Photos from the Road

We worked a lot while we were on the road, but we did get some riding in. One highlight was meeting my friend David Blasco of the renowned RoyalEnfields.com blog. I rode out to have lunch with him and his lovely wife, Bonnie. They're such great people and I loved swapping Enfield stories and hearing about their other adventures in the blogosphere.

When we got back, Hudson (my 5 yr old) and I wanted to spend some quality time working on the Enfield. I confess I sort of gerry-rigged a setup to tighten a very sloppy primary chain. I used a rubber caster cup. Don't judge me. Hudson pointed out my hands were getting dirty and I told him that a long time ago, someone taught me never to be afraid to get your hands dirty when you work. Nothing is so pointless as four people standing around staring at an unsolved problem because no one wants to get grease under their nails.  He said he wanted to "put it back together" so I let him do the wrenching. There's no place like home.

Yes, I used a rubber caster cup to tense up the primary chain.

My little guy, Hudson: not afraid of dirt

A job well done. Now, we ride.
