Loaded up and ready for crating tomorrow.

I was getting nostalgic looking at her again.

Man, I've had her a LONG time.

Don't worry, Nut - you're baby will be fine when you pick her up in TX. :wink:

That IS where she's headed, right?

Yup. Good ole TX. I stripped the oil drain bolt too :x Been wrenching since 1979 or so, and this is the ONLY bolt I have stripped. Really pisses me off. I guess tons of oil changes later, the threads had had enough (this is an '85 motor). Came out of a bike that was wrecked in Canada while being chased by the police. You can tell what kind of life that poor bike led before I got the motor. I'll fix it there. I am pulling the motor out for servicing anyway.

Oil line bolts on the old GSX-Rs are real bad too. Magnesium valve covers lend themselves to that. They just about always fail with regular use. I have had every valve cover of mine heli-coiled at some point.

That's real purdy, 'nut. Good luck with the transfer.

Hey Nut. Don't they make the attachment like they do for cars that let you drain oil like you're disconnecting an air hose. Y'know, pull the brass sleeve one direction and oil drains. Push it the other way and it closes? I know they make 'em for cars.

If it was made, I wouldn't use it. It isn't a big deal. I'll fix it later.

I was just curious. I'd like to get on for my bike when I get it.
