I still don't know quite what to do with myself at home and at work. Funny.
Meanwhile I ride my MP3 500 everywhere now. it's a good deal faster than the GT, from all perspectives. I also notice that I have no concept of how fast I'm going in city. That's unfortunate, and something I need to keep an eye out for. Quite a hassle.
Jess came in to town after trucking the GT back from Maryland. We loaded it off, and I took a moment to inspect the GT's rear wheel situation. It's bad. Oh lord is it bad. I'm surprised. At the very least I think the hub's shot. There may also be an issue with the brake. I know I'm going to be taking the thing apart soon, and it'll be probably a solid month before I can get it rideable, assuming that the variator is just fine and there's nothing wrong with the crank shaft splines on either the clutch or the variator. Gah.
I've got some more pictures I'm going to upload, along with some videos. I just don't have the time at present to do these things. Hopefully should get to it some time this weekend.
More later, of course.
