More preventative maintenance
Last night I changed out the wheel bearings on the kdx 200 and installed a K&N air filter. Tonight it's time to change the gear oil on the kdx. Then it's off to install rim locks, oil change, and install a rear rotor protector on the DRZ. If there is still time after that I need to install a new rear on the v-strom. Then I should finally be caught up for at least a few days. The wheel bearings were really stuck in the kdx last night and the project took much longer than I thought that it would. Hopefully tonight everything goes smoothly and I get a ton done. With all this maintenance there hasn't been much time to ride this week.
Arkansas Ride
Last weekend my wife and I joined our friends for another ride in Arkansas. It was a wonderful weekend of riding. The fall colors were amazing and the weather was decent despite a bit of fog and wet roads. Here are some of the photos and videos from the trip. The footage is not terribly exciting but it was a great ride!

I just got my wife her very first bike!! It is a 1999 kdx 200! I couldn't be more excited. In doing some research I have found a few resources of information and here they are:

The kdx rider forum seems to have a wealth of information. I have not found a great site yet but these two give a fair amount of information.
