Fellas

 

Beautiful

 

Thanks

 

How ya living b

 

I am so excited about this bike. I wanna ride

 

Why u sad bro

 

Boat got you tied down?

 

I am fucked up

 

There’s a pouring leak through the transom on the outdrive plate and I think I have to take the whole freakin outdrive off to fix it. I think it’s the u-joint bellows or something to do with the gimbal bearing.

I almost sunk at the boat ramp because the fuse box feed came loose and it took me 15 minutes to find it. No bilge pump power obv. I started bailing out the bilge with a soda cup haha

 

Oh man. That sounds like stressful end to a trip.

Doesn't sound like a very fun project to fix either

 

Man a ride sounds good right now. This weather is perfect for it.

 

You got a bike?

 

technically yes, a KLR. Its a basket-case right now - engine is on my workbench, rest of it is in iowa. It started making noises on my last trip far from home, haven't gotten around to opening it up yet for reasons.

That vulcan ought ought to be fun, never ridden one. 800 seems like a decent size for a small bike.

 

I knew what I got into buying that thing haha

Well I’ve got all winter to fix it. Needed to replace those bellows anyway.

 

Sounds like an adventure. I wonder if you could pinpoint the leak with a hose.

 

Heard a good way to do it is fill the bilge with water while on land and seeing where water comes out on the exterior of the transom.

I’ll worry about it later. It honestly isn’t such a huge issue unless you’re just sitting still, but I do want to fix it. Bilge pump takes care of it but I obviously don’t want the chance of sinking.
