Sucks is right.  I have a feeling that when I get to Deal's Gap, I'll still have Stabil in the tank.

I'm itching to get out there myself, but the weather really hasn't been cooperating. I missed the few really nice days at the beginning of the month since my battery needed to be replaced (I accidentally cooked my old one last summer). I installed a new battery and some new front brake pads on my bike last weekend, as well as buying a new lid. I only took it around the block for a quick test drive to make sure all was in order and it felt great.

Also ordered new fork springs so I can stiffen up the front end - the only real 'problem' with my bike. Can't wait for these to get here. Was looking at a step-by-step photo guide online on how to change them and according to the site, it's a 20 minute job. Sure beats the 1.5 to 2 hours M+ told me they'd charge me for the installation. Also the fact Junior quoted me $150 for the springs plus the installation, and I ordered the same brand and model of springs from another shop in Windsor for $75...

Getting excited and can't wait to get out.
