Poured a can of Seafoam in the tank, then had to go clean the injectors  
Nothing like taking the long way to work, took me two hours to get through that tank Bigok

On Sunday night I adjusted the valves on the Concours (most of the inlets were tight - that's a new one). Did it in three hours this time, which is not bad.

Yesterday I made a new valve cover gasket for the Ural with a sheet of rubberized cork material, using the broken gasket pieces as template. No leaks so far . . . well, other than the usual ones. Lol

Took it for a ride in an afternoon monsoon.  Found out that the V-Strom can puddle jump very well!  Is it bad that I thought doing this was fun??   Lol

I would post pics but I cant shrink them enough to get em by...suffice to say this thing will look just like a new 1979 model...I can't wait to get some fuel in it and go for a ride......
\
I'm sure we'd all love to see the pics.  Use http://www.tinypic.com/ to host them, it can auto-resize them to something smaller (just change the "default" to something like the 1024x768 setting).  

Better yet, set up a free account on www.photobucket.com or www.flickr.com.

Flickr works well for me. I usually hit 'Show all sizes' and then post the medium one. It's 500 pixels on the long dimension. Big enough to see clearly but small enough that you don't have to scroll to see the whole thing.


And to keep it on topic: I met a few fellow ST.Ners and added about 140 miles to the odometer today.
