Thanks, Steve... it's getting there. I should have taken a "before" pic....

There's just soooo much chit! Plus, the wife likes to throw random chit in the garage when she doesn't know what else to do with it. Granted... most of it's my chit, but still.....it's all her fault.

I wish I had a garage to clean. My kerb looks pretty clear though apart from all the crap the rain's washing along the road.

Yesterday I put an ignition controlled relay on to make sure my heated grips go off when I turn off the ignition. Peace of mind.
Cleaned the front of the engine off and found a small weep of oil coming from the R/H oil cooler pipe where it come out of the block. Nothing to worry about but will need further investigation at some point soon.

Cleaned the wheels (again), greased up every single bolt and nut to keep the water out, threw the fairings back on, covered her up and got thoroughly pissed with my brother. Post birthday celebration. A good morning's work.

Still wish I had a garage to clean though.

Hey Henry ... have not even got a small rear access back yard mate ..??
Somewhere to put up a small garden shed ??
That's exactly what i was thinking. You can even buy the shed kits and lumber for pretty cheap, or just keep an eye out for a good used one and drag it home strapped to the back of the 'Cane...

Soon I should be able to lend yu a couple acres at a real good discounted rate mate ...LOL
I'd be in for that one, Steve...

Always a nice feeling to have stuff on the way... especially a sweet givi trunk!

I just got back from getting my PR2 mounted on my lunch break. I went to a shop I'd never been to before, and I think it went well.
The owner said that if I ever need tires in the future to let him know and he will beat any price I can find (even the big online guys).
He also said that if I buy the tires from him, he'll mount and balance the set for $40. Not bad at all! I think I like this guy... lol.

That is what this place is doing them for. I bought them thru a shop close by.

Also if I just bring in the rims off the bike they will do it for free...

It seems like a decent price considering the last two shops I checked wanted $50-60 to M&B one tire with the wheel off the bike....
Total BS if you ask me.
