all right well let's see if we can make today a productive day I'm here in
Yamaha of Olympia I'm gonna drop the bike off with them got a list of stuff I
want to get done but Oh first guys check it out
registered in Washington for a year it turns out that was very easy to just
give him the California title and my registration cost one hundred and forty
six dollars and transfer it to Washington State and get it registered
here to here it's gonna be like 66 bucks but like I paid taxes in California at
their rate of whatever it is and so since I'm a Washington resident who
bought a bike out of state they had to apply the hundred and nine dollar tax
that I paid on the $1500 price and then add the new Washington state sales tax
which added like twenty six dollars of extra sales tax that I had to pay but at
least they counted what I had already paid in California I know that's weird
but anyway we're all good gonna jump the bike off and then we got some other
errands to run today so uh AAMCO here in Olympia does not have the required space
height or equipment to do to service my transmission as it turns out Jiffy Lube
doesn't and they actually cut you a deal if you're doing other services so I'm
gonna go to the Jiffy Lube right up here on the right where I've taken all of my
RVs before before I started doing my own oil changes in everything and I'm gonna
go ahead and have them do my royal change today because it's just more
convenient and everything and also gonna get some other services like I said a
transmission serviced as well as rear differential fluid done so it's just
more convenient that way Jackson I can sit in the lobby while they get
everything done you know I'm not gonna be soaking wet
underneath the RV
you keep an eye on all over their decks yeah making sure they take good care
Yoda yeah I'm pretty used to waiting rooms now aren't you yeah it's pretty
normal you get oh really oh okay oh is it like your spot you sit way over there
you know you could sit by me no you good all right well then I'll let you know
everything goes you just relax all right real quick I'm gonna pull into this
marine place here not buying any boats or anything but I wonder if I can get
some good heavy-duty chain to secure my bike so I'm gonna go see what they have
as far as anchor chain no dice on chain here they do sell anchors but they don't
do any kind of custom work but actually change of plants just talked to my
mechanic buddy Andrew he is going to pick me up at Les Schwab and take me
downtown Olympia to Olympia supplies so here we go pillbug les schwab again drop
the RV off with them and see what we can do
alright cool bean its 11:40 in the morning I am dropping the RV off with
Les Schwab here and legacy anyway we're gonna try to simulate it I gotta do it
this is the only part I'm not looking forward to so Jackson I'll see you in
several hours alright I am parking out here at a park and ride in Lacey gonna
do it overnight I will just mention there's really only one rule here and
that is that you can only Park for 48 hours max so there's vehicles here at
all times of the day there's security cameras and so far next time I come here
though are it'll have a big sign that say no rvs allowed but I am 100%
utilizing that in the way that the RV stays parked here and then I go pick up
the bike so I'm literally parking and writing that's my argument anyway but
anyway when I went down to Olympia supply down there by the way really
helpful people there I got some nice hat and I got an Olympia supply blue t-shirt
love that blue very helpful so what they got me is I can't remember the thickness
I want to say this is 18 millimeters thick but this you can see it in my hand
right it is heavy and bulky it's massive okay so I got 7 feet of this and that's
gonna go through the bumper through the steel under there and then it's going to
come through right here at the bike and basically I'm gonna have a big lock that
you're gonna see on the outside I order the lock it's coming it's a kryptonite
lock same thickness it's 18 millimeters thick and you would have to cut that in
two different spots in order to break free because it still stays locked in
position once you cut one side but the one thing I want to do that I haven't
figured out yet is to make this less see I feel like this is gonna like scratch
paint or something what kind of a bike lock has material
around the outside maybe I'll measure the diameter or what
this is and find out or I'll so thought about possibly getting some of that
plasti drip that you could spray on just lay it out flat Spray one coat let that
dry turn it over spray another coat that way it would have a white piece of like
rubber protectant that way it'll protect the bike wall
it's up here but ya still thinking about that in my head how I want to do that
for now at least I actually got the biggest bulkiest chain you can buy to
protect the bike on the back and the lock is coming so Olympia supply thank
you so much guys just waiting for the call on the bike now and then I'll take
the motor home over there go pick it up and we'll be back here alright so cool I
do apologize if my videos are out of order here because I don't know if I
filmed every single thing but this is the actual last part of the day was
picking up the bike got a full service so check this out they did an oil change
with all new o-rings there's what five o rings on here new spark plug they
serviced the carb they serviced the chain they also inspected the tires and
the brakes for me so everything is good on those ends and not the biggest of
things but I just wanted a DC plug so they hardwired into my Quick Connect for
the trickle charger up here to DC ports so that I can charge things as I'm
driving whether that be a cell phone and big thank you to Jason for installing
this one of camping with the Kelly's and then if I wanted to charge a GoPro as
well at some point or anything else I want to charge on the road I won't be
dead just in case but yeah now malama is good to go 100% as we leave Yamaha of
