Overland Expo 2011

Met Grant and Susan at the Overland Expo in Arizona. Lovelly couple and had some nice conversations. Though I must warn you never to lend Grant your bike for demonstration purposes unless it is in perfect condition (mine is far from it)

On the other hand, I took the critiques and have fixed most of them now. Just minor adjustments in the ergonomics of the bike and a bit of lube. Dunno if I will notice the difference but the advice was welcomed all the same.

Was anyone else there at the Expo? I met alot of bikers and a few said they use the HUBB. It was great to meet a lot of like minded people from around the world and to share hints and tips.

first ride since adjustment

Noticed a scratching noise on using the clutch. Apparently tightening up the cable a tad pulled a freyed part close enough to the end of the cable housing to start catching on the lip.

Turns out the cable was freyed about 3 inches from the top and only had a few strands holding it together. New cable dropped in, fresh lubed and it appears we are good to go.

Will have to get a new spare soon! Lucky catch though.
