Sea fog, the water temp is 59* so...

Got up to 5C (41F) so went and got some much needed helmet time.

I rode mine to work today. Everyone watch out for this crazy holiday traffic. Instead of kicking back taking it easy, the fools are zig zagging between cars and wrecking all over the place. We had at least three major road shutdowns yesterday at the same time.

My TW200 donated 4 spokes today for a brother in Canada. Is that like giving a kidney in motorcycle speak? Ha!

53 for the high, clear, no breeze and I spent the day working on my tractor fixing leaking hydraulic lines.

Horrible riding weather here, 81 degrees when I came home.

Your guard dog looks nothing like his picture.

 

[Fred]

Interveiwing new guard "dogs" last few days for the night shift..

 

[Snapper33]

You have an active animal farm Fred

 

[Fred]

They do get active after a storm. Camera picks them up at intersection of this buck’s game trail, a road to my back forty, my driveway and an abandoned railroad grade making a bit of a hub of wildlife corridors.

Not today but just general the last few weeks -

Unclogged pilot jet, runs great again! I sometimes wonder if the previous owner that had put such a large pilot jet in there originally was onto something.... It was crazy too rich but maybe it prevented pilot jet clogs

Swapped to a different gas tank. A bit better for my riding style and for my dog to balance his front feet on.

Removed rear toolbox. Just got in the way too much. But that means the tool weight is in my backpack now.

Removed rear passenger peg setup. No longer needed with the JNS swingarm extension, front tire doesn't lift away from me like it did before. Also less snag chance on get offs. Less weight is always good too.

Still need to make a new windshield, forgot to remove mine when I trailered it up to Bishop area and it blew away

The forward mount on the DG exhaust snapped. But it's probably because I'm not running a TW header and I also have a spacer on it in the back that pushes it out away from the rear tire. BUT, I don't think I'll bother fixing it, because it has a very firm connection to the bike. I DO need to make an exhaust clamp for the header joint though, I see some pressure being released there on acceleration. Feels louder too.

I also need to make a mount for the front of the seat, as it's currently not hooked up to anything.

Oh and a forum member gave me a great deal on a knobbier front tire that I look forward to testing out when I'm back to 100%

Using Oldworld124’s two piece jig I drilled 1&3/8ths holes for the stufidmoto hub adapter. Now using slow cure painting booth for the new paint.
Oldworld also sent these, I guess to put under Betty Boop to catch the oil leaks?
Seriously John is a great guy. Christmas snacks go in the bowl. The jig for indexing the trailer wheel cut outs is simple elegance, worked perfectly. Many thanks!

Tank looks great D_T_M!!

How about a tool tube on the left rear? If there's room between the side rack & atv tire.

I liked that small shield you had on the front box.

Back pain is debilitating and I empathize with your situation.
Traditional medical intervention did nothing for me, including epidural injections. Decades of sports related injuries left my skeletal system trashed. It may seem counterintuitive, but I rehabbed myself with yoga, stretching exercises, and plank exercises. By ultimately strengthening the back muscles and core, the spine was much better supported and I finally got my life back. I still eat Ibuprofen like candy when I need to, but I can play like a rock star! Don't give up!

Great Advice!

I have a re-occurring knee injury that I am now trying to remedy through strength training and cardio. Beyond strengthening my knee/hamstrings/quads, a great side affect has been I've lost 25 lbs to date. When spring arrives my TW won't know what hit it when I try to push that little bike harder than ever, lol.

I started having knee pain last year, a friend recommended these knee braces before hiking or workouts, yardwork, etc........ they are a real game changer and can be worn fairly comfortably all day

Split my cracked case, cleaned innards, restored a crusty XT pipe.

 

[Snapper33]

How did you get that pipe so shiny?

 

[Mistervelocity]

Wire wheel and 220 grit sand paper on the stubborn spots. Followed up with Scotchbrite pads. The bright finish is temporary and I was just removing some oil staining and baked on mud. It goes back to the straw color after you run it a couple times.
Additional FYI for anyone swapping on the stainless XT headpipe; You'll need to cut about 3/4" off the muffler end. Otherwise it's a directed fit.
