How it started: How it's going: Funny story - apparently those spark plug covers with the "4 Valve" silver lettering have been out of production for years and you can only get reproductions with no lettering or black lettering. I knew I needed a set way back when I first bought them and grabbed them on an e-bay auction randomly only because I thought they looked better than the plain ones. I didn't realize I was grabbing something made of unobtanium.

* Anyone remember me!? Been almost 2 years since I visited and posted. Life is short and unpredictable; treasure every moment. I logged into social media Saturday afternoon (09.14.2024) for the 1st time in over a year and quickly discovered a few more friends had died. One in particular from my "heart circles", Lorraine, was 1 of the 1st to meet up with me after Dan's death because she knew we'd be laughing hysterically as usual from our conversational topics; laughter was surely needed. Another, Rich, from my automotive and Route 66 circles, had shown me his 1973 Monte Carlo he bought brand new when I visited him the 1st time during my 2009 Route 66 road trip (15 years ago now); at the time, it was in his barn and covered in dust, but he'd recently gotten it out and I never had a chance to see it in person.

Yes!

It has more to do with the fact that BMW chooses to make its saddles out of cement, so much so that an entire cottage industry has cropped up to address the issue with more comfortable foam. That said, I’m not willing at this time to spend $800 for a new saddle. Did a valve adjustment. I also replaced the valve covers, valve cover gaskets, and spark plug covers. It looks like I should probably do spark plug wires, but it’s not yet urgent. I think these plugs, like the battery was, are original. The bike is 25 years old and has 108k miles. Ready for a test ride, it got its first drink in who knows how many years. Ran perfect for the 6 mile trip. Once I get it home from Costco, I’ll let it cool 20 minutes and then change the oil, transmission oil, and rear drive oil. The oils in these is thick and needs to be warmed up to drain properly.

Emotionally I am so there with you. Sierra Hull, I love her music.
