Haven't mess with the Tenere but I did adjust the DR650. Put the bike on the centerstand and the handlebar would fall to one side or the other because of gravity. When I was adjusting it I used this as the indicator of proper torque on the bearings. Too much and they wouldn't fall. Then when...

Another good thing about black snakes, they will eat other snakes:)

We had a gentlemans agreement. I would relocate the snake without harm, it wouldn't tell anyone I screamed like a little girl when I saw it.

Went out to the shop while ago and there was a big black snake sitting on the DR. Had to relocate it being they are A #1 mouser. But first had to put gloves on. Grabbed it about 3/4 of the way back and it wrapped its tail around my hand. But I persevered.

I'll add this for the metal heads who decide to build. I was asking the guy at the lumber yard about pulling the metal out and how to avoid peeling the paint off when put in the bins and taken out. He said, the way the metal is cut, one end has the burr up, the other down. So you put the burr...

How far did you guys come up from the bottom for your first row of screws on the metal? I am debating whether to go through the drip edge, and it is screwed down well and doesn't need any more, or missing it completely. And how many screws hit nails? I figure there is going to be at least a...

Looks good, hopefully mine will turn out that way:). One man operation here on a 24 x 24 building, roof like yours. I am going to go a little slower, Went three days and about killed myself. Almost half done, going to the dump tomorrow with half the tear off. I am doing pretty good, it is...

I had that size tractor, I think it is a 5100. That was the perfect tractor and had forks and a lot of 3 point attachments. Sold it cause I thought I was done with it, ended up tearing down a house and bought a smaller bx23s, not near the tractor. The hydraulics on the bucket suck cause they...

Yeah. Be careful. Long time ago I knew to be careful if it hadn’t rained for a while, oil and whatever comes up out of the asphalt first thing.
