Getting It Ready For Mexico*

[Pterodactyl_imp]

Oil and filter change. Spark plug change. Flush and refill rear brake fluid. Check chain adjustment and lube chain. Lubricate all pivot points. Check and adjust tyre pressures. Fit OEM rear rack. Increase front and rear shock preload.

Re-route iPhone audio control cable under the fuel tank and fit cable end stowing points for when not in use.

Pack camping gear.

A short ride latter this afternoon and then fill the tank for an early start tomorrow morning. Weather forecast good. Bike good.

And we HAVE A PLAN.

Cheers

*Mexico, Australia. Sometimes known as Victoria.

Ptero.. Getting ready for PI? Should be awesome. What a race this year.

Is this your first set of replacement plugs?

I'm leaving for the Island on Thursday.
I have no plan, other than a brew at Mirboo North on the way.

Have a safe trip Ptero and enjoy. PI looks stunning on TV coverage, perhaps one of the most beautiful tracks on the Motogp circuit. Lots of photos please.

Yes Ferret, they looked OK but I changed them anyway.

Am posting from Cooma. Despite yesterday's forecast it rained like blazes for the first three hours of a six hour ride. The Frog Togs I bought in Atlanta, GA worked well. Once off the coast and up on the Monaro high plains the weather fined up. A good feed, a cold beer and a warm bed is in order.

Cheers, and thanks everyone for your good wishes.

Have a great trip, mate. Keep remembering the month of riding this time last year and thinking I should be doing it again!
