Y2k9

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

Things to do on 12/31: comtemplate on the year spent, write a blog post about it, and scribble the next set of new year resolutions. Here goes the first part:

Bye bye vulcan, welcome GS500 — trip, trip, crash, trip, trip, …
Masters — defense, best paper
Climbing — strech, pull, tumble, blame it on shoes
Civic — First car, sun roof ;)
Gym — guest pass? yes please
MS — $$, onboard, change team, onboard
Status change — Married.

Wondering about my Y2k10 post,  I am sure it would be a lot different.

Frozen clutch

Saturday, January 24th, 2009

Parking my motorbike out in the cold for good part of winter had resulted in a frozen clutch. As a result clutch could not disengage the transmission and so a gear shift caused a jerk and halted the bike. Thanks to a quick tip from Action Sports and help from CJ, this was fixed!

Grip the front wheel against the  parking curb and then holding both the brakes, shift the gear on slightly high throttle.

Note: Exercise caution while attempting this! At your own risk.
