No fire ... yet.

For those of you who have been following the fires in So. Cal, we're about 5 miles from the Santiago Canyon fire. Santiago Canyon is home to one of the weekend ride destinations, Cook's Corner. We're not sure how it faired, but rest assured we'll find out. For the moment, we're fine and out of danger, being approx. 5+ miles from the fire line. Anything is possible, so we're keeping our eye on the news and watching the horizon for the smoke. The shop parking lot is covered in ash and we're hoping for some better weather in the days ahead. We'll keep you posted.

If you've ever wondered what the hell is going on with your engine while you're riding (driving) down the street, wonder no more. Here's the video:
