ride Jan 16 2010

BLIZANTHIMUM · 01-15-2010, 08:25 PM

meet at gowen chevron @ 1300 leave at 1315.
hoping to reach IC but may only make it to the marina above lucky peak.
speed limit ride.

scharf2u · 01-16-2010, 06:32 AM

Sounds good to me. There will be LOTS of sand between lucky peak and IC.

Gem STate ST · 01-16-2010, 07:09 AM

I will pass on all the sand.Would rather ride from Kuna-Melba-Walters Ferry-Grandview and back.Lots less sand on this route except by the park in Melba.

scharf2u · 01-16-2010, 09:00 AM

That would be a better ride. What do you think Bliz?

BLIZANTHIMUM · 01-16-2010, 09:05 AM

sounds good to me. so 1300 at the kuna chevron then?

scharf2u · 01-16-2010, 09:10 AM

Works for me.

Gem STate ST · 01-16-2010, 09:51 AM

In

Matt · 01-16-2010, 10:50 AM

I'd love to get the bike out, but we have too much stuff to do today

I'm gonna try to at least spin mine around the block later though Haha!

Exitwounds · 01-16-2010, 10:55 AM

How far is the ride?

Gem STate ST · 01-16-2010, 11:15 AM

Around 130 miles round trip from Kuna.

loopy · 01-16-2010, 11:34 AM

raining in nampa

BLIZANTHIMUM · 01-16-2010, 11:35 AM

its getting wet here too and my vaginitis is flaring up.

loopy · 01-16-2010, 11:42 AM

well i went for a 20 mile trip around nampa and well needless to say yes a very bad case of sand in the pink taco not to mention on the roads made me think it needs to be another 30 plus degrees warmer

for all that go have fun for me im staying home and well removing sand lol

Gem STate ST · 01-16-2010, 11:43 AM

Radar map shows it passing thru slowly.Sucks as I can't ride on Sun.

loopy · 01-16-2010, 11:44 AM

i know i just looked at accuweather.com !!! lame rain

Gem STate ST · 01-16-2010, 11:47 AM

Am officially out.

Exitwounds · 01-16-2010, 11:59 AM

I just went to change my oil and discovered a potential problem. When I popped the oil filter off, about a cup of oil spilled out.....that's it.

I turned the bike on right before I popped the filter to get the oil warm, so I am hoping that its all just trapped in the top of the block and draining down. It started to dribble on and off while I was sitting there, but idk. Going back to check it in an hour.....god I hope it wasn't low....window was fine when I looked last.....

I also broke one of the pop screws.....Suzuki fairings are a nightmare to remove. Its gonna be a good day.

scharf2u · 01-16-2010, 12:11 PM

Same problem as Bliz. New Bike still shiny has not seen the rain yet I'm out.

BLIZANTHIMUM · 01-16-2010, 12:14 PM

im out too.

you shouldnt get much outta the oil filter area since its higher than the oil level would be.
i always drain the oiil first then change the filter

Exitwounds · 01-16-2010, 12:20 PM

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW.

Apparently its been to long since I have done this....I didn't even pull the plug on the oil pan, I just popped the filter thinking that it was how you drained the oil.

I don't even know what to say at this point.

loopy · 01-16-2010, 01:06 PM

put the tools down and step away from your bike lol before

you do more damage lol

Too late.

Rokkit_Science · 01-16-2010, 05:30 PM

It wasnt raining at my casa so I took the litre trash out for a cruise, it was pouring in Kuna, go figure. Cold didnt bother me, but could have done without the rain and my visor fogging up!!

katnip · 01-16-2010, 06:24 PM

I always drain the oil first then take the filter off when I change my car oil...isnt that how you do it for everything

I always do too, I was just having one of those days I guess. That was beyond embarrassing.

e11charlie · 01-16-2010, 08:52 PM

No you pull the filter raise up the rear end to let it drain. Then you raise the front to pour in the oil before putting the new filter back on. Everyone knows that. What is this drain plug yall are talking about?

Thx Eric, you made my day

p.s. It happens to the best of us

HaVocX · 01-17-2010, 11:52 AM

...Nice!

Exitwounds · 01-17-2010, 05:44 PM

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers guys, I got the oil changed. Removing the oil pan bolt makes it exponentially easier.

And make sure, if your aired up your tires last fall, that you take that air out and put spring air in!! Fall air is denser than spring air and really focks things up!!
