I changed the oil in the fall and had new oil ready to go so figured i should empty it out and see what I could see. Thats when I remembered my bike has an oil filter, my wifes doesnt and well I mix that stuff up a lot. I noticed the oring on the cover is mashed pretty flat and there is signs some gasket sealer was used in the past. last year I just put it back on and seemed ok but think the gasket is done, as is the filter.
This is now like 5:30 and I wanted the bike to ride today so called around and the closest parts dealer had both the filter for $5 but the cover oring for $4, sounds great and they are open till 7. Its litterally 20 minutes away (not in traffic) but as expected took closer to an hour and a half to get there, oh and this was in the car with the kids in the back. I told them if they did good I would take them out for diner after the parts store.
Well when I get there I open the door, check my pockets to see if I had my wallet... I didnt, checked the car, nothing, then it hit me... its still in the driveway in my motorcycle jacket. Ok well maybe my wife can phone them in her card and pay that way, I call but she was still in class. My brother came for the ride, he had his wallet but no cards and no cash.
So after all that we drove another hour home in traffic, fed the kids and called it a night. I got to go back again tonight, and I will be sure to have my wallet on me this time.
