Oil Change, or How I destroyed my engine

I'm not much of a videographer, but here's a record of how I spent part of my morning. I didn't realize that my little camera was set to loop every three minutes. Some 12-yr-old would probably know how to knit these together into a single video. No action here. Just me talking.

It was a lesson learned the hard way. I'm much more careful now.
Re: the 450
It's a nice looking motorcycle (second best after the RE), and I suppose I'd rather have a 450 than my 250, but the $17K price is a bit wide of my budget. Besides, what would i do with three?

Mon, Wed, Fri, 250 Janus.
Tue, Thu, Sat, 450 Janus.
Sunday, 500 Electra!
If we all bought more lottery tickets, more of us would have the 450 Halcyon in our garages...at least 0.0001% of us, eh?

If we're talking lottery winner's bike, I'd be thinking more Featherbed Norton Model 30 International, or maybe a Godet/Egli Vincent Grey Flash in road trim. You can have my Halcyon.

Yep. But if I won the lottery, I'd be thinking more about a sailboat on the Chesapeke.
