In my last post, I mentioned I was changing the Urals tires, but it didn’t go very smoothly. One of the mounting bolts for the front caliper got stuck about a 1/3 of the way out.

Snow Tires for the Ural
I turned over 15,000km on the Ural last weekend and decided to do some maintenance. Little did I know it would turn into a multi-day ordeal at no fault of the Ural.

Santa Rides a Polar Bear (SBC#5)
Previously I posted about the “Polar Bear Crossing” sign we found in South Padre Island, TX. Down the block and around the corner, I found this yard completely decked out.

Polar Bear Crossing?
No, this isn’t photoshopped. This is a real sign we found this sign on our recent trip to South Padre Island, TX. I love that it is right next to palm trees. Details to follow.

And the winner is…
Thank you to all who entered the drawing for the IMS motorcycle show tickets. I compiled them all into a list and gave each entrant a number.
With my wife as a witness, I used random.org to pick two numbers; the numbers for Paul Streeter and jC were drawn. Congratulations, you’ve each won a ticket!
Send me an email with your address, and I will get the ticket mailed as soon as possible!
PS: For those who didn’t win try promo code “EARLYBIRD” to get $$ off your tickets when you buy online.

A Waving Duc
It was 53F today! I had planned on taking the Super9 out to play, but I the warm air messed with my brain. I rearranged the garage, and dragged the R1150GS out. I did a quick T-CLOCS. Everything checked out. It fired up on the first try too. Nice.
