Agreed. Getting Mrs. C out of Chez Fromage would be a challenge. But, as I will no longer commuting as I have in the past, there is a slight possibility of making it happen. Mrs. C has actually been checking out properties with acreage and large out buildings online. Just not sure what would happen if I suggest we go look.

Sounds like it may not be as much of a challenge as you may think... Just think of the possibilities. Could make yourself a proper obstacle course for the Ural!

If it would happen, Mrs C would be the proud owner of the ATV of her choosing. She wants one, but I'm not willing to buy a trailer just to haul an ATV someplace just to ride it.

That's more mileage than my bike has seen in two years. That'll change next year.

wheel weights are over rated.

I'm happy to see this thread which was started back in 2012. I don't feel so bad about how long it's taking me to get my cafe project done.

Deja vu all over again.

Rode the Maggot to its new parking place today. Probably the only decent day to do it. It's still a fun ride.

Weld, I can tell you from first-hand experience, it doesn't solve anything. It just means you get more stuff to take up space in all the corners...
