wetness

Posted 01-14-2010 at 05:06 AM by beefsalad

I decided since it was supposed to be nice yesterday that I'd take the 9er to the team lead meeting (I had enough time after work to run home, suit up, and take the scoot.) I checked the weather before I left the office, 10% chance of rain all day. I was willing to risk getting a little wet. 2 minutes after I get back to the office, one of the engineers informs me that theres a line of storms at the edge of town. It rained until well after I got home. I also realized that it's time to recoat...

Finally got a little seat time in

Posted 12-21-2009 at 05:09 AM by beefsalad

I decided today that I'd finally ride all the way around loop 410 here in San Antonio. I've lived here for over 2 years, and have yet to hit the south side. I managed to make it a bit over half way before I started to get cold. I decided to change paths a bit and head up 281 so I could get home before it got too cold. 281 is a hell of a lot more fun than 410 is that is for sure. There's curves to the right instead of just to the left! I caught up to a 'Busa, which promptly blew my mirrors...

I suspect there's something about the position of the disc that covers the right side of the contols that's somehow getting in the way. I drilled the

Since the weather is changing, it's time to start doing some changes

Posted 11-17-2009 at 07:41 PM by beefsalad

It's been colder than I like to ride in the past couple of mornings, and by the time it warms up enough to ride, it'll be raining. So the bike is up on stands getting a little wrenching. I've got a few projects lined up, but can't decide where to start. The choices so far are 599 headlight, replacing the bars with non-bent ones, adding the dongle for the trickle charger, powder coating the triples (wasn't going to, but they are rusting so why the hell not?)

The only one of these...

testing the winter gear out

Posted 11-17-2009 at 04:46 AM by beefsalad

I came in with most of my layers on tonight, the commute wasn't too bad until Alinosa tried to race me in his F-150. Once we got on the 'home stretch' I hit the gas and damn near slid off the back of my seat. I blame the Tour Master pants and their slick butt. The only thing cold was my nose and eyes. I'll really get to test it on the ride home...theres already 14 degrees (Fahrenheit for you freaky foreigners) difference between then and now. Still an hour and a half until I leave, which could...
