    Got a new table lift! Makes puttering, polishing and pondering the next thing easy on the vertebrae.

    Cool. I couldn't live without mine. It's kind of like a vise, once you got one, you wonder how in the world did you live without it.
    I've got my lift centered below a carrying timber, so I use nylon cinch straps to lift the front or rear for all sorts of work, using the lift to raise the bike, block it up, then put the lift back to working height.

    I sure wish Santa had brought me a lift. I guess I wasn't as good as you all year. Very nice. Nice pair of bikes too.

    Coolant – that’s a good idea…added to my list. Just installed a centre stand that was surprisingly included in a forks/brakes/controls parts package for a 100 bucks. Pipes were a bitch to get off but she’s finally sitting upright after 26 years. Oil and fuel are done, looking forward to the 929 shock from Jamie. Would be sweet to do all this on a big red pampering pedestal like Bernie’s (surprised we didn’t see rose petals lying around).

    My VFR got a new chain and an oil and filter change.

    My wife got me some riding boots since my old ones were crap and a bike mounted camera (not a GoPro but a Vivitar since it was a 1/3 the price) The cheap mount broke and the the camera took a dive and slid across the highway. The camera is fine and the resulting video is pretty funny. I am making better mounts.

    And, I forgot to mention I got a bead rider for the VFR in my first post. It works as advertised. Definitely fights monkey butt and I have no butt aches after 120 miles. I plan to test it more when the weather gets better.

    Nothing for the VFR, but it looks like I could be getting a '07 R/W/B for me.

    :cool:
