Weekend Project Thread........What did you do this past weekend?

Put Galfer lines and pads on my new Bandit along with fresh fluid of course. Getting ready to try the new brakes out shortly.

 

It is 304 SS, 1/4" thick, 24" long x 12" wide. Aluminum would have been a lot easier to work with but I would have been too afraid that it would crack. Plus I was able to order that plate that exact size, so I only had to drill/tap it. Lots of re-sharpening drill bits. Drilled it on my drill press at 300RPM.

 

Very nice job on the Pit Bull system. Very similar to what I made for my trailer to use the l-track rather than drilling through the floor.....

 

Moved a truckload of shit to the dump and dented the tailgate

 

Rob - it's a project for school. Walgreens has a pretty stand count on what it takes to build. My next project is a Home Depot build I've got to build.

 

You're working? Are you off the teet?

Oh, I put an Ohlins shock on the Tuono and new Q3's today.

 

How is that attached to the airline track? Is is easily moved?

 

Depends on the day I guess. Some days I'm on it more than I want to admit. I've got 2 semesters left of school then hopefully I can do a little more as I please without repercussions from the wife.

 

Update to this weekend,


Messed up a double jump at the dirt bike camp track, left me with a swollen left hand and road rash on my right elbow.

In my defense they refaced the track jumps a week ago and I had not seen them until this morning. I was warned though that they were knarly, yep nothing like seeing your bike launch 20' into the air as you bail off and hit the ground in a 3rd gear roll.

Luckily no one saw it and I picked it up and rode 23 miles on the single track on adrenaline. Then I realized I was actually hurt and limped home

Damn good weekend

 

Wife? Still together? She let you drive the new car? just playin' man.
My ex watched the dog at the house while I was at jennings last weekend. She still owes me $150...told me she gets her income tax next week.

Thread jack over.

 

Living like it's tax time

 

Im dyin' to post up pics of her making out with her gf. Ill save that for a slow, rainy day on the beeb.

 

re finished the kitchen cabinets. still need to buy a few more handles. gonna rip out the carpet and tile and put in wood laminate in the next month or so

 

Cleaned up the garage. Talked about starting the bike, but washed the car instead... wife's car.

 

Using 4 of these (two of them were missing in the picture as I hadn't got them in the mail yet):



Takes all of 30 seconds to mount/dismount and I can re-position the bike anywhere along the length of track if I need to distribute the weight or shift trailer contents around. Plus this kept me from having to drill permanent, fixed holes in the aluminum flooring.

 

Haha, the "I talked about doing......" tends to happen to me a lot on the weekends. Something else always comes up

 

Spring is in the air. Went on a mad cleaning spree this morning, moving furniture and vacuuming and filling the garbage cans. Decided I'd had enough of the janky curtain rods in the living room and went shopping, got new blackout curtains and wrap-around curtain rods.

Now the kids are napping and I'm enjoying a cocktail.

 

Next Project: Dishes

Yesterday went to camp to check on the place. Walked around in the woods for a while and played with the dog. Stopped at my dads/brothers farm on the way home for a visit. Now the dog smells like pig farm.

Today gave the upstairs bathroom a thorough cleaning, quick trip to Walmart and ran the truck thru the car wash. Lots of throwing the ball for Gunner [never ends]. Fixed the exhaust on the oldest daughters car. Going to take our tax stuff to the accountant tonite at 6.
