How in the world can one do that? I would never do that. I never did that. Nope, not me, not even once. I have a system so that wouldn't happen. Only if I forgot my system could I do that. It would never happen, never did and won't.

That's nuthin' I once misplaced a whole airhead!grant81rs wrote:I found a spare part that I forgot I had brought, I buy shit, hide it then forget I even have it, then start looking again for that exact part on ebay or gumtree..... mad I say, I'm going f%$king mad....
Well, OK, that's not exactly not true. But I have a lot of airhead spare parts, enought to make up most of an airhead, and I can't remember where exactly I put them. For a given item, was it in this box or that barrel, or did I put them up on a shelf in the shop?
The scary thing is that it's not going to get any better unless I do an inventory and list the part names, P/N, location, and other pertinent data on my computer. That sounds like much more work than searching all over hell for those new bing floats I now need.

Replaced the tube in my 75/5 rear tire. Used only the tools in my on-bike tool kit (I think that is the first time not using "easier" tools from the rollaway) and now feel better about being prepared for roadside puncture repair. Did keep the garage door open to let in beautiful fall sunshine. (Installed a Bridgestone tube from local Bmw dealership. Thought they'd have metzler, but this one seemed pretty good)

Still working on the pieces for the dual disc conversion. Wire brushed the silver caliper, masked off areas, raised the garage temp to 70 degrees and gave it the first coat of black caliper paint.
Only shed I have is a storage shed with my Triumph and stuff stored in there.

Stood quietly staring into the headlight bucket in a confused daze for ages waiting for the indicators to start flashing on their own... Nothing!!

I washed, dried and painted the insides of the lower fairing to a cleaner looking satin black.

Re: Today in the shed you did...
I didn't do anything. Both bikes are running great. I fixed the irrigation system, does that count?
To do: Turn signal indicator doesn't work on the R90. Front brake light switch doesn't work on the R65. Small things.
