    I picked up a new TX300i 2 weeks ago. I’ve been tearing it down to grease everything up and tossing a few parts on it since then and finally got to ride it Sunday damn it’s a good time! Still figuring out what I want to do for exhaust and waiting for some more protection parts to show up. Can’t wait to race it when things start getting back to normal.

    We close on our house Thurs and I finally get my 3 car garage. Wife is already asking if we need an intercom from the house to the garage :D

    I wish I had a project as exciting as some of you all. I'm putting tires on the DR (and a new brake line). Yeehaw!

    Rebuilding the carbs for my CB400F "return from the dead" project. It was supposed to be a $200 rebuild and I'm already $800 into it. I still have 3 painting jobs to do, 2 tanks and a set of race fairings. I've got to wait for some decent weather, seems like when it's warm enough it's just too windy.

    The answer is yes. Ask my wife.

    People joke, but I basically live in my garage. I have a 2 1/2 car and an attached ex-cistern which is a 12x25 concrete bunker, and all of the space is mine. It's controlled by my HVAC, has 2 stereo's, a bourbon bar and a flat screen. She gives me grief that she can't pull her car in but it's an 07 Pilot so what's the use. Only thing I lack is a fridge (which is just in the other room) and a toilet.

    Thanks for the info! I just ordered one to fix the leak on my Multistrada. I've been meaning to put it up for sale and this'll make it that much easier.

    I've probably saved 500 hours of work over the past several years on my bikes with that $6 tool. Its like a miracle tool. Good luck!

    Top is Seal Mate and it works OK
    I've used the Seal Doctor bottom and it's a great tool and comes in different sizes. Both you can get from PU

    916 Bodywork C.jpg FZR with R3 Motor B.jpg R3 RR D.jpg I've definitely been able to get more done on my "R3RR" project. I realized last night that I'm not far off from being able to fire it up.

    Got rear shock installed on Grom, will do new springs in forks once I get the proper pin delivered from Pitbull.

    Broke down some pieces off of old Daytona motor to give away before throwing the remainder into a dumpster.

    Build bike rack to keep the pedal bikes away from my bikes.

    I'm considered "essential" not shut down, so no extra "garage time". Most of the time that is where I can be found, though.
