The weather has been mild here for the past month or so. It was warm and sunny today. I'm ready for spring. I am also feeling deprived. Its been way too long since my last motorcycle ride. I was inspired to finally order the clutch plates and springs for the GpZ. The parts were $114 from Vicious Cycle. I'll probably start going there for all my misc. motorcycle needs. They are pretty close to me and its good to support local independent shops. If its nice this weekend and the parts have arrived I may try to change the worn out clutch parts then. It would be nice to get a few good rides in before I try to sell it. I've had some great times on the Kawi, improved my skills an amazing amount on it, and it was the perfect bike for me at the time, but it just isn't practical for in-town driving, which is most of the driving that I do now. I really wish I still had the DRZ-400SM. Super-amazing fun bike! If I sell both the GpZ and the Sportster maybe I'll have enough to get another 400.
Speaking of the Sportster, I'm afraid I need to admit defeat and take it to a shop, maybe Johnny's in Vancouver, and have them fix my starting problem. I think I know what the problem is, but I don't want to be stuck with another expensive part I don't need if I'm wrong. Right now the project is stalled until I can get that specific issue fixed. I've done little to nothing on it for 2 months or more.

the Oregon Cascades in July 2007
The DRZ, only a little over a year old,
waiting for its new owner in 2006.
New rear tire had less than 15 miles on it.
Best bike EVAR!
