100.000 miles from home

[Jacobus De Bruyn]

Yes, I think I will average out abt. 7000 yearly too. So 100K is way off, perhaps I was thinking 100.000 kilometer, which is abt. 60 K miles. The dirt bikes do a cylinder job, and then install a slightly bigger piston and rings. But they are aircooled, so probably more wear and tear through the thinner, hotter oil. With all the oil studies you can find, I think the way you use your engine could be as relevant as the oil you use. And how often do you change the oil, etc. Anyhow, it will take me another 5 years to get to the sixty thousand mark, damn thing might well outlive me! Trade it in for a wheelchair would be another option. Yes, it is an interesting experience to be under it, with a leg pinned, and the engine hot. I think it happened two times. I have been able to get it up by myself, because there was no one around. It is surprising how resourceful one becomes when there are no other options. But not with luggage on it. But a helping hand is mostly very welcome, as it can take some time and about 125% of my strength to get it up. How I get hold of 125% of my strength is still a mystery, probably cussing and getting extremely mad helps. The handlebar leverage seems to be the way most rugged riders agree upon, a stick of dynamite is the other way. A few reindeer pulling in the right direction...? Try not to fall.

The extention spring on my Doo reached its limits. When switching to the torsion spring is there a need to change the Doo also ? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?
