What Have You Done To Your Bike Today?

found a new motor for the ninja 250 that has been sitting collecting dust hopefully picking it up this weekend swapping some gaskets and firing it up on sunday
 
Let my daughter sit on it and pretend to ride, keep her keen for days out with Dad when she's bigger :)

I've been doing the same with both of my daughters. The older one was helping me get my gear out of the cupboard today so she's starting to get into it I think.
 
All because the Misses now has a strong desire to ride.
I haven't been able to get my wife to ride in 15 years...something about me not knowing how to shift with a passenger and her helmet continuously banging into mine for 3 hours. Post Traumatic Husband Disorder i guess :)
 
Installed a new set of sprockets and a new chain today. She'll be a lil faster now!

Yeah you have to be smooth with a pillion.
 
So, my battery blew up while on the trickle charger the other day and upon seeing my status, my sweet, sweet mom ordered me a battery off amazon. The one that blew up was a cheap Chinese one but it did last 9 months and I didn't charge it over the winter and I didn't ride the bike at all... This one is a cheap one too but has a battery monitoring device and LED display with the voltage and condition built in. Looks pretty good and has an 18 month warranty. $38 buck shipped is not bad....review will be completed after a few rides. http://amzn.to/1PqNLVv
 
not my bike but an awesome friend picked up a new to him 2004 shadow. After finding clogged jets and passages and helping him figure out how to clean a carb from a bike that sat for 3 years, it still wasn't able to go above 1/4 throttle without dying. Then I felt the pipes...nothing from the front cylinder! changed plugs and she's a beast! Nice little 600 twin for a guy new to riding. You will be seeing this bike in my videos soon, along with beginner tips that Seth will be participating in!

There isn't a better feeling than helping out a friend who is at his wits ends.
 
I got my Sena 20S and the GoPro bacpac working on the bike for my latest video. Wish I'd bought this when it first came out. Soooo nice having coms, music, GPS... Looking forward to doing co-vlogs with my friend Chanelinked on our joint channel ChaneMoto.
 
Scrubbed and Greased the chain. Then it started raining cats and dogs before I could get it in the house :( She's getting rained on atm.
 
Diagnosed a bad rear wheel bearing (major drag after a few miles) and am trying to work out some jetting issues on the ugly bike! Video will be up soon on poor man's wheel bearing removal tool and a how to. My first wheel bearing was kinda intimidating so I hope this will help you guys (and gals).
