motorcycle maintenance...

I'm ashamed to say when the last time was that I rode my motorcycle so I'm not going to say it. I'm further ashamed to say when the last time was that I did an oil and filter change on it. This will be my weekend project.
This task forced me to clean out the garage. I had some tools that I needed to find and cleaning the garage was necessary to find them. With that done, I ran the bike for about 5 minutes (I'm so glad it started), removed the oil plug and drained the oil. Can you see it dribbling out? Kevin's Auto Supply lent me a collection pan for the oil. Thanks
That's enough for one day. I need to pace myself. Tomorrow is when the fun begins. I've got to take off an exhaust pipe and engine guard to get to the filter. It also has an oil cooler that needs to be worked around. Yikes
