Man that was quick, I'll have to post trivia questions later at night from now on.

I still would've gotten it first. You have to remember, these days I have no life to speak of. All I do is lurk on line, and watch movies all day.  [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Sad, really.
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

Give me a moment to drag myself out from under my rock.     [bang]   [drink]     [puke]    [wine]   [bacon]

I'm in, finally decided it may be time to bring in the big guns to look at the MV's lil hiccup.
Oh, and say hi to everyone I haven't seen in way too long, the important stuff.   :-*
The world awaits.

Would learning how to change the oil in my SS count as something do-able on the Wrench Day?

Yes. You should call around and pick up 1) the filter and 2) some oil  [cheeky]


The local motorbike stores should know what you need.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

TCK!

None of my parts came in so I will be at the house resurrecting the Monster to ride next weekend.

Just get a filter and oil.  I have stands ready.

If you're by a ducati dealer get a crushwasher for like 50 cents. otherwise we can reuse if necessary.

TCK!

I like Motorex in my track bike.

I run whatever decent oil that is on sale in the Monster.

Cheapest oil for sale in the Husaberg.

OK, just called Munroe and asked if they have the above.  So the Parts guy said I need the filter, oil, a screen and a couple of crushwashers....Oh, and he added that he hates working on his own bike, just wants to ride it... guess he was making a heavy plug for me to bring the bike in so that they could do it...  :-\

But I would like to learn!  So please count me in for Wrench Day tomorrow!  I'll bring some rum that I brought back from Nicaragua, some brats, buns, tomatoes, and mozarella...let me know if you need anything else!  Thanks in advance to DarkStar and others for showing me the way!  ;D

Oh, and I hope someone has an affinity for Glenmorangie, 12 Year, Port Wood Finish scotch...it's a bit too peety for my liking...
