No sissies, but we are sensitive.

4 lives were saved today. Dillion stuck it out til the end.

Seen my first bear, pretty good sized guy. About as tall and long as a bike.

I got up early yesterday, swapped sprockets only to swap back because my chain was too short, loaded up left a little late as usual. Normally I make up the time by speeding down the twists and turns of Omo ranch road, no land speed records as I’m in a 1968 f100, but pretty fast for a truck with drum brakes and no power steering. Something was different yesterday, I wasn’t in a rush, I decided I didn’t need to make it for breakfast, my gas station snacks were enough. I drove like it was a Saturday morning. Took my time. Good thing I did too, the nuts backed off the steering coupler and it ended up falling off, I noticed when the truck crossed the double yellow and heading for the bank, I didn’t panic, let off the gas, while turning the steering wheel to the right and somehow the loose bolts caught the steering box one last time so I could get to the right side of the shoulder, where I parked turned on the hazards and had a quick laugh. My first thought was I cheated death. 
 

I popped the hood and saw the coupler missing, I walked the road and found it sitting the the middle of the road. Then I searched for some bolts I could use to get myself off the road. Triple clamp pinch bolts and the locking nuts on the rear sprocket did the trick! I sat back in the driver seat, turned off the hazards and had another quick little laugh. 
 

the ride went ok, i went to my trail and did some exploring, flooded the bike in the creek for no reason fixed it and did some more exploring.

Even though the Riddler has a tremendous amount of disdain for me now, losing him would have been a tremendous blow to our small(but tremendous) dirt bike community. 

The Riddler as tough as she is, she likely may not have been able survive that accident. I would have gladly traded places with her, I know I'd walk away from that accident relatively unscathed.

You're right, whatever's in front of her she just goes over, like your bike.

Maybe someone from the south trying to keep the northern king on his side of the grapevine ? Suspicious timing.

Highly likely.

You should probably take it to the guy who changes wfbb's tires instead.

No need to risk breaking a nail...
