Dog food bowl. excellent for loads of jobs and dirt cheap. Duck oil for that all over protection. Castrol EP2 grease .It's the finest. Brake cleaner for carb's , throttle bodies,and brakes.

lineaway Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Bike Stand Aluminum box for oil or parts. 3 feet of clear hose, that is all you ever need to bleed hydraulics. WD-40 I buy it by the gallon. Firm believer in Maxima lubricants. Box of spare parts. I hate waiting for spares. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pschrauber Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 ... Box of spare parts. I hate waiting for spares. ... +1 this is important, especially cables (like to fail in the weirdest moments), plug, and a spare innertube 19'' to fit front or rear, in any case of. I use too flat boxes ... that can be piled up easy: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biffsgasgas Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 This - in different size available - is an astonishing good plier: even replaced wrenches. I just saw this in Sears here in the states the other day. My girlfriend said the same thing about them being amazing. They have no grip teeth but she said that for a nut or bolt its amazing how much clamping force they have. Looks like I need one.... I also have a spare case of parts called "Biffs Bits Box". Also include a set of spanner wrenches --Biff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rope, fire starter, chain breaker, I understand. But, what is that white powder in the baggy? Oh wait, it must be washing up powder, right?

lineaway Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Actually the best tool I have is my motorcycle air lift work bench.( I`ve had it for thirty years) I can easily put four bikes on the skid plate and have room to change the tires on all four bikes!
