The weather was crappy (raining & 5 degrees C) but had the day off so took my motorcycle to Phil Dickson's motorcycle shop P D Restoration for an overall checkup ie install new tires, rear brake pads & wheel balancers (Centramatic) ...

Also had cam tensioners checked, change plugs & changed transmission & primary oil. I had changed the motor oil/filter last fall, so it was ok.

Published web site today, hoo-ray!!  Three (3) months from  today, the journey will be in progress. I better get practicing with camcorder; tent setup; and ah yes the motorcycle needs a bit of work too!
