My garage had a car and two bikes all winter(plus all the other stuff, like lawn mowers, garbage/recycle bins, etc), so there was no room.

lawnmowers not needed during winter time- to the shed!!! garbage can stink- to the outside!!! Car can take a little snow-Outside!!! Set up the bikes on a lift or jacks and do the work. I am fortunate enough to live in close proximity to Gas Man so I can use his garage. I could even put up his bike in my garage to make room in his and Uma could still park in the garage. Specially since she is goin down to the Fiesta this fall. That thing is tiny.

Default This winter 2010

Gas Man, this winter I would like to do the HID mod, the hog tunes mod, and the security this winter if you wouldn't mind helping with that. Prolly have to wait till early in the next year... Tax return money!!!!

So if I could reserve some lift space in advance? I will bring the beer or other adult beverage if you would like. And I can have Martha make some good Mexican food if you like.

Looks like I'll be changing the plugs in both bikes this weekend as well as air filters. Ordered a new set of Pilot Power 2CT's for the R6 and and the R1.

Man it looks like changing the plugs in these two bikes is a b!tch.

I dont have a garage, so mods happen in the driveway when it's nice out.

These HIDS are kicking my ass. I have no idea how to do it..
Whats the problem? Gas Man and I installed mine rather quickly.

I can attest to this. He is so Anti-procrastination me and the other neighborhood homies call him super anal, he and Uma call it neurotic. Call it what you will but he doesn't ever seem to really rest. Always doin somethin. Never one to just sit back and be lazy for a week. Or take part in a non-prouctive just for fun type thing that has you sittin on his duff.
