Coming hone tonight from work I blew my damn rear tire....heard a loud pop and she got real heavy in the back. I knew I was screwed so I pulled over, walked for fixaflat, popped enough in there to ride home. I am so pissed right now. Its 530am and my tire won't hold air, no idea if anyone can change a tire TOMORROW and if not my weekend is trashed!!!!!!!!!!
Wanna shoot something, damn it to hell

Hmmmm today was expensive
Tires= 280
Oil change, mounting tires= 170
Riding to the gap in 12hrs= priceless
For some things, there is cash....for everything else there are two wheels

So here I sit @ rest area #5, shivering a little, back sucks cuz bookbag, knees getting bit weary, and getting a bit sleepy. Got another 300 miles and 6hrs to go. Left @ 130am so shouldn't have that long left but construction owns me! Sun is coming out, please warm + wake me...talk to you all soon. A nap is in order :)

I met you at Wheelers when you were getting a front brake lever put on . I hope the rest of your trip went well and I can't wait to see your pictures

list of parts needed:
1. jet kit or re-jetted
2. air filter--ordering K&N tonight
3. gas leak--gotta figure that one out tomorrow
4. rear end bounces like a bowl full of jelly when i come to a stop, thinking it's the rear caliper
trip back was boring, kinda regret going the way that i was told to go...sure it shaved about 3 hours off total time but i missed riding back 129 for 100 miles, lemme tell yah something, if you go there or live in the area head up to BLOOD MOUNTAIN --it's about 2hrs south of the Gap, depending on who's driving--
Anyways i dropped the film off last night (3 1/2 rolls -- not sure what's on the other 1/2) but i should have the pics up by thursday night
depending on cost of all this crap, might be back in june
