Leaving the girlfriend behind while the stripping goes on.....
Thnks Pandy.  Our stands just arrived but they don't fit very well in a backpack.  It'll give me a fun moto project since I don't have those 'carb' things anymore...

jbeaber made an excellent suggestion:

If anyone has a Chatterbox, bring it! Several of us are hooked up!  :icon_mrgreen:

I'll probably be by in the morning (9-10ish) to hang out and maybe lend a hand if needed.  Depending on how much time I have tomorrow, I might chase down an oil filter but we'll see how motivated I am to get to the shop.

After this morning's weather report, I hope the weather stays nice   :bowdown:

thanks but I just went by SC Accesories and got a oil filter/oil/spark plugs  :thumb:
I got a free (orange) Repsol shirt since I bought a gallon of Repsol.  While supplies last!!!  :icon_mrgreen:

Rain doesn't really bother me so I still plan on coming.  If it does rain hard, I might decide against doing the oil change because it sucks to change oil when there's rain falling in the catch tray ;)

oh, and the umbrella can go over me  :flipoff: :icon_twisted: :laugh:

o yeah, I shot down the three little nut things on the oil filter cover today with some liquid wrench.  Hopefully everything will come loose ok.  ...don't be hamfisted... ...don't be hamfisted... ...don't be hamfisted...   :nono: :)

Cool.

In that case, Pandy, can I change my oil while I'm waiting in between carb synchs?

Sweet!  I'll torque the oil cover nuts for us both, though.  :icon_lol:

Man, I'd totally come and hang out if my knee weren't messed up right now.   :mad:

Any chance we can organize a valve adjustment day next month...?  :icon_mrgreen:

no... seriously...  please?  :bowdown:  :icon_razz:

Welcome!

Um...I've already booked up all my weekends next month, I might be able to squeeze you in July.  Valve adjustments are to be done when the bike is cold, so I have to come to you.

Thanks!  This forum rocks!  I've been reading it for a few months now, but don't know enough to post most of the time...   :dunno_white:

Really? That'd be awesome Scratch, I've been wanting to learn how to adjust the valves, i'd really appreciate the help.  :thumb:

Well....darnit....I was hoping you'd be slaving away rubbing my shoulders in between syncs....*sigh* (And of COURSE you can!)  :laugh:


Everyone just needs to make sure they clean up any spills or mess, or I'll be sleeping outside after tomorrow....   ;) :icon_mrgreen:
