Hey, when did our yard have a lake?

Just up the road from the house.



With the power being out for four days we resulted to toasting bagels and reheating coffee on the grill.

When everything finally calmed down I when out for a ride.




This is the same area as the picture above with the water finally receding. Thats a small one lane bridge in the background.



Chasing the setting sun.



Last ride home before heading back to the big city.

Next up is the Brooklyn Invitational. Don't miss it!

Melt Down!

Be careful about quick improvements you make. It may come back and bite you in the ass, or cause your battery to short circuit and have a total melt down. A small 1" wide by 7" long 18 gauge piece of steel just cost me big bucks. Big bucks because I don't have any spare parts laying around to fix this. And at this point I'm tired of dealing with a battery that doesnt fit correctly. Its going all stock, I've had it....





All trash.


Now it only took me a minute to figure out what happened. I guess I was more surprised that it even took out my rubber battery box mounts. That frame got hot!!!! I have to go through the rest of the bike and make sure everything else is ok. Not even my breaker could have prevented this.
