Yagi, my TW200, had been displaying signs of a oil seepage over the last few months.
It's gotten bad enough that she sheds a few drops when parked after a ride, not to mention also evidence of oil from her splashing onto the front bumper of the VRRV when Yagi's mounted on the front rack.
I spent some time this morning washing off all the oil/grime/dirt of the last few months worth of camping and I suspect the leak is coming from a worn seal on the front valve cover gasket.
At least, I hope that's it, based on the flow of the oil/grime that took a while to remove!
The seal: P/N 93210-57634-00 is on order via Amazon. Not due till the end of the year.

Today I drove Scarlett on a 55 mile meandering trip mostly on the western edge of the Colorado Eastern Plains. Not much out there but some ranches, some oil/natural gas wells/drill equipment and lots of brown grasses.
Didn't really find much to take pictures of, just enjoying the warm weather (65°F (18.3°C), the sun shining through somewhat cloudy skies, and the purring sound of Scarlett's engine.
While driving along Jewell Avenue, I saw this in the distance in the middle of a field:

Those pronghorn won't let you get very close, will they? They are pretty animals and so fast. Getting that good of a photo is not easy.
It's great having a wife that can cook! Mine is awesome.
Yumm! Completely forgot about the first part of the post…
Oz, nope, they're quite skittish....and the Ural's engine noise is quite noticable. ;)
A wife who can cooks has caused my riding pants to shrink in the wait area....very curious.
RichardM, I quite understand.....
Pronghorn have great eyesight and are fast. Once used a pronghorn decoy in an attempt to get closer to one, but was so nervous that some idiot might shoot the decoy with me behind it. Never tried it again.
Decoys like that work? I'd heard of duck decoys but not for such
I completely lost my train of thought while drooling over the last pic with Martha cutting the roast... nomnom. Looks delish! Cheers, SonjaM
Your comment pleased Martha, SonjaM...Danke.
:). Yes a good cook does seem to cause clothing shrinkage. Funny how that works.
