Good things since Corona started? - Page 2

The price of oil is devastating to the Alberta economy, but gas in our area (which is notoriously the highest in Canada) has dropped to $0.92/litre, or about $2.60 US/gallon. It wasn't that long ago that we were near $2.00/litre, or $5.75 US/gallon. I admit I'm enjoying the new low fuel price.

I'm encouraged by the terrific examples of humanity in my area. There is a movement called "care mongering", which focuses on acts of kindness to others. Folks have been buying groceries for neighbours and just generally being good people.

Last night at 12am we went under stay at home quarantine. No more leisurely rides around the lake. Stuck at my house with all the yard work done. Me and the Mrs.'s cars are washed and waxed, are are all of the bikes. I am running out of stuff to do outside. I do not think I can make it 7 more days couped up inside!

Also I cannot just sit still either outside. I have to be doing something. Maybe i will plastidip my Hawk? Hmmmmmm

You could completely disassemble and put back together the hawk. lol Good time to pull that head off and port & deck the head.

I've seen it $1.82 here.

Sport Rider · 03-26-2020, 12:06 PM

1.84 here last I saw, but I've been at home the past few days. no idea what is happening out there in the world near me. I guess I should go to the ABC store again since it's deemed an essential business here in NC.

**JerryHawk250** · 03-26-2020, 12:46 PM

Just got back from getting lunch and past one station that had $1.73.

If you have your own garage and the motorcycle is there, then IT IS THE IDEAL moment to the disassemble it, check every single bolt re torque as needed. Port and deck the head....

My motorcycle are two block away and can't reach but i have the parts that i wanted to install but i didn't have the time and after 6 days of lock out i think they are laughing at me

heres the local Gasbuddy map for the 3 stations that i can hit on the way to/from work....

**cheesy** · 03-26-2020, 04:43 PM

I’ve seen $1.75 but usually around $1.99. The local Mobil, only game in town, is still at $2.29. I was pretty pleased that I got 93 for the Ural for $3 at the BP north of town yesterday.

Jerry I have come a long way since getting the hawk. I did take many of the bolts out and loctited them. The head thing? Probably out of my league. Sounds like a good idea for more power which I like. The skills and tools required are past me I fear.
