New oil spot in the garage.
I took my brakes off today in prep for chging my caliper out and setting up the SS lines on monday, and decided while I was at it i'd change the oil as well. So i get the bike purring to warm the oil up a bit, and get all the stuff i need together to change the oil. or so i thought. After 10 mins of idling I shut her down and cracked the seal on the drain plug and then went to grab my oil pan...
Shit, where did i put my oil pan? after frantically running around my estate looking for ANYTHING to drain the oil into i realize i forgot to re-seal the drain plug, and sure enough i have a 4 inch oil stain right under the bike. It sucks when u get halfway through a project and realize you dont have the proper tools. |

Just shows you actually work on stuff yourself.
I have many. Though if you leave floor dry (or kitty litter) on it for awhile, most of it will go away.
