Naturaledge:
Changed fluids in 3 trannies, 2 engines, 2 new air filters, 2 SS oil filters and spit-shined everything in between. Then filled the motorhome with H2O and then cleaned 4 pair of googles. Then went out and bought a new truck for Monkey-wife. Other than that, I didn't do much........

Yeah right, you think you're getting off that easy :smirk:

come on tell us what you got :popcorn:

While setting up my new bike carrier hitch I found that all the allen bolts that hold my rear sprocket on were loose. Like I could turn them with my fingers loose.

Just get them finger tight Smoke and then back them out 3 turns... :prof:

(Please, for the love of all that is good in this world, do not take the above advice - 2 turns out is plenty....... :smirk:

I love how you had to put in the disclaimer, he probably would've taken your advice otherwise. :smirk:

I find it hard to laugh right now, but even in these trying times edge you crack me up :lol:

Ok, so what I did to my bike today.... changed the oil and installed new grips. then started it and was letting it idle and couple small blips and let it settle back down, while idling I started hearing a small low-end grow that got louder and louder until I started seeing the smoke get thicker and thicker and then I hit the throttle and ever bug in the tri-county area got killed. I could smell the trans oil big time. I think my crank let go. :cry:

I was getting ready to go ride in the morning too :foul:

Oh well, looks like I will just have to watch the boy ride.

Ok, so who's up for a re-build thread?? :smirk:
