    Looks like mine was quite boring compared to others!

    Did a bit of a repair on my touch up spray gun, see if it holds up tomorrow...

      You are so lucky to be in Nevada because I also remember Dad and I DRIVING it to the junk yard and getting $60 for it. Here they salt the roads in the winter and it ate classic car bodies like candy.... After that we bought a '72 Torino station wagon
      Never had a problem with them in the snow.
      With limited-slip posi stock, they are a hoot on 6 inches of packed snow on the highway at about 45-50 mph.
      Just touch the gas and go side-ways a few feet, while spinning both wheels, in complete control.
      Our white '64 we called the Snow-Bird.

        I bought and began working on this today, an '01 Katana 600. It needs a few things like a tire, chain, and some plastic repair. Not bad for $650.

              Dropped the oil pan on my bike. Everything looks clean up inside, no metal in the pan... Now for the task of cleaning the gasket mating surfaces to prep for the new gasket!! This should be fun!

                      I got the last (I hope) 3 clear coats on, did a huge clean up in the garage, then did a little polishing and grinding...

                          Started to put a couple bikes away today. I did however take my 1123 super F out for a little blast. Air temp almost 60, road temps somewhat less. No big zipping on corners, BUT, I did carry the front wheel in 3rd gear @ 80 + mph @ 75% throttle. What a weapon

                            No wrenching as such, but did a huge clean of my working area in the garage so I'll have somewhere to put my tank etc. safely away once I pull down the temporary booth.

                                Hauled my 77 XS-400 off to it's new home at with a friend of mine.

                                With the new found garage space I dragged the 78 GS1000 out from the side, stripped off the tank, seat, tail, highway bar, and exhaust.

                                I need to get it down to the frame and off to be power coated.

                                Also did more work on my 87 Mustang Notch but that's a different forum
