kinda happy with where I am at on the farkles of the X , some future farkles are rear disk guard , a larger fuel tank , better (larger ) footpegs , a street legal kit (not to ride on the street as much as to be legal should I have to cross one or ride down one to get where ever.) , I am not in a great hurry as I am enjoying it as is , my skill level still sucks , so as I grow in skill I will add others . there is a off road park about an hour from my house , Hidden Falls , when I feel I am ready for that place I will need the disk guard as HF's is very rocky with 3 and 4 diamond trails , I am a 1 diamond guy now.

rain, rain , and more rain.... that means mud , growing grass I have to mow , no work as it is to wet , means less money in the pocket , that causes stress …… how do they live in Seattle?

they (seattle ) get a lot more days of rain , just the light drizzle type I think , were we get rain on fewer days just rains harder . at least this is my perception of seattle , and our son and daughter with their spouses(who live in seattle ) seem to report that . Austin has received 5.78 inches so far in April . that's what the weather dude reports this morning ,with 2 to 3 inches expected today... mainly it is this, it rains I sit at the house , boring.

so as one can see it is loaded , went for a test drive …… it moves around a lot.... disconcerting as everything I do you do not want it moving around …. I will have to give this a lot of thought …. I could haul 3 bikes ,2 in bed (tailgate off) 1 on carrier , but if it was easy to load in bed then I would not need carrier...… with some practice it will get better I think.... or I may just use the 18 foot trailer , all ready own it , i could haul 8 or 10 bikes on my trailer, 1 just looks silly.

the black widow receiver hitch motorcycle carrier works. made it to my place and back , it did not fall off truck . loading bike is doable , unloading bike also. but there is technique to it . will I buy one for myself , not sure . I will use it a few more times by then I should get the hang of it or not. put 1 mile on bike today..... today was a work day cleaning up a rental property mess left for me. more to come.
