Re: NEED bike conditioner

I don't think I am that bad although, I did spend about 4-1/2 hours cleaning and polishing her yesterday. I think I only lied down besider her twice and it was only for a minute I swear.

I was cleaning the spokes and the bottom of the swing arm.

Simple if some one else can, why can't I

Re: NEED bike conditioner

That is awsome.

I had to book mark that one. Maybe a couple of weeks and I will have to get one.

I just roll my lift out onto the driveway. Put the Toolmatic on it, and lift it up to clean the bottom, and wheels. I also get to wash all the dirt, oil, and grease off the lift.

Re: NEED bike conditioner

I have a bike jack, Its just that thing looks kool and would be so much easier than dragging around the jack. As if I need anything else in the garage.

That would be kool I need a garage stretcher maybe one or two more bays.

Please...don't insult me.

I may the cheapest guy on this forum. I don't have all kinds of bank to drop into a motorbike, so I make do with making it myself or buying used/EBay/CraigsList/MC_junkyard. Sure, it's a pain...

Not as painful as me swapping the starter/solenoid and fuel pump on my '79 Caddy. On one of the hotter days of the year...in the driveway...without a creeper.. About 5 hours of my life that I won't get back. Good thing is: it starts easily now, and doesn't shoot fuel out the bottom of the engine.

I am cheap, and life is good.

Re: NEED bike conditioner

Nothing a wrong with being cheap. Most of the stuff I got came from being cheap and not liking to get read of any thing. I love craigslist, E-bay and thrift stores. LOL

thrift stores <<<wife.<smiley image="smiley_grin.gif"/> Buy it cheap do not always mean it is cheap. Just more money for the next trip.

I would never! I am cheap.Everything i own was either given to me ( seems to be alot of that lately!),second hand or I had to make it myself. I never beg for anything for free,people just do nice things for me.I have no idea why.Maybe they feel sorry for me

I enjoy how I live. Cheap. I will most likely never buy the tire roller as long as my center stand doesn't run away from home.
