Just wait till it is warm enough and dry enough for a ride up to Lilloeet and enjoy the bike's abilities on the road. A lot of the road north of Pemberton was resurfaced recently.

Qasual - Ooohhh, sounds great. I think I prefer to go 200+ on the track and if I bail it will be a little more safe on the track.

The track is the only place to bail if you have to do a get off. The GZ might surprise you on the track but don't get run over by the fast guys. Lynda enjoyed pushing her GZ through the twisties once she learned to trust counter steering.

Cathy never really learned how to ride a bicycle (lol) so hopefully teaching her counter-steering is easy since she did not learn the wrong way with a bicycle first.hahaha.

Get a copy of Proficient Motorcycling. It has a very good explaination of counter steering and why it works on any 2 wheeler.

Qasual - I think I have Full throttle laying around somewhere in my room and we watched Twist of the wrist together. School is going to help a ton though.

On topic; planning to winterize the GZ. Got some Rotella T6 and OEM filters ready, just gotta find my brush for the chain and also adjust it. Oh yeah and a clotter pin.

Yeah....but but winter is almost over.

Watch the oil usage with the T6. It may or may not use oil so be on your toes. In the future you can get Hi Flo HF-136 oil filters for less and they are the same thing minus the Suzuki name.

Qasual - Hahaha yeah that was me getting a filter for Cathy's bike.

On topic: I told Cathy to read up more on the forum and the service manual so we can be prepared for next season. Also I didn't actually pick up my obe piece race suit because I didn't have the funds yet. Next week for sure !
