It's actually pretty dirty. Only has 1000km on it though so give me time ;)

Lightcycle and google advise there’s a common occurrence with the water pump hose clamp not tightened enough from factory and causing leaks. Unfortunately to get to it you really need to pull the tank. Well at least now I know how to do that (coles notes: lotsa screws). That clamp got tightened...

Well rain washed it away and after letting the bike sit overnight there’s a small puddle of coolant forming in the pan so that answers that question. I’ll pull some panels and see if it’s just a clamp that requires tightening or if it’s more serious and needs a warranty repair.

My house is 3yrs old and I repointed some bricks last year. It isn't difficult to do yourself.

Started raining before I could try the clean test. I put some paper towel on it but couldn’t get enough on it to get a smell. Would rain clean it from the driveway if it’s coolant?

New bike, was thinking maybe they put too much oil/coolant in at pdi. Thanks I’ll take a look at those. Thing is, they all mention seeing a leak/puddle or coolant in bottle dropping and I don’t have that. Mine’s at full mark which makes me wonder if it just puked out a bunch from the overflow...

Rode to Millbrook today and found they’re filming next season of Reacher there.

Spent an hour trying to track down what my bike dropped from the skidplate. Oil and coolant both on full marks and I haven’t added any since I picked it up from dealer. Did 300km two days ago in the dry so it isn’t water from washing. Nothing on garage floor. Pushed it out into driveway, idled...

I found the heat was radiating from the exhaust header. Swap that and it's fine. I'm a few inches taller than you and don't find them cramped and could ride one all day. Still not touring comfy in my getting-old mind but not terrible. I'd have one in the garage if I had more time to use it.

Looks fun. I haven't seen her in anything besides Derry Girls. Shogun finale was terrible imo.

Thanks, added that loop to my list to try.

350km today, mostly away from tarmac. Upper Cordova Falls Taking trails from Cordova to Marmora located a dirtbike track and did a few laps. A quick stop at the old Marmora mine.

I’ve had people show up in a rented van and then ask me to strap the bike down inside it for them as they don’t know how. I’ll take a buyer with a dirty trailer any day.

Tis the season for small furry creatures digging up my lawn for grubs. Lost about a half acre of grass. I put down Scott’s grub killer but I’m not sure if it did much. I re-homed a skunk Friday but another furry was back at the lawn last night. Maybe try nematodes next year.

Bought some Dunrobin Canadian whiskey on a flyer the other day as I like to have new random whiskeys for company to try. It’s kinda blech. It’s only slightly higher priced than typical Forty Creek stuff but not nearly as drinkable.
