The V-Strom is back and it can see again. I can see again. People can see me again. What a relief. Now I don't have to risk death daily. Well, risk of death is somewhat diminished anyhow.

But still no rear tire. The parts department at CalCoast Motorsports sucks dismally. Long story short, the rear tire was placed on reorder a couple days ago and ought to be here by the end of next week. Till then, it's inflate it daily and don't stress it too much...I was down to 9.5 psi this morning in the carport. A flattish tire does really funky things to the handling *shiver*.
