What did you do in the garage today?

I recently disassembled, cleaned and did light repairs on an old CR80 that I bought as a learner’s bike for my grown daughters. I will post the before and after when I finish today.

I have a eye in the ceiling, move the lift under it, and use a come along to lift the bike. Easy peesy
 
So, Mitch, YOU are going to leave tools laying around your shop for a week. It will kill you, as it is unclean. Surely your OCD will win and all the tools would be restored.

I'm trying to be more Doug-like ... just sayin'

I was going to use my handy-dandy chain fall.
But I couldn't find a place on the bike to lift it that I felt comfortable with.
 
Comfort Smomfort tie that puppy off and lift her up. you got those Gynormous crash bars, surely they will hold that thing up.
 
Really needing the freezer door rack space after seriously downsizing the kitchen fridge, this was my Southern Engineering idea for this freezer that's been churning along without a hitch for my family since about 1970. Only unplugged long enough to be trucked down from Iowa. No clue when the original pieces went away.

Saturday was pulling the transmission out of the race bike for its annual rebuild. Was happy to find that it looked MUCH better than last year, with only two gears that need replacing due to some fairly minor rounding on a couple of the dogs. Bike has been much happier since switching to the Motul (which I ran all of the past year), and this year's rebuild is the hard proof of that.

What bike do you race? Is the oil for trans. and motor?
 
Compared to this (first time I rebuilt this one - but needless to say, this was enough that it would jump out of gear. 5th gear. Just as you'd crack the throttle. Mildly terrifying.....)? Oh ya!

New rubber! First time changing tires ever for me. Was a good learning experience.

New addition to the stable ...

Sorting out battery/charging issues ... think the problem is poor battery maintenance. What do you think?

The bottom picture is a 5/16" self-tapping screw with a stud welded on top and the cable corroded onto both.
I can only guess, but the battery stud must've been twisted off and this was their fix.

Put the baffle back in the exhaust on my FJ09 and did some work on the lawn mower: changed the oil, rejetted the carb, and then seafoamed it.
