bike update

apparently I need to fire my old mechanic...
the new mechanic found a sundry of
neglected items that the old mechanic was
going to get to this spring but instead drank
beer and annoyed the wife & kids....

the new mechanic calls and explains details
like when you wash the bike you need to
remove the left side cover.. incase water gathers
in there to make things rusty near the crank
seal..<YIKES>... I now have a different procedure
for post ride cleanup...

off to drink some beer & check the surveillance
equipment at one of my companies
john
only working 1/2 days now (6am-6pm)

And to think some folks scoff at the wisdom of my bikes oil-filled
stator-cover.

I take off that cover once a year for inspection, and coating with WD40.
