    Bought Sprout a brand new battery, then took him for a bath. He's got a happy gleam to him now! :smilewinkgrin:

    Drove it and ignored the dirt. It was hard to ignore, but I managed. :D

    Saturday I got the last bit of preventative maintenance done to Ryu- had the tensioner and idler pulley replaced.
    Came home and gave him a bath (how could I not???)

    Last bit of maintenance pre-Dragon will be brakes :Thumbsup:

    Today I drove into work on this sunny morning.

    Today I filled-up (13.1XX gallons) after getting 458.3 miles on a tank. Given the way I drive; that's impressive.

    Oh! I also crossed over 58K miles. :D Hinky flywheel and all...:mad2:

    Installed my "new to me" JCW exhaust. Pretty easy task, even with jack stands on the garage floor.

    Now it's time to partake....... :beer

    ^^^ Thanks very much. Ya the floor is freshly done this past September. I scuffed up the epoxy a bit today though. Can't see it from a galloping horse, or after a few beers...
