What did you do to your dirty bike today?

Love it!
Took awhile to get it set up to my liking, but no different than any other bike.
My last 450 was a Husaberg, the Honda's power is no where near as explosive.
The power's very smooth and linear, with very little vibration for a single.
We plan on hitting Hollister (If everything's open) on Sat, usually parked by the last outhouse on radio ridge. Your welcome to throw a leg over and take it for a putt.

Technically, this was yesterday...
I put the new Shinko 244 tires on the XR650L. They had already been installed on my spare rims. I was talking to my neighbor down the street, the one with the Weestrom, and mentioned that I would be installing my other tires on it. He said "what will that take, an hour or two?" and I said, "Nah, 20 minutes."
So I turned on the timer on my phone to find out just how long before doing anything more than checking the tire pressure on the new tires (which had sat for a month) to see just how quickly I could do it. This meant that the time included finding the tools and everything I needed plus getting it up on the stand. Of course, things didn't quite go well after I got it up on the dirt bike stand. It was off center and started falling off. Ended up on the garage floor. Picked it back up, put it back in place, more solidly this time, and went to work.
I also had to do the front wheel twice after leaving the spacer on the old wheel the first time. Even with the two screw-ups the timer showed 21:21 using only the tools that I always carry with me on the bike. I definitely could have done it in 20 minutes - maybe even 15 - if I hadn't screwed up.
Rode it around in the cold for about 15 minutes to sort of scrub in the tires. May have to go find some mud today.

Went for a ride, got stuck in the snow, repacked my horribly spooging silencer.

Epic dirt ride this weekend with some fellow barfers. Drove trucks down to Mojave and rode around Jawbone and Dove Springs, Red Rock Canyon and looped out to Randsburg and back. We did a little over 100 miles on the second day. Exhausting but seriously great riding. We had a group of seven riders 3 2t, and 4 4t bikes. Hopefully some of the others will post up some photos because I didn't take many.
I've decided that my ktm 200 is a keeper after this ride! Woot!

I had a fantastic time riding with you all! I'm glad the goat found room in your heart.
I can't believe how many miles we racked up the first day. Mad respect for those LAB2V riders.

Serviced the Honda today and found some extra air filter ...
Good thing Honda has a rat filter screen built in
You need to collect rent or serve the occupants with a 3 day notice.

Went for a ride. Fell down and dented the pipe here:
Took some pics.
Drained the warm spooge from the freshly packed silencer when I got home. There was a lot of it, even though I was on the gas more than usual.

I have a record number of hours on my transmission oil so I went to Walmart for a $13 gallon of Rotella T4. It's a diesel oil that's recommended by Rekluse, works well, and can be used in my WR450F as engine oil.
Right on the shelf next to it was this for $10.
That's one gallon for pennies more than the price of one liter of Bel Ray Gear Saver (the oil I use in my trials bike).
As pictured, I bought it home and put it in my YZ250. If the clutch grabs or slips, I'll post the video. If the transmission grenades, I'll post pics. But this might be the hot ticket for poor, unemployed dirt bikers.

Rode my dirty bike and washed it. But that leads me to this question for everyone here:
What sort of alternatives are there if you don't have a good place to clean up your bike after a muddy ride? I currently live in a single family house, but I'm looking to move and wondering how sucky it would be if I wound up in a townhome with only a garage but not acceptable place to hose down a bike.
