At least they give their phone number. Presumably, one could call and ask where they are.

Can we assume it is somewhere along Hwy 58?

Yup




I don't know who it was that posted an interactive Google Map on this website a little while ago, but I would love to learn how to do it with this forum software.

Basically 2 days. The 3rd day will be a quick run home.

And THANK YOU Jean for the great hint on cardboard for working on your knees!

I lubed my chain for the first time. Still undecided on the bike-mounted chain luber.

I will be getting one of these for the Bandit...

I just did a chain and sprockets change last week. The original sprockets and chains where on the bike. They lasted 44k kms. I replaced them as the chain had developed a tight spot.

Once installed you won't have to work on your knees anymore. At least not to service your chain. To be able to clean and re- lube your chain at will is a great thing. Say you encounter some rain; with a chain luber you just add some lube, no getting on your knees. No stopping. No getting dirty. Tis a no brainer. Like the heated grips. You'd be hard pressed to find a new BMW without heated grips. Do you think BMW might know a little something about touring bikes?

So where is the button you press on this thing to feed oil to the tube, ZM? Up on the handlebar?

The ones I have you just squeeze the bottle and it fills a vented chamber so you always get the same amount of oil. Loobman recommends plain engine oil rather than some "special" proprietary lubricant. I keep the bottle as close to the chain as possible so the oil gets to the sprocket sooner. With your totally awesome computer skills, you will be able to blow up this pic of my Shitzuki and see the bottle attached behind the rear passenger peg mount. The new design uses a button rather than a sqeeze bottle. A full bottle will last months. The installation is easy but not for fools, after all there will be oil heading towards the rear wheel. With a careful tested fitting I have had no problem on 3 motorcycles.

Also behold the Yuasa Battery analyzer. $10. It is mounted to the bottom of the passenger footpeg mount with double sided tape. hooks directly to your battery, Makes maintenance a snap.

With a touch of a button you can check the state of your battery. When running you can check if your charging system is working. You can connect a charger to keep your battery up without any disassembly. You can connect your heated vest to it.
