Now I would havethe next Mechenical problem and this one was a bit more serious . I broke my Shock Bolt. I was noticing my Rear end felt very loose and and when I stopped the bolt was half way oput , tried to put it back in and it could thread to nothing , pulled it out and it was broken, so we put it back in and Held it in place with Duct tape. Yeah it was loose butthe bike was rideable , However I rode very Gingerly the rest of the way , Walked on some fun stuff I wanted to ride , but didn't want to Push my luck.

Duct Tape it can fix anything!!!

So it was a good tour yes? Jozz and Karine enjoyed the ride?

And splat if you call watching my son pitch three scoreless innings in an all star game bailing, well I'll take that type of bailing any day of the week over any type of bike ride.

Have fun in Nam today.
