Ride to McMinnville, change tires, ride back, change oil

The day has a huge success. We found a bug in the water jug holder design on the Smax, fixed it, changed all the tires, Armando is great to work with. Then rode back, changed oil in both bikes, ate leftover chili and ice cream, then debugged charging an iPhone on the motorcycles. Ugg, I hate Apple products and their f*cking walled garden where you have to use their charging protocol.

Note that I turned off the fuel petcock on the Smax at 120 miles since last fillup. I turned on the fuel petcock on the TNT at the barn after the gas gauge started bouncing, close to 70 miles since last fillup IIRC.





Ride to the barn, change tires, ride back to the Chalet (recording is just the return route)
