I got out yesterday with my buddy Randy. He's got three of them (85, 88 and a TZ copy IIRC)

Two different socket wrenches and then a breaker bar, as I said. It didn't budge and I had enough torque on it to do that to the bolt head.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I"m not sure how to proceed but I'll change what oil I can in it right now. I can say for sure that GP Bikes isn't going to be doing many more oil changes for me. Like I said, I had about 100ft/lb on that thing and it didn't budge, just ripped off the edges...

I did try that already, it's not going to hold. I think it'll need to be drilled out. And I need a replacement for sure.

I went to change the oil today in the Super Duke and one of the bolts for the oil change is on so @#$% tight that I stripped the bolt head - with a 13mm six-point Sears socket! The torque on this bolt is supposed to be 15ft/lb, not 115ft/lb and I'm worried about the threads when I do get it out...

People can change, I know YN certainly got his lesson. Now he regularly tells people not to buy fast bikes for their first one. But I dunno about Max. We'll see how he does but I suspect we'll see him doing dirty things. A leopard doesn't change its spots.

Here's the question that made me ask that one: why have the LPC and OLP not been howling about this publicly? They really haven't been. Their supporters sure have, but that's not the same thing.

I'm convinced that Ford has made some kind of deal with the Federal Liberals and they hatched some of these things together. That Spa is really, really dodgy.

I said the same thing. Went back and watched it - it has a few warts for sure but it watched a LOT better than I remembered it. Also, not taking away from Thunderdome, I enjoy the movie and I've seen it a few times. Road Warrior I am pushing well over 30 watches.

The best part of them are how amazing the filming is. Beyond Thunderdome didn't quite stand up to it but the rest are amazing. First 1080P movie I watched that had me up and trying to count the pebbles on the road.

I haven't seen season 7. Black Mirror is one I have to watch without the wife, she finds it wayyyy too disturbing. Which is perfect for beers and Sundays.

1960 watts of entertainment while I installed the heated comfort seat on the Super Duke and gave it a wipedown. The roads are wet, salty and sandy so this is the best I could do today. And yeah, I need to sell a bunch of old stuff I have from my rental properties that is doing nothing, the...

I have a silent crush on Mook. Don't tell the wife, lol No I mean, don't. Anyway now that Reacher is over and Wheel of Time is nearly impenetrable, I am kind of in a Blue Jays mode. There's a few decent but not notable movies around, but the wind has kinda left my sails on TV shows. On the...

Hells yes... $100 bought 77L of diesel fuel this time around. That's $.50-.55/L cheaper than it's been in a while.

I warned my wife when we leased a Taos last time that was black, that it would never look clean. She hadn't owned a black vehicle before. As you can see, the new GTI Performance is white. Once you own a black vehicle, you realise you're a slave to it if you want it to look nice. You wouldn't...

This year's driveway. Getting the KTM out shortly as the roads are less sandy here now, new heated comfort seat on it this year.

Rain, snow and hail here in the last hour. Waiting on frogs, locusts and brimstone.

Yep, that's the episode she noped out on. I watched the rest of that episode because I'm stubborn but at that point you know the last episode is going to be consequences.

I found this interesting and disturbing, but the wife couldn't sit for it once things got really heated.

Screw Wawanesa. They first dropped my 911 and then after a year they dropped my Super Duke. The car because "it has too much power" and the bike because "the engine is too large." Oh, and that's with no current speeding tickets on record or any loss of points. I was under the impression that...
