I rode the shoveldown to see my dad this weekend and the throwout bearing decided it was time to die. So it did. Took the pushrod and the adjuster screw with it. I tweaked it twice to get enough shfts to get home but now its pulled apart and waiting on parts which of course I have to order because there is no decent shop around here.
Hell, the harley shp doesn't even stock master links anymore so I know they don't have a replacement on the shelf.
So anyway, I figure this is the perfect week to start commuting by bicycle. I got by beater mountain bike sorted out this weekend and rode yesterday afternoon. It is not a bad 5 mile ride, except for all the dumptrucks. I only got a little sweaty, but I solved that problem this morning by wearing a tshirt and folding my dress shirt up in my bag.
Today I will get 4 trips / 20 miles in, but I think when I get the motorbike fixed I will ride it in the am so I can go to the gym and take the pedal bike after lunch. Should be a good way to get another 50 miles in a week and not too much of a hassle now that it is cooler out.
2 wheels good.
