More Mechanical Issues

After leaving Dallas, I headed south to Austin, Texas. Along the way, I noticed my bike was overheating more than usual, though it wasn’t anything too alarming at the time, so I figured I’d check it out the next morning. I rolled into the Firehouse Hostel, a cool spot housed in an old firehall from the 1800s. Met a few people, explored some cool bars, and had a good time. The next morning, when I took a look at my bike, I found a ton of metal shavings in the coolant system. I’m hoping it’s just the water pump that’s gone, but if not, things could get pretty grim. Looks like I’ll be sticking around Austin for a bit until I get a full diagnosis from a local mechanic. Not the worst place to be stuck though—Austin’s got a lot going on, and I’ve got a few comedy shows lined up for tonight, so I’m definitely looking forward to that!Læs mere
