Nice bike Aaron. If we ever find time we should go for a ride!

I am never sure where to park at the U of S with my bike, so I dont drive it. I always buy parking passes, but not sure which lot is ok, as I usually park right next to the education building.


Last year for ya too, thats awesome! Im just starting year number 2 haha.

Nice bike Aaron. This year I`m working across and down the river, last year I was behind the Diefenbaker Center for about 3 months.

Thanks Sheldon. I'd love to go for a ride some time. It's hard finding someone to go for a ride with that doesn't own some lame-*** street bike that they can barely ride... damn ricers (they fall into the same category as cars for me).

I almost always park at Physics. It's a great parking lot at the start of the year, during the start of fall and during finals. That accounts for about 2 weeks of parking... the rest of the time it stinks out loud because of idiots who can't park worth a damn... then I just park between the faculty parking lot for PAC and the PAC building. Never more than 2-5 bikes in there.

And yeah, it'll be real nice to be done this year. I need to start making some money so I can buy me some more toys and load my bike up with some more mods!

Sorry to hear that Sherm. Hopefully it's fixed soon. At least with that Feista you'll get the sticker-quoted mileage you wanted with the ecoboost!

Thanks Morris, always appreciated.



More progress on my build tonight! It's not much but I'll take it. It has given me drive to work on my bike on Monday because I'm headed to the lake this weekend. Can't wait to celebrate my small victories on my truck with some friends.

yes, warranty will cover the fix...unless they come up with some BS excuse and say my 1 size bigger tires caused the issue... (not expecting that to happen)...

The fiesta is no more. Their loaner truck came back late afternoon and was swapped out. Its a new 5.0 truck. Sounds sweet but is noticeable short on torque compared to my ecoboost. However, I think it gets better fuel economy... ???

Prep, I'll gladly hook my ecoboost to any weight that you can hook your diesel to and pull it with similar ease...we won't compare fuel economy tho...

Wow!! I think the Earth's axes tipped or something.
It has been nice and getting nicer here the last few days.
Today I went to town. Got a late start and crossed over the pass in the center of the island around High Noon today.

Man Oh Man it was hot as h---. I never seen the temp or know how hot it was but it was to hot to think of anything but finding some shade.

The nice thing is that when we got to town ya would a thought we was in SoCal as the girls was all dressed to keep cool. And THAT was cool

You like the summer girls eh Y Block? The shorty shorts and bikini tops are ok, but for me a good fitting pair of jeans (not those skinny jeans style) and a white tank top is about the best thing a girl can wear...
