Heres the idea.

Someone posts a photo of their car at some random location. Someone else then posts a picture of their car at that spot. You are then awarded points based on “The Rules”.

The rules are in the thread in Revscene’s Vancouver Auto Chat forum and so far the competition has been tight. There is still time to catch up before this round ends at the end of Februrary.

Come check it out.

We’ll be donating to Canada Blood Services to keep their reserve supply of blood high and to Vancouver Food Bank to keep their shelves stocked. Both of these organizations have a real need for donations year round and we want to use Revscene’s numbers and generosity to fill that need.

Beginning January 1st and running until December 31st we’ll be asking our members to make donations to both of these organizations on Revscene’s behalf. Quarterly we’ll tell you where we are with respect to our donation numbers and compare these numbers with other clubs.
At the end of the year we’ll see who donated the most and they get the bragging rights for the drive.,br. Revscene may be big but other clubs have just as much heart and can organize their own members just as well. Its important to us (and to the people who need these services) to do all that we can

Beginning this spring when our st0ck & n00b meet series begins, and with our official meets, we’ll be collecting non-perishable food items to donate to the Food Bank. You can also donate cash to the food bank and they can buy $3 worth of food for every $1 donated. We’ll also be organizing group donation days for us to visit a blood donation center. You can also donate on your own time as well by just giving the following information when you donate:

Vancouver Food Bank: REVscene.net
Canadian Blood Services Partner ID: REVS008555 (those are zeros)

The post Driving down Memory Lane appeared first on REVscene.net - Vancouver's Top Classifieds and Automotive Forum.

Revscenester wobuffet was challenged in broad daylight by someone desperately trying to be cast as an extra in the next Fast and Furious movie and promptly turned him down. It didn’t stop the driver from driving recklessly and insulting wobuffet.

Skip to 1:37 and watch as the driver gets more and more frustrated as he is unable to find a playmate on the streets.

We’re happy to see our members demonstrate maturity and class when faced by someone who obviously has none. Its is also a reminder to be careful out there.

Thanks go out to our sponsor Blitzgear for establishing the Resist the Race organization.

Storing your bike unfortunately isn’t as easy as throwing a cover on it. In order to keep your bike in optimal running condition, a few steps are required so that when Spring finally comes, it’ll start up when you want to go for that first ride of the season. In addition proper storage procedures will help in the prevention of costly repairs in the future.

Tools and Supplies Required:

Battery Tender
Oil/Filter
Chain Lube
Fuel Stabilizer + Full tank of fuel

Various Hand Tools

Additional Tools and Supplies Recommended:

Rear and Front stands
Cable Lube
Spark Plugs
Shop manual
Motorcycle Cover

1)  Take the bike for one last ride. (Optional)

Go for one last ride before you put it away for the year. While you’re out, might as well fill up on gas, and grab a bite to eat before starting.

2) Fill up gas tank and add fuel stabilizers

Fill up the tank with gas, and then add your fuel stabilizers. A full tank will prevent moisture build up and the stabilizer will prevent the gas from stratifying. When gas gets old, it separates and turns into a gooey substance which can gum up your carbs.

Don’t forget to read the label and follow directions in regards to how much stabilizer to add. In our case, we will be using Sta-Bil, which uses 10mL of stabilizer to treat 5L of gas. Run the bike for a bit, to get the stabilized fuel throughout the system.

3) Change the oil and filter

Self explanatory, but in case you need a guide, one can be found here. The oil and filter should be changed approximately every 4000 -6000 kms or every 6 months depending on whichever comes first. However these numbers are not definitive, so be sure to check your manual as all bikes are different.

The goal of winterizing is to remove moisture from your motorcycle. Moisture and winter can be a lethal combination as it can gather in your engine internals and cause rusting along with other damage. Depending on how long you plan to store your bike, this next step is optional.

3b) Lube and Oil

If you plan to store your bike for more than a few months, extra care should be taken to protect the internals of the engine. Start by removing the spark plugs. Inspect the spark plugs for abnormal wear. Next, put a few drops of fresh oil into the cylinders. Crank the engine over by hand to coat the walls and the rings. Reinstall the spark plugs. We recommend putting in new ones as you already have them out, but if they are still good, feel free to reuse them.

4) Disconnect and remove battery

Over time, the battery will slowly discharge, and as you will not be riding, it won’t get a chance to be recharged. Keep the battery somewhere safe and dry. Connect the battery tender and the tender will make sure the battery will be good to go come spring.

5) Lubricate and Adjust EVERYTHANG!!* (*Where applicable and required)

As moisture is our greatest enemy, as Lorenzo to our Rossi, we need to remove as much of it as possible. Start by checking the slack in the chain. If required, adjust. This way, when spring comes, you can just hop on and go. Be sure to thoroughly clean and lube the chain especially if you are storing it outside or in an unheated area. If not done, the links in the chain may rust and severely reduce chain life. Also, be sure to check both the front and rear sprockets for wear. While you’re in there, might as well clean them too.

Check your cables, adjust and lube as required. Here is a cable lubrication guide for those who are interested. Lube all moving parts as required. Check your fork seals and put some rubber protectant on it.

6) Motorcycle Inspection

Take your time to inspect all elements of the bike and make a note of what may need your attention in the future. Check your fluid levels, look for damage or worn items.

7) Wash and Polish

Wash and polish the bike. Bug splatter is acidic and will ruin the paint if left on for too long. Also, there is no better feeling than coming back to a shiny bike that looks brand new.  Don’t forget to dry the bike thoroughly. We prefer to do this step last as we tend to be quite messy when we work so we don’t need to worry about overspray or oil drops on the bike.

8) Miscellaneous

It is recommended you store the bike off the wheels to prevent flat spots or abnormal wear on the tires. The best option is to get a set of front and rear stands for the bike. Investing in a set of stands pays for itself as it makes doing any work on the bike easier. Some bikes have a center stand. Use that at the very least to get the rear tire up. If you’re unfortunate like me to not have a center stand and do not have stands for whatever reason, be sure to roll the bike once in a while during storage to minimize the impact of flat spots. In addition, having well inflated tires will assisting in minimizing flat spots.

Put a rag or a cap on your exhaust to prevent bugs or rodents from calling your exhaust home.

Use a leather conditioner for the seat to prevent cracking.

Do a coolant flush. Doesn’t hurt.

Be sure to start the bike once in a while just to keep things moving and lubricated.

Of course this is only a basic guide in winterizing your motorcycle. Each bike is different and will require slightly different steps. Take care of your bike and it’ll take care of you. See you guys in spring!

It began with a post by Revscene’s Operation Rev Nose organizer MG1 who wanted to hear about the members of our online community making a difference, even in a small way, in people’s lives. Revscene delivered in a big way. Here are some of the highlights.

• jeffh, as a Jeep owner, jumpstarts dead cars and has even pulled a van out of a ditch during a snowstorm.
• Peanut Butter Jelly Time tells us why we shouldn’t judge people by their appearances.
• rizo improves some kids’ basketball experience.
• Mindbomber reaches out to someone who seemed alone in a crowd.
• PJ helps someone who is new in town.
• And MG1 shows us how its done.

The entire discussion can be found at the following link:

It has been going on since 2009 and is full of great stories that we didn’t cover in this post. Its definitely worth a read. Hopefully it inspires you to commit your own random act of kindness.

Mindbomber has also challenged Revscene to step up their game in December and show their holiday spirit. He wants to see everyone do one good thing every day for the entire month. We’re over the half way mark and we’ve done some good but the month isn’t over yet.

Come read about it, and participate, here.
