Although I am short on cash I decided to suck it up and pay the 250 because I really wanted to take the class. Well somehow my alarm clocked got messed up last night cause when I woke up my clock said 3:30am but the sun was out. Shit. So I get to class 30 mins late and they said I can't continue because they had already done the first exercise and would have to reschedule for another class. Shit.

I am very eager to learn proper riding techniques so I decided to teach myself until I can take the class again. I take the bike to our motorpool parking lot about a mile away. It's a very empty, very large parking lot, No cars were jumping out in front of me this time . Drove around for about an hour and stopped to take a break. It was just idling and then I thougth something burst cause green fluid start pouring out below the bike. I shut off the bike and it stopped. Waited a while and turned it back on and appeared to be nothing wrong.

I called the shop I had just picked it up from and told them I was bringing it in. Turns out They had put in too much coolant and it was just the overflow that came out . BUT after it idled for awhile the temp light come on and the temp was 252! F#%K! The radiator fan is shot. The casing around the fan is pushed up against the blades and shorted out the fan motor. Ugh, so now I get to wait for a new, prolly very expensive, fan before I ride again. Blasted, my weekend of riding was foiled again! Although, the ride to the shop was my first time off post with the bike, and I LOVED it! I can't wait to get it running smoothly
