What, the melted fender wasn't proof enough for you?

At first I thought that TMI was an acronym for the thermometer and that I needed to stop referring to half the crap in my tool box as "thingies". That it was time to learn the common names of the all tools and technical names.

I still have learning to do.

but then i thought about it...
Particle Man thinks I'm pointing this thing at my wibbly bits while asking my wife "hot or cold"

He's right
too much information

Those infrared thermos are neat. You can see the temperature variance across the tire, see which vents are blowing heat and which aren't, and make crème brûlée just perfect. I don't know what the fuck you'd do with it on a carb though.

Check the temperature at the exhaust headers. Cool pipes are richer than hot pipes, with the middle two generally running slightly hotter than the outer on an inline 4.

Yup

Bought it to check the headers to see if I have tomfoolery going on.
If one cylinder no-makee the bang bang...will know which one to hack at.


added to some more to the collection of tool thingies today
craftsman impact screwdriver, screw extractors and a new garden hose nozzle.
Also picked up some more M4 2.5 hex screws to replace the remainder of the floatbowl screws.


By the time I'm done with this bike, it will be in better shape than when I bought it a decade ago.

Gee, all that I got was a compound mitre saw, saw table, router, and a load of cedar planking.

Note to self - next time I need to wrench on my bike, I'm coming to your place.
