Cut off day

So I put the new brake pads on this morning. Took about 20 minutes. Takes a little while to break them in, but I'm heading out for a 500 mile weekend, so that shouldn't be a problem.

(By the way, brake pads are surprisingly easy. It's one of those things where you learn once and can apply it to any vehicle. Like changing oil or fixing a flat. Totally worth learning.)

So that's it. One week until Moto2our and it's the cutoff for doing anything to the bike.

I got everything done except replacing the crankcase breather hose. No big deal. Won't be a problem unless I accidentally put an extra gallon of oil in the bike. Not exactly a common mistake.

So what's with the picture? Well, the bouncer at Saint Ex was kind enough to point out that my driver's license expires on my birthday. Which is smack in the middle of Moto2our. Good thing he spotted it. I never would have looked. So here I am. DMV. In line. Waiting.

Update: Next time you see me, ask to see my DL picture. It's a hoot.
