What did you do in the garage today?

Forums New posts
Yesterday: Installed a Mako 360 bar mount on my Husky FE501, hope this takes some of the vibes out. Will test ride soon. Also did the once a year oil change on my fast car. Cleaned up the garage.

I ordered tese little remote control ceiling fans from Amazon. Seems like I paid very little for them on sale at half price!!

Wasn't sure what the quality would be so just ordered two. So far, I LOVE them!!

It is Best Buy Auto. Made by Tuxedo Auto Equipment in Alvarado, I think. Cost was right at $2K for a 1500 # capacity including side extenders and front wheel vice. I probably spent another $400 for stuff to lift it off of my trailer.
 
Drained the radiator on the E30. That's it, all I could muster after another brutal work week.
I'll TRY and actually swap the radiator tomorrow.
 
Decided to share this one. Got this while rebuilding the nose gear assembly on the 150.

I can't see with my left eye due to retina damage ans a cataract. I have surgery this coming Thursday to fix a retina bleed, then cataract surgery the following Thursday.

Didn't see the prop tip after Jerry rotated it, and got a good reminder it was right there!!

Ouch!

Daughter bought her first street bike. We got one quick ride in before I gave it a good once over. Now we are learning about proper maintenance.

Wow. Glad it's not worse than that.

Finished up the lift this morning. Man, it was heavy. Looked too scary to ride a motorcycle up there. ;-)

I’ve been resurrecting a beat down old KLR. Today I finally rolled it off the lift and put a few miles on it. Everything seems good so far.

Now I’ll put it back on the lift for a thorough check over front-to-rear to make sure no problems surfaced on the initial ride.

What technique did you use on the plastic. Looks great.
