Did an oil change on the bike, Dannenberg style. That is, go to Walmart and buy oil, a funnel and an oil pan.
Go park near the lube bay.
Drop the oil into the pan, take it to the lube bay and they happily add it to their recycle container. Give them the pan, then refill the bike. Might sound extravagant chucking away the pan and funnel, but they were no more than three dollars all up and the oil here is less than half the price we pay at home.
Next change, we will do a filter as well.
Then we searched a couple of tyre stores for some new 8" tyres for the trailer, but they all want to get them in "in a couple of days". No good to us. We'll get some up the road a ways.
Found a car wash and gave BRed a tub so now he looks shiny clean.
Spent the rest of the day relaxing and having tea and drinkies with the crew.
Tomorrow they pick up their bikes from Eagle Rider. I can tell you there are a couple of grown men here who are acting like kids on Christmas Eve. Can't blame them. But naturally, I've been ribbing them that Eagle Rider will be all out of Goldwings and they will have to make do with Harleys. They won't know for sure until tomorrow.
By the way, they are both doing blogs, so there will be at least three perspectives on this part of the trip.
