Wow! It’s only been a month since I moved. The big stuff was no problem but the small stuff like picking a new grocery store and finding a new barber are challenging. I started today with a good hair cut so one more thing on the list has a check mark. All this used wood will become two tables. One clean table/stand up desk and the other a stepped table for my drill presses and my belt sander. Progress.

They’re called “Universal Joints” but they don’t really hold the Universe together. This one and it’s partner at the front will get me to the track this weekend. Portland with OMRRA.

This pink Snap On ratchet screw driver may have been the first Snap On tool I ever bought. That was back in 1983 and I got it from Ruddy Stam the Snap On man. Snap On warrantied it for me because the gears slip a little. They don’t have pink anymore so I went with KTM orange because I work at Gray Area KTM now. I don’t remember how much I paid for that Snap On tool but it was well worth it.

My spring shelf is gray. You could say that’s it’s my Gray Area KTM…

I sold my motorcycle lift rather than move it. With my new lift I’m ready to start working on whole bikes. @ Gray Area KTM & Lindemann Engineering.

My first event at The Ridge is in the book. 2 Fast Track Days runs a good program, I really like how they emphasize that the overtaking rider is responsible for making a clean pass and that they enforce their rules. I was tired on Monday but still went out for two sessions, on my 33 lap, I did 2.03.29 by myself, bettering my 2.03.39 following an instructor on a 600 Sunday. Give me 50 more laps and I’ll have this challenging and fun track dialed. My SV650 with it’s M4 Exhaust sounds so good in the cool dense PNW air! I’m on my way home to Gray Area KTM.

This will be track number 68 for me. Lindemann Engineering & Gray Area KTM are Suspension Vending at The Ridge Sun & Mon with 2 Fast Track Days.

Big progress on the new shop today. Tomorrow I’ll do my first job in this new space.

See you at The Ridge. Track number 68 for me. I’ll be Suspension Vending with 2 Fast Track Days this Sun & Mon, May 10th & 11th. Then it’s off to track #69, Oregon Raceway Park, the following Sat & Sun, May 16th & 17th. I’ll ride my SV at both. This summer is going to be packed! Check out my Calendar Page and watch the dates pile up.
