and he understood. He fired it up and had it running. So now I'll be able to jump back into it and finish it up. I'll have to do the battery thing myself, but that's ok since the heart of the cycle is done, rebuilt and will make it all better in the long run. So I'm kinda pumped. I'll pick it up Monday of next week when I get back. It needs a couple of things but is for the most part done. Can not wait to get that project behind me! And ride it! Maybe even save some money on gas next spring and if I don't love it or really need the cash for the Stang's paint, then I'll let 'er go, but I see the light at the end of the tunnel for the Triumph.
Pictures of really cool cars, cycles, chicks, famous people (hopefully, last year the big one's were Carol Shelby, Chip Foose and Boyd C.) next weekend when I get back. I wonder if I'll have enough sleep or energy to do the Saturday morn bfast ride next week Saturday. We'll have to see but I doubt it.
Don't forget to vote on the paint color poll (b re-vote cause I added a color) just click here.
Thanks in advance for your help.
