What did you do to your bike today

[Bad Dad]

Rode this off the trailer and into the garage....... GSXR 1000 Part II.....

[Cablebandit]

Out with the old.....in with the new.

If your buddy is a real hippie that urine pitcher will be a bong by Friday.

The opening is way too big. I'm digging the cover on the stool though.

Fabbed some parts and changed the color,

I bought a new battery for the Versys, the OEM is now 5 years old, isn't worth chancing on a long trip

[R Doug]

Nice Union Jack paint.  


I changed the stator cover on the track bike.  I did a pretty good job filing down the current one.  



When placing the new one in position, I had ALL but ONE of my digits out of the way before the magnetic pull kicked in.    My pinky is still a little sore.  

Next, Servicerifle stopped by to change the tires on his GS.  So that I remember the correct position of the blocks for my next tire change, I took a photo.  

17" rear configuration.



19" front configuration.

What brand of tire changer is that? I've been looking into getting one for myself.

[R Doug]

It's the NoMar brand.

Servicerifle told me he's used both this one and the one you can get at Harbor Freight and prefers the NoMar.  I have no experience on anything but the NoMar.

Though, I believe the best part about the NoMar is the tire bar which you can always acquire separately.  That said, I just acquired The Yellow Thingie this year and it's been a most excellent addition to the tire changing process.

My yellow thingie is a small block of wood.  I guess I could paint it yellow.

Well, I just gave that nail a big -1 reputation.

See that's what you get for riding motorcycles.

[coho]

That mightily sucks. I hope there was earthy, ripe and creative profanity.
I'm sure it happened because it's April. I've had more tire screws/nails during April than any other month. One year I had three.


Stupid April.

You girls are spoiled. My buddy and I horse 'em on with the HBF deal. He did break down and order the good bar though, after I busted balls about it. I'm like dude you gotta get one of these Mojo levers.......

That thing does make life easier without a doubt.

I have seen the Nomar changers and they look like they're pretty well thought out and nicely designed.

Did I do the 'spostophes right?? Or does kommas??

[Papa Lazarou]

Bike cleaned, serviced. Just a couple of minor niggly bits to fix and it is ready for sale. The weather here is awful and I daren't ruin the high stare of cleanliness and polish. So my last ride on it was yesterday.

[Bad Dad]

Put the first 100 miles on the new GSXR 1000, took the V-Strom tires to the Suzuki shop to get changed, I should get a tire changer.

Was it like being with a new woman?


This was my morning job.



I will now ride it like a hooligan.
