T-minus 1 week and counting

Last night I changed the oil
Drained and replaced the Water Wetter/H20
(I don't believe the WW changes the ability of water to cool, but maybe there is some corrosion and lubrication quality)
Safety wired the oil filler cap, drain plug and filter.
(Safety wire and water wetter are not required, but i do it as a safety precaution)
I am really looking forward to riding with all of you.

That's all it does. Changes the specific gravity by a smidge, adds some lubricant for your water pump, and some anti-corrosion so the water doesn't scale up and rust your radiator (you should be using distilled water too).

Water Wetter is a Super Collant  :o

I doubt it's ability to cool better than water.
Anti-corrosion and lubrication are the reasons I use it.
There is no proof that it cools better, and their label falsely advertises it's benefits.
It's cheap enough to use and I think it's worth $9 a bottle for the lubraction.
Water Wetter and Astro-Glide are both great lubricants worth $9

Does anybody have some extra space on their trailer to tow my bike?! I am afraid it will be too cold and rainy to ride there!!!

It's too tiring to ride there and ride at the track and ride home.  I've done it to and from truckee a once.
I then stayed in a fernley hotel the night before

I've been hearing 70% chance of no rain. That's what I want to hear. But please dress warm. And bring your Pop ups. just in case it rains a little.  Don't forget to bring some buckets to fill with water to hold those things on the ground.
