  I have plans for the rest of the winter. GB is explaining how he can get me to IN and I can come and spend the winter visiting you and living the life style of a IN resident, and just sit around and watch TV and you can look after me.

Or I can stay here and make all the vids that Troll has post into one long tape and then get a couple of industrial fans and then I can watch the vids and have the fans on full to give the impression of riding......and just watch all the tapes.....

Or I can go and live in 0hi0 and hang out with GB at home and the shop to kill the winter........I could even help out at the shop and .............

At this rate you're going to be done with the list by Christmas!  Then you'll have to sit around and watch Trolls video's for 8 months until your 5 minute riding season is here.

Pace yourself!

The 1500s have a cover to remove to access the steering neck that the 800s don't have.

The J's don't.  Only the R's do.

Pilgrim: There is a step by step on the zerk install that dates to 2013 that I used to do mine. Really just pick a spot in the middle of the neck, use the correct size drill bit, then tap the hole for the zerk, then pump with grease until it comes out both ends. The 1500s have a cover to remove to access the steering neck that the 800s don't have.
