It's been a couple of weeks since I've been able to ride, cuz the last time wasn't the best experience (or the worst), I blew my front tire on a rock, and my bike was stuttering anytime I'd go past 1/2 throttle (what can you do with only 1/2 throttle????).  So I took in to the shop to figure it out, and while it's there hopefully get the chain tensioner bolt drilled out (mis-hap from another trip).  Needless to say I'm uber-antsy to get back to the dunes, and we're going to make it a worth-while reunion, going up to Idaho and spend the weekend at St. Anthony.  I can't wait!!!!
