87770km

The final countdo.. erm.. drive!

I wanted last year to change the oil in my final drive... The shaft has made a small sound when accelerating, so I thought that a change was in order!

No big suprise: it was!!! HIGH TIME!

Just look at that colour! Horrible, yucky colour. I ran a magnet through it, to look for metal pieces, but luckily there were none.

This is a bit of new oil dashed into the old:


A tiny difference, wouldn't you say? I think an oil change of the engine is VERY due also. The guy I bhough the bike from claimed he changed all fluids summer 2009.. I am getting doubts!

Happy easter!

Winter upd.. NO WAY! SPRING!!!

Today spring REALLY hit Norway!

18c and the most perfect driving conditions this spring.. A bit of gravel here and there, but nothing much!

My friend, Alex, helped me get my baby out from storrage today. First push on the button, a bit of coughing and she started beautifuly. Sweetest sound I've heard in months!

My new leather jacket was lovely to ride in. As was my new helmet... And I MUST say: What an amazing helmet! Light, quiet and with superb sound in the SRC-system.

There will be a post on the helmet later, it deserves it!

Why are you reading this? Go out and ride your motorbike!!!
