Nice!

 

Look at the S model of the DRZ

 

Yeah, I've heard that. I read a whole article as to why, I just don't remember the reasoning. I believe it was the S model.

 

Sweet. It was a nice day for riding.

 

I'm sure everyone spent the weekend wondering what I've done and how my wheels came out. I got my truck back on Sat. morning All in all they screwed up once at Town Fair (wrecking the wheels) and then the place I took them to get painted screwed up also. The manager was a stand up guy and showed what they did without me having to inspect them and then bitch about it. A little dirt under the paint and one that they didn't prep well enough leaving indentations in the new paint.
Here's a pic of the wheels

 

Damn again. That sucks. You going to have the re-redone?

 

I was supposed to get them back on thursday, that's when I was shown the imperfections. Then they were supposed to be ready by Fri. but they ran out of paint and had to redo all of them to match perfect. I was promised them Saturday morning by 8. With all the luck I've been having it was no surprise when they weren't ready until 12. That was what time I had been planning on being in VT to work on trail rig. Got truck back and immediately hit the road. In the couple hours of daylight left Sat and most of the day Sunday I started the laundry list of items needed to be done to rig.
When I got there...

When I left...

And just a good pic...

 

Looks pretty sick Alex!

 

Thank you Chris! I'm glad I got to use the oven with no trouble haha. House empty for the weekend! Just gonna say I traded them light for light with a guy who is selling his truck and doesn't want his mods to go to waste

 

I work for Ford I'm familiar with it A LOT.

 

The closer to Borne the more the wind picked up. The powerlines had crushed blue stone so I got up around 75 dozens of time. Did a hill climb in some big gravel pit began with and Agrigate or something. Front came up I came off leg under a wide brand new knobby rear tire equals a MAJOR ouch.

 

The DRZ400 S and SM are great bike but no 6th gear which they need really bad. My 250 dual sport has a 6 speed and at 80 it's lugging along not revving out. How much is that DRZ you got me interested

 

Yet another good thing about home ownership..well at least in terms of parents, my wife would crucify me if I tried that.

 

Day 3 of the Chantix..so far so good on the side effects. Really hope it works this time..

 

I almost got castrated for doing the BFLM haha.

Can't wait for my own place

Good luck! I'm liking my Blu e-cigs

 

Does your insurance pay for it?
I have a bunch of those pills if you need them .

 

quitting smoking? My brother was 2 packs a day for 20 years...and the chantix was amazing..after 3 days on it he didn't even need/want to smoke anymore...

It did make him a little wiggy...and can mess with your sense of reality...but 3 years later and he never even thinks about smoking...big change for him....

 

were you in shorts? or did that rip through your ballistic nylon riding pants

 

Yes sir..thanks for the offer.

Starting 2013 here are the changes to smoking on my insurance:

$25 per 2 weeks extra per smoker on my plan (was $25 a month).

No copay for smoking cessation stuff (like the Chantix or Wellbutrin).

As of 1/1/12, no smoking on company property.

The good news is they will give me back the $25 per 2 weeks if I quit..that's almost $200 for me. That and I'm spending over $100 a week on the fkn things..

Been thinking about it a little anyways, but the cancer scare this year got me to really want to.
