Dirt Hunter

 

Went on a hunt for some urban dirt last night. Found a good little patch of muck in a spare lot in the New North Industrial area. But that little adventure has inspired me to find amazing urban dirt locations for fun flinging of frack. Stay tuned for the misadventures and possible trespassing fines to come.

Stolen Banner pic

Totally snaked the new banner photo from Liam down in Regina. He's working out the bugs in his T as well and also happens to have inherited a charging problem by the name of the Wizard Hunter (my old Dale) from me. Follow his crazy ass with yer phones. He's a gasssss. ahhah He's @lannymcd on the gram and he's with the 501Kult too.

Weekended

Here's a few from the weekend. Opened up the carb on Carole's CT1 The Lil Desert Rose and found this. Uhhh...wow. Cleaned it up and took the worst of it over to Dirk who put it through his Ultrasonic cleany thingy and putter all back together. Starts first kick now. Boom ring ding.

 

Actually had some good luck with bikes this weekend. Currently all three of my steeds are running at optimal muleage. The XT needs the rear brake cleaned and a petcock rebuild, the headlights keep blowing and the signals dont work quite right, but she's running strong. The CT1 needs a tune up and about a million little things (poor neglected nelly), and the shovel is well timed now and the clutch seems to be pretty well sorted, but I've still got an intake leak that's driving me insane. pop pop fart fart.

Regardless of the bappity bap bap I got the shovel out a couple times and even went on a little trek with Cole last night. Oh and the OG antiquated mule got a primo parking spot on the drive way because it's plates have expired and I'm too broke fixing bikes to renew. hahah

Otopasso bound

The family and I headed out to Otopasso for the opening day races. It was a big hit with the boys and when we got home Elliott was pretty damn sure he was not going another minute without riding his birthday present. So he did. Now I gotta get the XT back up and running so we can get out to the trails!

Tilly

 Git behind the mule...

...in the morning and plow. Starting a small farming operation this year so I thought we could use some mule brand farming equipment. Got this old Craftsman Tiller off kijiji and had it turning dirt again the next day. Tilly is now preparing our fertile ground for some heritage seeds.

XTra dirty

 

I think I'm really getting the hang of this XT. Took it out to the snow dump yesterday to see what the mud situation was like...it's muddy. Heavy thick clay based-get your boots stuck-don't drop your bike because its sinks like quicksand- kinda muddy.

Another one gone

The classic country men are thinning out. See them if you can, while you can.

The old DT250

 

So remember how I sold the DT250 to Chuck and Dirk for them to part out? Yeah well, Chuck decided to do something rad with his half...

With or without you springtime...

Had a little incident riding home from band practice last night. Snow storm, headlight went out, almost ran out of gas. Got home safe and sound to my little igloo. That's right crappy winter weather I got home alive, you lose!!

Note the ice packed into my ears here.

A bit of video from the Garage Artist's Keepin' it Greasy event in Barcelona. I had a few videos playing as part of the film festival here. Looks like it was a good time.
