Well after driving to Illinois (Almost 1,500 miles - took three days to get there) for a family emergency, (Left on the 14th) I stayed, until the 25th, leaving Chris there to help out my son and his family, until he fully recovers, I drove back in two days. I did 830+ miles on the first day and the rest on the second day. One issue we had on our way there was getting over the 10,500 ft & 11,200 ft passes just west of Denver. They were caked in ice, while it was snowing. I put my Tacoma into 4x4 mode and we drove right through it all. A number of big rigs and non 4x4 vehicles we stuck on the side of the road. But we were glad to get through it without any issues.
Now that that's out of the way, back to the bike!
Today, I played musical chairs with the 2004 & the 2012. I sent the 2004 out to the tractor shed, and moved the 2012 by the shelves. That gave me the room I need to be able to work on the bike without having to move my truck out of the garage and the 2012 to where I park the Tacoma.
With that taken care of, I finally got back to the bike. My task today was to reinstall the rear tire and prep it for a sponge bath. That may not happen tomorrow, depending when the rain will hit. I also need to park the engine back up on the lift, so I can get to it. I'll then park the frame where I was parking the 2012.
Got all of that?
Here's the AZ2005 ready for the bath:
Where the bins are sitting to the right of the picture, is where the frame will sit while I work on the engine.
