soooo my new painted  suzuki gsxr pink gas tank is painted looking all shiny so i decided i'm going to reattach the gas tank back to the bike so i can run it a little. so i got it on and was adding the metal fuel tank cap / cover. i was literally down to my last screw and bam!!! it popped out of the screw hole and fell down the fuel tank rolling in the little bit of gas i did have left in the tank. i screamed so loud in disbelief even my dog looked at me because he thought something happened. something did happen the f@#$& screw fell in the tank. so i immediately text my biker people to see if i could just leave it in there knowing the partial ocd in me wouldnt let the screw stay there. while i waited for a response, i got my extended magnetic pole thingy. i got a flashlight leaned my head against the tank, took a big whiff unknowingly of premium gas and focused my one eyeball not leaning on the gas tank to find that screw. ah ha! i see it. i stick that magne...

So I was going through my notes and it reminded me that I need to dig through my trunk and make sure I have everything for an emergency.... as time goes in, things get moved, used or lost. I forgot where i got this list from but I did one year put a bookbag together of most (not all) of the items and have in time used many of the items. Just sharing my list - This  emergency car kit checklist covers the basics but it also has  suggestions for items you may have overlooked. Consider packing these supplies for a super vehicle emergency car kit you can bring along on a spring or summer road trip, or just your next long-distance excursion with the kids: Sanitation Toilet paper . Keep a 4-pack handy; remove the cardboard tubes and flatten. Hand sanitizer . Store in a quart-size zip-top bag to avoid leakage. Toothbrush, toothpaste and dental floss . Travel sizes make these easier to pack. Pack a set for each member in a zip-top bag labeled with each person’s name. Plasti...

Okay, my bike is a 2011 Suzuki Gsx - r 600 I got it in 2014 with only 125 miles on it It currently has an estimated 11, 200 miles I got an oil change in August 2015 Sooooo I guess it's clear to say, my bike is due for some serious maintenance. As everyone know, I stickered and bedazzled (rhinestoned) every part of my bike. Seemed like a fun, creative and great idea at the time, until I decided a couple of weeks ago that I want to paint my bike pink and white. Hmmm now those adhesive stickers and rhinestones don't look like fun. Matter of fact it was pain staking to remove. Eventually I got a heat gun which I am so grateful for whoever invented that!!
