Layla has even more stupid Crocs. Mine has a Reaper. That pipe is the stock pipe coming off. Getting ready to install the Bassani 2 into 1.

My washing machine is away from the wall waiting for the plumber. Asshat before him used pipe dope on the p trap. Da fugg. Would of been easy to remedy a clogged trap. Not so much now.
I’ll have the guy put in a removable p trap before he leaves.

Don’t lash out because you’ve been disappointed.

In other news, I am flirting with disaster so close to WS23. I was (and hopefully still am) going for a couples ride Saturday with Y2K and his wife and Cheryl. I've been uneasy about the tires on the RK as they came with the bike and appear kind of old. Verified - date stamp says 2011. One strike. They are worn down close to the wear bars. Two strikes. And I saw a crack between the treads. Three strikes. So I did a mad scramble to find Dunlop American Elites last night. Found the front at Cycle Gear in Vancouver. Of course the rear is in Portland, so that had to wait to today. I will say, I have never bought tires from Cycle Gear. I was very impressed with them yesterday. Manager, Angel, has 12 bikes! She really knew her **** and educated me on a few tire facts.
@LoneBone - Did the front, which is dimensionally very close to the rear on this vintage RK. No issues at all with the Cycle Hill changer. In fact it was easier than the back dirtbike tire. I've always thought those were harder to do than street tires anyway. They have super stiff sidewalls and I run 6 ply, so beefy as F. I'll do the rear mid morning and with any luck it goes just as well. Fingers crossed.

I've seen tires stamped with 2012, but it was NOT the date code. Date code on motorcycle tires always follows DOT, and it will be circled, in a box or window, as in the pic. First 2 numbers are week of production, second set of numbers are the year. So that tire was built between Aug 27 - Sept 2nd, 2007

I've not been disappointed yet Russ. The fact that you guys care enough to offer advice, and rib me means I've been a good enough person to have good friends.
Besides, did you see the disaster Bob left in his old house before he took off to the PNW? Not ASE certified.
Hi Jack!
