Best

Engine oil, oil filter, oil filler cap AND (though hardly visible and an upskirt wouldn’t impress you) magnetic oil drain plug. Seriously, best in class, single cylinder engines rev high, have very little oil to work with, and can run hot (partly due to revs, depends on speed, not all coolants are created equally)

I have the best antifreeze to put in, but still dealing with Bangor Pooter Sports for the coolant drain washer replacement. They pretty much suck hardcore, and I’ll be taking my business elsewhere. I get the feeling they don’t care…

Also best in class, SNELL certified (best protection rating) dual purpose helmet, at half price, amen eBay…

It’s not the lightest ADV helmet, but I dare you to find a bad review! This is my fourth SHOEI, not only do they fit fit my head perfectly, they are (kid you not) hand made in Japan. The box says “safety helmet”.

Nuff said.

Packing, LET’S RIDE!!! (Oh, I have a Sunday night reservation at Hills Creek State Park Campground outside Mansfield PA and free midweek parking for Hedwig and trailer. Motocamping shakedown, BDR prep 101, going live)
