Glad you guys like it. I double-checked it against a calibrated infrared temp gauge I had, and it's pretty accurate. You can't quite make it out in the photo, but it's reading near 100F, and that's in the shade. Been pretty toasty here this week.

So i was on my way the walk in clinic and i pulled into a turn lane and this bike cop that drove by flipped a uey, or at least tried. He ended up dumping his bike and almost causing an accident. Pretty pathetic, i kept driving around the corner to proceed to the clinic and at about 50 yards from the parking lot here comes the cop. So i pull into the parking space and my dad hops out and goes inside. The cop comes up to my window and i asked if he was alright and he begins to tell me how the lady in the lane next to me almost killed him because she didn't stop for him while he was in the TURN LANE not her lane. Well anyways he tells me the usual no mud flaps and i need wider fender flairs also that i need working turn signals even though i used legal hand signals i was still being illegal by not using light turn signals WTF is the point in learning how to use hand signals if they are "ILLEGAL" then after that he tries to tell me i didn't stop when he put on his lights even know his bike was on the ground and my left turn light was green and for all i know he was pulling the guy in front of me over. To top it off after i gave him my liscence and whatnot he says he got another call and had to leave. He didn't even tell me to get those things fixed or anything. Probably had to run hope to change his undies after dumping his bike. Never have i seen a cop with such unprofessionalism.... at least i didn't get a ticket and got to watch a show.

Not that we are not willing to answer your question but what your asking belongs in tech.

Spotted a rapid leak coming from the seal on the part the oil filter screws onto.
Did a quick oil & filter change.
Now clean oil is oozing out of the top of that seal, running down and dripping from the filter.
My valves are rattling, but this will have to wait until after the butt-lift at the body shop from where I got hit 2 months ago.
My mechanic is not going broke this year!
