I was really thinking you would go with 0W-20 motor oil:)

You guessed wrong. Too bad. Lose game.

I don't gamble, either. Riding a motorcycle in modern traffic is enough of a gamble.

Lube everything.

I lubed everything except the tires and belt drive.

Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

I wiped WD-40 on it. Very shine.

Replaced the sprockets & chain - went with black & gold for some visual pop.


My SIL picked this up this Svartpilen last week and it's parked in my garage for a short while. Very cool bike.

I need any garage. I'm going to build a motorcycle garage in my new back yard. Don't have room for a car garage.

Nah, Jeep can live outside. I just want a shed for SAVAGE, BLOWER, and my home tools.

SAVAGE is great for my 1-mile commute to work. But what about highway trips?

Another V-Strom 650?
Or bigger?
Vulcan 1500?
FJR1300?
Goldwing?
Concours?
CB500X?

Ok, Honda NC750X. Final decision.

Okay, Suzuki V-Strom 650, just because I will have two Suzuki 650s.

Next week, all week, is motorcycle weather. It looks like I'll be parking the gas hog Jeep for a little bit.

I have $600 in parts on order from the UK for the Tiger. I'm replacing a couple transmission gears and shifter components due to premature wear causing 2nd gear pop-out. Seems to be an issue with both the Explorer & Trophy, same 1215cc drivetrain.

Hopefully it's not too difficult a job - the transmission is a cassette-type so I don't have to disassemble much to access it. But that's a lot of little parts to keep organized lol
