What I did to my GZ250 today thread - Page 11

Qasual:

Oil change and chain adjustment, DONE!

First to second gear feels like a sportbike shift and the power delivery feels like I gained 2hp.

It was probably more like 7hp. 2rwhp

Qasual - I believe my slipstream windsheild comes in today as well might pop by the shop to pick it up. Going to surprise Cathy with a nice windshield and dirty bike.

Which one did you get? I have a Spitfire (S-06) I have been meaning to try, but haven't gotten around to it...

(Why are you masquerading as Cathy?)

That would make for one heck of a hike. I tried walking at 10,000 ft. above sea level and nearly passed out. I am a wimp of course.
One of the climbers here in Squamish climbed Everest in preparation for Mt. K2 which is a much more difficult climb. I just can't imagine that much adventure in one lifetime.

Qasual :

Same one as you (Tinted black though) , and the reason behind this user name is that this is Cathy's account and also this is her bike. BUT, I do all the technical stuff on it and I seem to be posting most of the stuff on here now.

But she does contribute in saying hi to all the new members. Making my own account would feel like putting this one to waste.

So today the bike shop was closed due to a family emergency so I'll pick up the windshield tomorrow.

OK, I think I get it. I thought "Cathy" was responding to "Qasual", but now I guess Qasual is Cathy's alter ego.

Let me know how you make out with the wind screen, in fact, if you could post a picture it might save me some time scratching my head. (I've lost enough hair as it is...)

Just remembered one easily cured problem on the shield. They may have fixed it but who knows.
There was 2 little bolts with a wingnut head that could not be tightened very well with my fingers. I just went to a hardware store and bought a couple bolts the same size with a real hex head for proper tightening.

JohnC,

Thanks, I just thought I was an idiot cause I had no idea what Qasual was and apparently I"m so dense I still didn't get it until you spelled it out. So thanks!

**jonathan180iq** · 01-22-2014, 03:13 PM

He kind of slipped it in there, but I felt like he was making it kind of obvious when it was him, by starting all of his threads with "Qasual:..."

Either that, or Cathy really loves random words at the beginning of her posts.
