More snow.

Drove it pretty hard though, rattled the screws that hold my choke on loose so that all fell apart, the overflow tube on the rad puked all the old nasty corrosion and gunk onto my valve cover and carb, and finally, annihilated a front wheel bearing coming down the mountain tonight. Tomorrow morning I'll make the trek back up to do a roadside bearing job (hopefully successful) and drive home for a quick overhaul to get her back to daily for work Monday.

haha Winter hit and now my weekends are spent above the fog of the valley. Once it warms back up I'll post what all I've done, but I'll have a big ol' update for that. Lots to catch up on here.

An hour drive back up, had it rebuilt and reassembled in 45 minutes. Enough time left in the day to head back up to the mountain... But with 2 goons this time.