Olimpia so I'm gonna load her back up and head over to the park and ride the
bike wasn't the last thing I still have not talked to you guys about Les Schwab
I'm not gonna go into details about this I'm just gonna say that Les Schwab is
saying that it's out of their hands and the problem I'm experienced is not
related to any of the work that they did they did back in July in other words
they don't think it has to do with the drums themself they think it could be
related to leaf springs or the axle rear differential itself and they were not
even willing to replace any parts today which sound kind of strange because all
the other times last year they just replaced parts they weren't gonna do it
this time so I don't know
I don't know the RV still stops I've been dealing it
with it for over eight months now so we move on and say this is as good as it's
ever gonna get no problem no worries okay so get parked over here parked over
here they service the chain as well and said it's good but I'm gonna be cleaning
that myself and maintaining the chain and the carb on the road from here on
out guys that's right so what I'm gonna do now I'm gonna drive the bike off if
it's not raining as well as much as I can and then I'm gonna put the new cover
on the bike see how that fits alrighty I'm actually fairly happy with the fit
guys this style I wanted had the most stars it has the most protected against
Sun and rain and dust and durable wind and I told you guys I ordered from
Empire covers dot-com online again I like their stuff I like the last cover
I had so you will notice with the cover on I mean it completely blocks the old
lights so absolutely necessary for those external lights and I don't know I said
it's still there's still some play in it it's not like a solid cover but yeah I
had to use some of these guys here to create an eye hole for the bungees down
here so there's one on the front of each tire that pull it down and then same
thing back here for whatever reason they actually shipped me five of these with
my package to be able to put anywhere I want on this cover so that was kind of
cool but I like the cover while we're sharing new things let me show you my
pride and joy I talked I showed you guys in my last video I think my $250 riding
pants with protection in them well here's my coat
it's a Joe Rocket motorcycle coat again it has all of the pads and stuff in all
the important spots there's one on the back as well it's a three layer coat
obviously it's blue like my Yamaha it's gonna match perfectly
for summer riding it's got some additional stuff where you can pull this
down and clip them together and allow ventilation to come through and then you
can strip away two of the other layers inside as well got pockets everywhere
inside and it's comfy it actually fits really well and it's comfortable I don't
know for sure that I'll be wearing it in the summertime like this summer but
we'll see I'll try what it's like without the two inner stuff in there but
yeah no promises how about this I actually got the smoked
mirrored lens aftermarket it came with a clear lens instead but I just love how
easy it goes up and down and it has lots of ventilation it's made by Bell I got
it right there at the Yamaha Motor Sports store they're for $119 and for
the time being like I said if I find anybody who's interested in the red
helmet that I have it's a large size full face helmet let me know if somebody
can have it I'm gonna travel with it for a while at least until I can find a way
to give it away but yeah that's some of my new equipment that I'm really excited
about so once I got the pants and the boots and I got the leather gloves the
blue jacket the black helmet pretty cool I'm pretty excited today was crazy I
basically got everything done - the les schwab I didn't get the answer I want
but I'm done I'm past it everything else I needed like I said is ordered and good
to go so it's just a matter of waiting four or
five days from now and then by
like I said I'm over here in the Hawks prairie lacy area at this park and ride
there are a couple other Park and rides I don't need to stay in town so for the
next 3-4 days there's no reason for me to be in this town that apparently hates
me but I still in a wait till the morning to give you an update I'm
curious if this is gonna work here overnight as much problems as I had
since I've been back like the signage over there it even says limit stay to 48
hours it doesn't say limit parking it says limit your stay here to 48 hours
and that's exactly what I'm doing but you know who knows look I said I
would almost guarantee you that six months from today's date in February
every poll here will say no Class C RVs would not surprise me and if you're
listening to this Thurston County you should do it anyway
you should anyway I'll get back with you guys in the morning
you snuggling up with dad jacks yeah staying warm
yeah man that's how we do it whoo
not really a whole lot to share that the generator right on right now I'm running
the main furnace reason being is because if I run the buddy heater in the morning
it doesn't really heat the bathroom but the furnace has an actual vent that
goes to the bathroom and heats the bathroom in there so got the water
heater on getting ready for a shower it rained and rained and rained last night
here at the park-and-ride but no problems no issues at all in fact it was
really quiet the only real thing that you have to consider about this area is
the main dump right there and you can probably see it's pretty windy out there
and then all the wind stops but anyway yeah every once in a while it does smell
kind of stinky over here hey no issues parking here and I probably will not
utilize this spot again on this particular trip so you know it may or
may not work for you I don't know I doubt it though
guys have a good day gonna get out of Thurston County again while I'm waiting
for packages and then get back on the road here pretty soon
so have a good day Jackson I'll see you later
