Yesterday we went on a day-long scenic tour of North-Central PA. The nearly 400-mile trip was organized by the local PCA. Great time!

Changed the oil today. Didn`t need to be changed, only had approx. 4900kms on the oil, but I received the magnetic oil drain plug that I order about 2 weeks ago last week and I`ve been dying to open up the oil filter to inspect. No steel shavings in the oil filter or in the oil :dance: . I can sleep good this winter

Picked up a Ben's Short shift kit. Will install as part of the winter hibernation upgrading cycle. I've heard good things!

I replaced spark plug tubes on the Black 2000. One had started leaking so bad that was dripping oil onto the exhaust.


..Then went for a nice drive to make sure there were no more leaks.

I made all my pistons 1540 grams



Then I dropped the pistons in the holes.
