I worked on bikes all damned day. Tackled three different projects of varying scope.
Managed to finally get my nuts out of my purse and braze the damned oil tank on the Tuono; no more partial fixes on that fuggin thing.
Swapped a fatty for a gnarly on my CR.
Did some swingarm mods to shorten the wheelbase on the KTM, as well as install new axle block style swingarm sliders.
Didn't manage to go for a ride, though.
Damnit, I want to go ride some dirt right now.

I see SOMEBODY doesn't love me enough to pay attention to every little detail of my life!
Yeah, I've got a KLX650 that I've fairly heavily modded out for dirty dirt use, and have been riding in the desert for a few years. I just started riding it on trails around here, though, and found it far too heavy to be enjoyable on more than one occasion. That being the case, I rather impulsively gobbled up a good deal on a 96 CR250 that damn near killed me the first time I rode it, because it's set up as a motocrossing mud missile, and almost launched me off a cliff.
The KTM 525 only sees dirt when it gets crashed, though... It's a supermoto, and there aren't any tracks around here with dirt sections.
I haven't gone for a real ride on public roads since about... June? July?
I'm planning on doing a group ride on Friday with a few of the local sportbike cats, but after that, I'm putting the Tuono on craigslist in a staunch effort to keep my poor lack of impulse control isolated to low consequence environments like the dirt and the track.

BTW, brazing shit is jangleplatz!
I've only played a little bit with gas welding, but I'm seriously going to start doing it more often. Very cool stuff.

I want to see what the CR looks like...off to dig through threads.
Or, you can just post a pic of it here...just for my gratification.
