Looks like I'll be changing the plugs in both bikes this weekend as well as air filters. Ordered a new set of Pilot Power 2CT's for the R6 and and the R1.

Man it looks like changing the plugs in these two bikes is a b!tch.

Don't have a winter here, but summer is dumb hot. I have to wait until just before the sun comes up to do anything. I'll be sweating still because it's like 95, but not as bad as in the middle of the day when it's 110+. I gotta change the oil in both vehicles, strip off the street fairings of the R6, throw it on the trailer and bring it in for service.

Don't see that happening anytime soon.

I can attest to this. He is so Anti-procrastination me and the other neighborhood homies call him super anal, he and Uma call it neurotic. Call it what you will but he doesn't ever seem to really rest. Always doin somethin. Never one to just sit back and be lazy for a week. Or take part in a non-prouctive just for fun type thing that has you sittin on his duff.

Specially since she is goin down to the Fiesta this fall. That thing is tiny.
I cram them in pretty good during the winter...

So if I could reserve some lift space in advance? I will bring the beer or other adult beverage if you would like. And I can have Martha make some good Mexican food if you like.
Whatever... we can do it up.

Full out HID is $250
Security is $150 + if you want the alarm

YUM food!

I thought about procrastinating fixing the busted water line, but then I realized I smelled like old man. Now how am I suppose to win Racedoll's heart smelling like I've been rolling around with 10 wet dogs?

I really need to check the vfr's valves and get to plastic welding the fairings. I've gotten so lazy, I'm pathetic.

took me awhile to take the bike in for seals and bushings, still gotta check the valves for peace of mind, but the day after i got the bike back from racetech i took it apart and threw the rotors and pads on, grips probably tomorrow, valves this week.

old saying, procrastination is like masturbation-seems like a gd idea at the time, but in the end you're only fucking yourself

Speaking of 'procrastination'...I wasn't able to get this done last weekend so since the wife is out of town this coming weekend...looks like a great time to get to it. Guess I'll go ahead and change the oil while I'm at it too.
