Men at work

So, saturday morning I woke up early, and among the other 1000 things I had to do I managed to service my bike.
Fresh Motul 300V 15W50, 4 new CR9E NGK sparkplugs, brand new oil filter and K&N cleaning & oiling.
Test rode the bike (some 8km) and even popped 1st wheelie of the season (on a motor bike... on the mountain bike I lost count...)

Afterward I loaded the bike onto the van and drove it to my friend's workshop.
Left the bike there for the following:
  1. carburettors alignment
  2. valves adjustment checkup
  3. brand new chain+sprockets
  4. whatever
I plan to get on the serious riding by mid april. If season will be as warm as it's promising to be, you better follow this blog, because there will be plenty to post about.

stay tuned, rev up

Step ahead & CdT 2009 day

Ordered OIL & whatever I need to service the old lady.
Agreed with workshop for a new chain + set of sprockets.

And we got a date (which can change still, but won't be much earlier nor much after this):

June 23rd 2009

Route will be basically 2008 one, with few changes. Details in next weeks.

Wake up call

Been a WARM weekend.

I went riding my mountain bike on saturday. Mostly dirt riding.

Weekly forecast is positive.

Time to wake up. Time to order parts I need and get the bike ready for the season....

How much for a new chain & sprockets set ? :-)
