In the morning we rode to Kragen’s for tubing for Don’s tank. IN the evening we rode to Honda Peninsula to get another gasket. Sigh! I learnt something today. I was getting my book ready to release on Raven’s Quest. I was ready about 3pm. I asked Don if he was going ot be ready; [...]

Rode on back to Milpitas with Don again. He needed another gasket… it’s taking a bit longer than he expected. This time we got to go in the daytime, and I managed to snarf five historical markers while driving by, so that is okay.

I topped off the battery water today. Yay me! I didn’t even need to be told what to do. I can now officially top off my battery water, myself. Life is a learning experience, and it seems I have learnt how to do that. ‘m not making too much fuss over this. A year ago, [...]

This post is part of a series. The index is here. We’ll put the crankcase halves together, and replace a few O-rings along the way. We prepared for this by purchasing two wrist pin clips from the closest Yamaha dealership, and an overhaul gasket-and-O-ring kit via ebay. We had to return to Yamaha for a [...]

Well, Don’s bike is apart, and his gasket came in. We left it rather late to go pick it up, but we just made it, despite getting rather lost (they changed the freeway!). Honda Milpitas kindly let us in to pick up the item. While riding around, I noticed several historical markers, and found them [...]

Miles Today: 23.6 Miles This Month: 128.4 Miles This Year: 660.4 Don started pulling his motorcycle apart. He has figured out how to remove the cylinder heads without removing the 400lb engine. This is a Good Thing. However, before he did that, he rode with me as far as the point where Lawrence becomes Quito. [...]

Miles Today: 12.9 Miles This Month: 104.8 Miles This Year: 636.8 Well, I rode to the WoW meeting tonight. I took Evelyn, it was dark, and I turned off too soon. Oops! I rode through a maze of twisty passages all the same, and even did a couple of u-turns without thinking about it too [...]

Miles Today: 8.5 Miles This Month: 91.9 Miles This Year: 623.9 Don was rather down about the mouth today. He didn’t even seem that interested in a ride. The trouble is the job hunt, which is laborious and unproductive. I made him go for a ride anyway. We went to get more fresh veges and [...]

Miles Today: 5.4 Miles This Month: 83.4 Miles This Year: 615.4 My first solo ride since June! Don had been nocturnal and conked out, and I absolutely had to return a library book and do a couple other things. So off I went. I didn’t do badly at all.
