I removed the shinktook it for a "dual sport" ride. We did about 50 miles on dirt roads. The whole trip was about 150 miles. When you watch the video, remember that I shot it using a hand-held camera. One hand on the camera, one hand on the throttle. I kind of made the dirt roads look easy. The only problem was that all that rough road made a few screws loosen up and I almost lost a few.

But today, I tried to get it to start and it laughed at me. Seriously, jacket on and it wouldn't start. Jacket off starts just fine. Put the jacket on while it's started and I'm sitting on it. It died. It was toying with me."Courage is not reckless abandon, or bravery in the absence of fear. It is the knowledge of fear, the wisdom to know the costs of failure, the prudence to minimize those costs, and, in so doing, courage is the mastery of fear. Courage without fear is lunacy."

Today I put on the long underwear and my down vest under my riding gear and took the Kat out for a ride in the lovely 46 degree Wisconsin weather. The bike ran like a dream and after a few miles I began to ignore the tempature and just enjoyed the ride. A great way to waste away a couple hours for Halloween!Don’t walk before you can crawl, and don’t try to sprint until you are a good walker. Use your head, wear the gear, and have fun

I put new coils on the kat and put the airbox/tank back on. It was raining out so I didn't bother trying to fire the bike up. Now it's dark with wet streets. Try again tomorrow. Have to fix my dad's laptop then though."Courage is not reckless abandon, or bravery in the absence of fear.
