Time to say goodbye to the Strom

I can no longer make it through the garage without getting a bar end in the rib cage.  The Strom must go.

Perhaps it wasn’t an air leak after all

This is what i found after disassembling the fuel pump filter.

In search of a vacuum leak

Finally! A warm day.

“The Loop” is one of those quick “around the block” type of rides I use often to test gear or to clear the head. Having a 50/50 paved/dirt road mix it also offers a nice 1 mile section of trail that seems to always have some mud filled ruts.

Today I was testing the new GoPro Wide video camera. It worked better than expected performing quick adjustments between shade and direct sunlight. The wide angle view seems to distort the speed a bit creating the illusion of going faster than I really was. Believe me, I’m not THAT fast on a 500+ pound bike through the woods.
