    Once again I had to glue the rear view mirror back on. This last time was one of the longest its stayed on. The shortest being 2 days. This has been going on for like 6 years.

    Yes I read the instruction, yes I prep everything as per the instruction sheet. I think it just has a very tiny area that is flat for every thing to stick.
    See if a windshield replacement company has something to offer.

    First time tracking the Fiata! It had been 6 or 7 years since the last time I was at MSR Houston, so I am very grateful an instructor was able to ride a long with me for a few laps.

    The factory brakes on the Classica held up well. No fade despite getting on them hard enough to activate ABS in most of the corners. The only non-factory parts on the car are 4C ignition coils and a Chipbox. Everything was reliable despite the track abuse.

    Rate my lap!

    8 new coils and 8 new spark plugs in my '03 Expedition. 91k miles, 20 years old. It was time. I did not do it myself tho. Also oil and filter change and state inspection.

    I've had to do that for my old Sonoma 3 or 4 times. The original lasted about 14 years. After that, every 3-5 years I open the door to find the mirror on the floor board. Now that you mention it, it is due again.

    Forgive me father fore I have sinned . . . I forgot how to change the oil. :facepalm:

    It's my Friday, was held late at work and, I didn't want to spend weekend time changing the bike oil so I rushed it. Second (maybe 3rd :( ) time I forgot to drain the tank before adding fresh which overflowed at 1.2qts. Oh well, I guess the worst of it is $10 of new oil in the drain pan.

    Edit: G21 laughing at me hurt my feeling (yes, singular) so to clarify . . .

    It's a BMW K bike, inline 4
    Motor / tranny oil are the same
    Heat system up (which I didn't tonight other than on center stand)
    Drain tank which is above case & tranny
    Pull plug & filter for final drain

    Not my vehicle but my buddy's bike. Measured, milled, ground and attached some engine decorative plates. He's a stickler to visual detail.
    Also welded up a bracket for his new butt-support-device (aka "seat"), painted, installed, ops check good, RTS.
