1986 700 First Bike! =)
#18
noggy... LoL!
If you guys come, I will happily help out with whatever you need!
I have to go to your side of the world!!
Never been out of the Americas!

locksmith... yeah, 132 ltr tank... insane.
Yet I looove that pickup.
That's my old girl... never gives me trouble.
Plus she sounds awesome (Cummins 6cyl inline... all mechanical engine!)

Andybesy, the forums you guys have here are awesome!
I feel right at home!
Haven't posted more because last week at work was insanity x3.

Taylor,
You don't say man?!
Awesome!!
Next time anybody else comes along, please contact me or send them my way!
There are some awesome stuff to do!

About 3-4 weeks ago I re-visited one of our "bio-luminescent bays".
There are these microscopic lifeforms (don't know what they are) in the water.
When agitated, they flouresce (spelling?) a blue-ish hue (a la Avatar).
It's unreal... everything glows... the kayaks, the water breaking in front of them...
Everything glows when you "fall" into the water (fall, because you're not supposed to jump in).

Anyway, update on the bike!

I went riding early Sunday... it WAS AWESOME!!
Remember this is my first bike... so I'm taking it easy.
And early Sunday, not that many people on the roads.
Yet it was AWESOME!!
The feeling of the open road... and the connection with everything around you.
The air speeding around you... road underneath... scenary whisling by quickly.
Amazing.

I went around town, and just cruised up and down.
The most I did was a winding beach road up in the north of the island... did a short trip there.
Turned around, snapped one pic (beach looks awesome, my "artsy" motorcycle in the foreground didn't come out at all).
Then I headed back.

I was going to ask you guys:
Where should I post new threads about the bike?
Which section would she fall into?
Or should I post in General?

Thing is, I did some maintenance on her, and I have a couple of questions.
I changed the oil and filter... and the filter center bolt, one of its oil-flow holes "overlapped" the filter itself.
So I am thinking that oil will be by-passing the filter, as it will be the path of least resistance.
Not sure if it should be that way.

I replaced the spark plugs with new NGK ones (old ones looked good though!).
Drained the cooling system... refilled... etc etc

Thanks for everything guys!
Awesome to be here!!
=)
