    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Those little dowels that align covers are also great for falling down inside an engine.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    When I was looking for the bearing cap I ended up digging out a large section of old cast iron water pipe. Ended up with a pretty big divot in the lawn.

    Where do you guys go for new tires?

    That's actually a bad example. Small wheels are harder. I remember fighting with tires on my trailer (8" rims) after some how getting one on I simply could not get the second and ended up buying a whole new rim/tire.

    Trailer question

    The span is less than 2 feet. Bikes are light-ish. Trailer is available online at Rona and HomeDepot, either one better than the other?

    Trailer question

    Well fack me! I'm a rock of indecision. Luckily the Squeeze always provides good counsel. She didn't think much of buying a new trailer and hacking off the ramp. "do more research??.." Now I'm thinking about this. Just a 5x8 trailer kit. Even lighter at 250lb. Skinning the deck with 1x6 deck...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Voltage was 12.6 until I turned on the ignition. It dropped to about 4V with load.

    Mortgage rates

    Money??? I'm 63 and retired 6 years ago. The Squeeze and I were frugal but managed to enjoy ourselves (there's always been more than one bike in the garage). A buddy one year younger than me who has always made decent money (millright) and seemed to spend it stopped by not long ago. When we...

    At first I was like WOW nine bikes. Then I stopped and took a count. I'm at 8 (9 if you count the moped hanging from the ceiling -I don't) and a sled. I call it garage Tetris.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    There's a new battery for the killer sitting on the bench. Old battery was 5 years. It shared a battery tender with 2 other bikes. Never had a blip. About a week ago I'm out riding. Made a couple stops everything fine. Make another stop and 15 minutes later the neutral light won't even...

    Trailer question

    Thanks all. So the ramp is a double edged sword. I think the dirt bikes will climb it fine but not my street bikes. The DragWing not evenly remotely close. I have a nice pair of folding aluminum ramps and I wouldn't be adverse to taking the sawzall to ramp and cutting it down. Looks like the...

    Trailer question

    So this is the trailer I want to buy. Yes it's cheesy but it also weighs under 400lb. This is key both for my small car (Toyota Matrix) and that the trailer sometimes live at the bottom of a small incline in my back yard. Between the upright ramp and the front rail is 7.5 feet. The front rail...

    Cleaning/polishing engine case

    Exactly what Brian P. says. You can do most of it with the cover on but it's more work. Probably about on par with getting the cover off and back on without it leaking oil. Got a new gasket? That coating is a bugger to get off. I've heard of but havn't tried using Easy Off oven cleaner...

    What's the one thing you always forget or wish you'd brought on long trip on 2 wheels?

    One guy we ride with seems to know all the great swimming holes. That said we'd just strip to our gitch and head in.
