Good start Jared. I hope you get good news from your friend.. fingers crossed for you.

If the engine is a no go, but you want to keep the frame then I recommend going ahead and replacing anything rubber.

Maybe a tiny patch of ice was on the road?

I came back one night to my joint and took the corner nice & easy. Suddenly the bike slipped out under me. Luckily I gunned the throttle a but and bounced my left leg on the ground (not a good thing to do with a near 600-lbs bike) and kept it up. I stopped, traced back and found just a cunt's hair worth of fucking ice right where I hit it.

Well guys.... I haven't really kept anyone up to date on exactly what I've been up to lately. I don't want to spill the beans just yet (that'll be posted later), but lets just say I've just completed some MAJOR surgery on my bike. It won't be long now, she should be back on the road in the next couple of days!

As for me.... I'm quite possibly the happiest guy alive after what you see in this video. I know it doesn't seem like much, but after I post up my massive rebuild thread with pictures, it'll all make perfect sense
