Painted my TUBES and Trees, repacked bearings, and reinstalled trees.
Waiting for correct Gaiters to get here so I can put the tubes and forks back on, and reinstall axle and wheel!
Was 60 today, supposed to be 65 by thursday and sunny. Gonna try to wrap up this front end repaint by then!

Good job slowing down for the intersection and being aware that folks in cages do some really dumb things sometimes.

Glad you're ok.



btw, your video is why I don't feel one bit bad about irritating cagers with my modulating LED headlight.

Good job staying upright and most of all uninjured/alive! Dip s#!% seems like he had no regard for your life and was trying to beat you to the intersection. Glad u were paying attention and were able to avoid a collision.

I crapped a little just watching that! The good news is that if you did hit that SUV, the driver would've been just fine. That does seem to be all they care about.
Now, if you were a little quicker...boot heel to his rear brake light assembly.
