Oil change and Valve adjust

This past week I adjusted the valves on my KTM and I did an oil change.
Both jobs went without a hitch.

Tomorrow , Steve and I are headed out on our second annual motorcycle trip. I think that we are going to get as far as Grand Forks tomorrow. The second day (Sat) we will get as far as Nelson we hope. The third day (Sun) we will get back to Kelowna, via Mable Lake. To get ready for the trip I am going to put on my Metzlers,  and check the valves.

Which motorcycle


I am considering a new motorcycle. I had thought I had it narrowed down to a KTM 950 or a BMW 1200. But there is always the Suzuki V-strom to consider. The Suzuki is half the price of a BMW and apparently works as well?

TEST


This is a bit of a test that I am doing on Blogger

Monashee ride


Took a little ride through the Monahees. I stopped at a little lake that was part of a reststop












I crossed the Arrow Lake at Needles on a rope ferry.


















Just past Nakusp I came upon this nice
little waterfall at another reststop

Mabel Lake Ride


Sat after work I took a little trip to Mabel Lake to see Scott and his family. I saw some interesting rock formations on the way.











Scott has got a nice tent trailer.
Here it is hidden
in the trees alongside Mabel Lake.
