The days are getting longer, the buffalo and crab grasses are starting to emerge on my lawn, and the hot weather will be here before you can say "global warming is a ...(insert preferred term of endearment here)." Hey, it's Springtime in Texas, dammit! Time to pull the covers off and check your fluids!



All right, you've seen enough. Now get the hell outta my garage and go post your own picture!

Just checked clutch plates...but no photos. I'll take some changing the rear sprocket this week.

We'll be waiting 

My garage always looks like that. 
No maintenance to do since I haven't ridden but once in three months but now that the Doc has "officially" stated I can ride it's more miles to come.

I didn't really have any maintenance to do since I changed the oil before putting her up for the winter. The brake and clutch fluid still looks straw-colored all around - that Motul Racing 600 is very hydrophilic, so either Ducati is making air tight reservoir caps these days, or the maybe the drought has been good for something.

Just got the Mutley's SpeedyMoto-modded centerstand back on the bike - a new replacement for the one that was stolen off my front porch - they did a really nice job. I just realized the cut-off line is 90 degrees off, so that the pedal is upside down with the centerstand down! 
F@#$%^&!

And I see this thread AFTER I just put up every single tool I own trying to get my crappy Chinese track bodywork "working."  The stuff is what I would term semi-close approximations of 999 bodywork.  Finally gave up at 3... it was completely ruining my day.

But rest assured, tools were flailing and swearwords were bouncing of the garage walls like bullets  

Yep.  Big fun, #$%*ing motorcycles.

Lisa needs some Xanax.

Not if she has access to firearms, she doesn't.

I've been cleaning out space for something red, gold, and noisy.  Anyone guess what these will fit on?

Can I play or would that be cheating?

If you have to ask... you probably already know the answer...   

(but we may need to provide some additional 'hint' photos, these aren't very helpful)

Looks like some kind of exhaust covers....

And no, I don't need xanax - thank you very much - just got back from Cadot.  Mmmm, mmm bon!  You people in Plano have all the good restaurants.  What's up with that? 

Easy guess from just what you have.   

Hint #1: (ok, it is really the second hint but who is counting. )

Those are indeed some kind of exhaust guard thingies. I'll know exactly what they fit when I see it listed in your signature.
