I forgot to thank High_Side (Bruce) on our 3-day BC trip for oiling all the bike chains in the morning.
Thanks Bruce!
As seen early in the morning oiling his wife's chain in his pajamas*:
*Guess I'm dead when Bruce sees that photo eh?

Bruce and his wife Jen. Great looking TMW Rider T-shirt!
My wife Andrea in a very high and windy area
Me & Jen, rockin out in the hotel room... why do I look like a GIANT in that photo!?

lol good stuff guys. So High_Side and his wife had to sleep outside. And Mike and his wife got the hotel room. What the heck kinda bet did you loose Bruce?
And the Rotella-T is great oil. We use it in the trucks (diesels). Unfortunately I cannot find any out here (at least not under the Rotella-T name) so I have to buy whatever's available
