Updates: parts, podcasts and preposterous ponderings
Thought I'd take a minute to give some updates. In no particular order of importance...
I'm working on a whole-bike lookin' over for a friend's GL1500. Among the maintenance work it needs is new wheel bearings. The OEM bearing prices are completely nuts. I found suitable replacements at http://VXB.com and http://goallballs.com. Much better pricing. It also needs tires - at least the rear - so I get to give my tire machine a serious work out. I'm all about "work smart, not hard" so I'll get to tweak my technique accordingly, I'm sure.
My garage has been gutted, cleaned, organized and properly setup *almost* perfectly the way I want it. I don't know that I'm tickled with the location of my tire machine, and I'd like to have a little more cabinet/shelf space, but all in all, I can get the bikes in it, be working on one and still have room for a car (once the last of the big-box junk is gone). So... *thumbs up*
The Sportster needs rear shocks. When I bought the bike, modification #1 was updates to the suspension, including ditching the horrid stock suspenders out back. Well, in a cost-saving move and to test out some options, I bought some used shocks off eBay that have worked out mostly ok. Now, 2 years later, they're blown (well, one is). Couldn't come at a worse time... $ is tight right now. So... the bike is still rideable but with a leaky shock. Oh well. Plus... I've got the Burgman to scoot around on and if I really need a "real" bike fix (hah!), I've still got the 'Glide. Its sale has been put on hold until next Spring.
I've mentioned in the past the possibility of doing a podcast because most of them just aren't my thing... well, my friend James emailed me recently asking how serious I was about it. We got to talking... got to thinking and scheming... and decided now's the time. So... I present to you, http://thepacepodcast.com/. We have no shows available for download yet, so we're not going gangbusters on the promotion yet, but I do have buy-in from several of the podcasters I listen to for cross-promotion. Awesome! This is a little scary... you know how some people have a "face for radio"? I've always felt like I've got a voice for mime... so I'm sure editing and proofing won't be awkward at all! :)
That's about it for now... been concentrating on life and work lately, nothing much new to report on the bike side of things.
Winter's coming... ice, frost bite, and all the good and fun things. Be safe, folks!

Highlights:
Clay pays a visit to Impeccable Smokes, the new smoke shop in Charming owned by Ethan Zobel (played by Adam Arkin). Clay say's he is there to give him a proper welcome. He informs Zobel that he is going to need some protection. Zobel says, "That seems awfully nefarious for mechanics and Harley enthusiasts". Clay says, "Well, you pay, or you go away. Your choice Adolf. Welcome to Charming." Clay exits the store but not without taking a few boxes of cigars to pass around to the club.
Just after that, A.J. Weston the skinhead played by Henry Rollins walks in. Zobel says to him that Mr. Morrow needs to be humbled. They put a hit for a beating on Otto, who is a member of SOA and currently in the prison system. Jax confronts Deputy David Hale about this and asks him, "Where are you at with it". He says "No where".
Unser confronts Hale as well. Hale gets in Unser's face. Say's who are you to talk? You've been on Clays tit from the beginning. Unser tells Hale that he chose him for a reason. He is the good guy. He needs him to stay that way, or the entire department will be nothing but a god damn joke.
Unser makes Hale keep a secret, and informs him about Gemma's rape.
The club takes a vote on retaliation now or later for the beating of Otto. The vote turns no majority so they will wait until they learn more and they can play it safe. They realize that the League is really big and powerful.
Two episodes back, a blonde woman tricks Gemma into helping her with her choking baby. Then to find out the baby was a doll, and she clocks Gemma and knocks her out. This is how they got a hold of Gemma to gang rape her. We find out in this episode #5 season 2 that this woman is Ethan Zobel's daughter. She has planted a car bomb minivan for the SOA mechanics to stumble upon. Chibs, played by Tommy Flanagan practically gets blown to kingdom come.
Luckily he heard the timer when he went to start the van, and took off running just before it blew, which I doubt would be covered by van insurance. He did get caught in the explosion though, and was somewhat burnt, cut up, and knocked out. This is where the show ended.
Again this was action packed, and the trailer for episode #6 has got me itching for more.
I can't wait!

Well the Frost your nuts run that I was supposed to go on last Saturday ended up being something I did not participate in as It snowed the night before. Frost and snow are two different things. I do my darndest not to ride in snow. Since the Frost your nuts run landed on my birthday this year, and that happened to be a Saturday, I decided to take the Friday prior, off from work and celebrate my own little holiday. I hate working on my birthday, so the last few years in a row I've made it a tradition to take my birthday off. If it lands on a weekend, I'll take the Friday off prior to it. I like to get in a little riding time and a wee bit of fishing as well on my birthday. It makes it special when the rest of the world around me is working and I'm off doing my own thing.
So I started off the morning by opening a gift that my In-laws gave me early. I'd had this since the weekend prior, due to a family gathering for a nephew's birthday. I hung onto it unopened until this last Friday. I opened my gift and here is what I found.
This card, LOL! with some cash.
Well, one has to wonder; What should I do with this new found cash?
I do believe a motorcycle ride to Tattoo Asylum was in order.
I had and 21 Yr. old Tat. of Mr. Horsepower that needed a facelift.
It's been bugging me for about the last 15 years or so.
Neil Reitan from Tattoo Asylum made it right for me.
I caught no fish, but I got out there. It snowed the Friday night that I got my tattoo, so riding in the Frost your nuts run was not a good option, but I got my tattoo taken care of. I also got to spend a lot of time with my family this weekend. This means a lot with our busy schedules. We even went out to eat for a special birthday dinner. I even found some time to get some projects done around the house. All in all, it was a great 3 day weekend for me.
I hope you all had a good weekend too.
By the way, its like 7:30 a.m. as I'm typing this now, and the picture below is what it looks like out my window. It's snowing right now as I type. This blows. I ain't ready for this shit yet.
P.S.,
Yeah, I know I'm behind on my S.O.A. review. I'll get to it.
