Evening all.
Well, the carbs are still on the bike.
By the time I got done running around town doing errands, it was too hot to touch the bike. 104 in the sun, it said. Anyway, it's an '82 Suzuki GS550L. My dad bought it in 84 or '85 when the Air Force moved him from North Dakota to Southern California. He could get from his base to his mom's house in a weekend for $2.
It's been sitting since my mom had her surgery in '95, but the engine's not seized, so I want to fix it up and ride it.
Rodeo went well enough. Nobody made it through the short round. And our only local boy in it didn't make 2 seconds. But, it was a good time, and there were exhibition motorcyclists. If YouTube will decide to work for me, I'll upload the video I took.
I took the dog out this morning for a swim and she cut her foot pretty badly. It bled for 30 minutes before I got her to calm down enough for it to clot a bit. Now she just keeps licking it. She's still licking it, but I think it's starting to scab a little. She won't be going on any long walks for a while, though.
