breakdowns, summer edition…
It seems like I’ve said this before… I need more preventive maintenance in between riding seasons. This time, it was my dirtbike, rather then my sled, that broke down right into the riding season.
Going into the season, I knew I needed new tires. They weren’t that worn out, so I figured I could run them for a while. Not the case when the front went flat. No problem, I’ll get new tires. When I took the rear wheel off, I noticed the bearings were loose. Cool, just order a new set of bearings, and put them on when I get them. No hurry. That was the mistake. They went out on the second ride with the new tires. While they were at it, they tore up a couple more parts, too.
So that’s a quick update. I’ve been out of riding for a couple weeks now, and I’ve still got some “ride-less” time ahead….
