BikerGoddess and I went for a ride down the peninsula today. It was gorgeous...sunny, warmand not too much of a breeze. But when we got to Alice's I noticed that my bike was hemorrhaging coolant and wasn't going to make it much farther. A small hole had formed in the smaller coolant hose, but it was enough to drain nearly half of the coolant [bang] [bang] [bang] [bang] [bang]

After duct-taping the hose, I was able to limp the bike to MrIncredible's house, where we cannibalized some hose from his Jeep and put together something that would work. I managed to make it home just as the bike hit 225 degrees after being stuck in traffic.

Many thanks for the help, Dave!

They got fed and a bike fixed.

My rates are terribly reasonable.



Ya'll should come to the shindig next weekend.

Very glad the bike got fixed because the prospect of riding the Scarabeo 2-up all the way back to SF wasn't terribly appealing.

BTW, can't wait for next weekend! The Incredibles have quite the palatial estate! [thumbsup] (And potential dirtbike/tard track ;D)

I call it the Incredible Compound.  Still expecting to read about a few dozen people drinking poison Kool-Aid there one day...perhaps next weekend.   :P

I'm all for it, I've got restraint....  [laugh]  [laugh]  [laugh]
Ok, so maybe not.

But it would be fun.   ;D
