cherry blossoms?

[pay no mind to the busted-ass Triumph - it's off to the City fer fixin' today]

PSA - Spring is near

this is a public service announcement for riders in the 4 season regions that are diggin' out their ride from the back of the shed / garage / kitchen. Spring's about to be sprung and you'll need to get your ride(s) in shape. here's a friendly reminder to wrench BEFORE you ride. yeah, this means you. jot down this simple checklist and avoid around 90% of problems that'll put you on the side of the road faster than ..... [insert smarmy line here]

now, get to wrenchin':

change oil / filter

check plugs

add fresh gas and check / clean / replace fuel filter element

check chain alignment / tension

check motor and trans mount nuts / bolts

check exhaust bolts / flanges

lubricate grease zerk fittings

check tires / tire pressure - a sitting bike in cold temps can bleed air pressure

check wheels / spokes

check electric / ignition connections / battery - wipe down battery between posts the avoid current leaching and slowly draining the charge

grease / lubricate cables

check brake hoses / fluid levels

check bulbs, especially brake lights

and, finally - fix that pesky loose whatever that you've been putting off since last season!

see you on the road
