I just bought one from Leo's south for $4.80, with tax.  The guy said they try to keep 5-10 in stock, I was pretty surprised

I have bought the Suzi ones, but usually buy the green HiFlo at Midwest Cycle Supply.

They're exactly the same price as the auto parts store ones, and may be higher quality.

I haven't found anyplace with the copper oil plug washer in town, so I'm still using what was on the bike when I bought it.

Checker sells them I believe I bought the 14MM copper washers for like $3, in fact I have like 3 left so if you want one or two they are all yours  I  mean I change my oil once a year so the chance that I will have these this long is rare.

Thanks for the offer; may take you up one a couple. 

BTW, today was the wettest ride I have ever done: wind blowing water so hard that one side of my face-shield was just a wavy puddle of water.  It looked like there was water inside the wheel, except that I didn't take the time to look and be sure.   I really should have zipped up all the airflow vents in my suit before I left work!

I was expecting a soaking today, but I missed almost all of the rain

A few weeks though ago I got very wet when I got caught in a downpour.  I guess I missed a bunch of hail that day... but it made for a fun commute home

Hang around for a little bit, any one up to get a drink(in the varity of soft or a(1) beer) at Bryant Lake Bowl?

Sorry, a vendor was buying beer :cheers: , so... maybe next month (if we have a sunny day).
I ride until Thanksgiving, so I'll still be out.

It's almost First Thursday again, well a week away.  I figured I'd give a little more advance warning this month cause I remembered it earlier.  Not even sure if I can make it, but I probably will.  At this moment, TWC says the weather should be ok, but we'll see what happens

Aaron, hope your having fun with your track mods/maintenance


For anyone else who might show up:
Weather looks pretty good, I'll probably get there around 5:30 after work and hang around til 7 or so, depending on how many bikes there are to look at.  I won't have my cell phone so let me know ahead of time if you want to find me... I'll be wearing my black JR textile jacket and probably khakis

I just read a web-page
http://www.motorbyte.com/norton/1st_thurs.htm
that seems to claim that the Dulono's First Thursday meetings started-out as meetings of the Twin Cities Norton Owners Club, who finally abandoned it because it got too big!
