so, on this very wet Sunday, when the planned bike ride was brought to a sudden halt due to the rain i decided to have a chat about the oils used on my Himalayan chain and engine
All bikers I swear are weather twitchers Colin,😂 well I have been for the last 40 odd years 🙄🌧lol agree with what you say re the bike maintenance, quality oil is essential and silkolen in my opinion is one of the best and ran it in all our Ducati’s, and like you I gen halve the change times, especially like you said if you have big trips planned, my classic has had 3 changes in 4500km, biggish singles do tend to beat the oil up a bit. We have had a broken cloudy day and very warm, until a couple of hours ago when we got your rain 🌧 lol, glad to see you in your lidle trews as well been in mine most of the day lol, Bon nuit moi ami (ask one of the kids ! Lol) …..Pete
Agree on the oil change more often…as long as we do ourselves its low cost . We got plenty of rain yesterday at the bike event i photographed and I was freezing sleeping in the van after walking around for hours in wet shoes. Our nearest Lidl is 100km away and i passed on the way home today ….i wished you posted this Friday 😅 i would have known to have stopped and got some of their chain lubricant, ohh some big trips coming up soon Colin 😮 i look forward to seeing some video updates ….Harry
TOO HOT to ride far over here! 40c and counting, hope you get a break in the weather soon mate, we just ride a few K's to do some essentials, and BEER! Cheers, DINO et la Famile.
