Spodefest is nearing
in [ATVs]
|
From: Mike Baxter on 14 Jul 2010 10:38 Spodefest is fast approaching and I just started locating my camping gear. It has not been used in a few years now. :-( I started the Pampera and forgot just how much compression that thing has. I have the scraped ankle and bruised calf to prove it. I repaired the endcap on my '05's spark arrestor, but it may not hold. Worst it will do is rattle. If so, I'll swap it with the one on the old bike. I need to swap the steering damper towers in order to put the better one on the newer bike, but I'm either too busy or too lazy to do it. My plan was to ride several weekends before the 'fest, but it's not working out that well. I guess I'll be riding slow this year. MIke Baxter

There's a big Mustang show up in WA this weekend, and I've been detailing the car. After that, I've got a lot of bike work and trailer work to do for the Spodefest. Dennis Kennedy

It has not been used in a few years now. :-( But we just used it last spring at Stonyford. Some of it, anyway. Your tent needs additional soundproofing, as I recall. > I started the Pampera and forgot just how much compression > that thing has. I have the scraped ankle and bruised calf to prove it. At least you didn't break the frame. > I repaired the endcap > on my '05's spark arrestor, but it may not hold. Worst it will do is > rattle. If so, I'll swap it with the one on the old bike.

So, when you're not too lazy, you're too busy, and when you're not too busy, then you're too lazy? I can relate. > My plan was to ride several weekends before the 'fest, but it's not > working out that well. I guess I'll be riding slow this year. That's cool Mike. We'll ride along behind Scott (WAY behind Scott, probably) and periodically bemoan the ravages of time together. It'll be fun. I've been practicing for the past year or two. Tim H |
