Day 2-still in New Mexico

Miles 0
Ttl miles 10

Day 2 was spent figuring out what parts may be needed and ordering them rush delivery from Max BMW in Nashua NH.
for those who are interested it is one of two seals, the more serious and time consuming main seal....or the oil pump o-ring gasket which is a 10 minute job, my feeling is the latter concidering the history of the bike and no recorded history of it ever being replaced in 28 years....rubber degrades.
The rest of the day was spent rebuilding a non respondant speedo...not hard if you have time on your hands, wiring up my gps and heated gear harness, as well as fixing some minor wiring issues.
We went to an actual Harbor Freight store, oh WOW that was cool, too bad I was not picking up a truck or I would be bringing a lot more junk back. Did get a chamois cloth to use as fork gaitors till I can replace the dry rotted rubber ones that I removed.

Dinner tonight was a pre-dinner ale by the fire, followed by very good veggie chili, chips, blueberry pie and chased by a bit of Jaegermeister(will be getting some for the bar.) at the end.

Dinner was followed by a soak in the jacuzzi and then to bed.

Life is good, even if your bike is in pieces :)
