Corrosion Breaks Things

broken bolt

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

when oil changes go wrong

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)

Santa Rides a Polar Bear

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?

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.

A Waving Duc

GS at Lake Como

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.
