A pic from this weekends ride

So i took the monkey out up on skyline blv/Hwy 35.

its a big moto hang out for the Bay Area, lots of twisties.

Here is are two pic from Skywood trading post, across the street from the famous Alices.

This is the first time ive had the bike out in that area, and it was a pretty good ride even though i got a oil leak to fix now.

Close enough to see all the dirt and oil drippings. here you go.

As for mileage I have no clue, not as good as I thought I was. I actually ran out of gas and had to push for a mile. I really screwed myself, I was going to go on to 4 corners from Alices and back and i got to about pagemill rd and ran dry. Before I left Alices I had a look in the tank and there was plenty there I thought. So I started to push back towards Alices knowing that I was a good 3 plus miles so of it. lucky for me after about a mile a local in a truck stopped and gave me a gallon of gas for free. You got to love some of the locals up there. He says he always keeps a can of gas with him just for this reason.

Sweet. Good for the local

Does this mean you're going to end up with some sort of unobtanium 8 gallon invisible tank now? :P

Damn Brad, I spent the weekend trying to find someone to go ride with. I finally ended up putting the East Bay canyons.....

Your bike still kills me, nice ride.

Oil from the base gasket.

YEY! another teardown of the nice motor. Too bad i dont have the extra scratch for a 58mm cylinder, piston, and a 62mm crank. Someday, someday... sigh.
