Good day. pointdexter and Doug went to Melfort area

Start of day got messed up a little. As i was ready leave the house i noticed back tire was flat and had a sharp spike stuck in tire.

So fixed the flat in 5min due to the wonderful Tubbliss system. And on the hwy i go. I blew by the rostern turn i was supposed to take. didnt notice till Duck lake so had to drive back.

Then not even 10min after we started riding i fell all the way in 1.5ft of water and bike on its side in water. good thing the air box side was up.

We Hit some cool trails all day.

Then i hear a little bit of tinging. thought it was just my front cables rubbing or something. Then we stop a bit later. Realize my rear axle nut is gone. Axle was just starting to come out. I tie wired it so it wouldnt come out. Rode the rest of the day no problem.

Drive home after a nice day so I thought. Passed a slow camper trailer and right after i passed him a cop hit me for speeding after i got back into the lane. Not sure what the rules are for speeding up to pass someone and getting a ticket for speeding.

Picked up a couple new nuts. Rev said you used to be able to use the Honda nuts that had lockwashers on them but not anymore.

So i drilled a hole and used stainless safety wire. will never have to worry about it again.

Thank god i didnt have the stock spacers on there or it would have fallen off too. Without that space theres nothing to hold the axle in place. Wheel would have been screwed to ride.

These trick spacer cant come off unless you remover the adjuster all the way out.

Changed oil and filter, Air filter, chain clean and lube. Ready to rock again! $\m/$

That's what happens when you ride all the time and never do any maintenance!

Plus it's a KTM ! Phhhhhh
