Hey man...Happy Birthday. At our age...everyday above ground is a present if you ask me. Can't really offer any suggestions on what you should buy for yourself but I am sure Budd Matto would be willing to help you spend some of that money :D
 
Happy Birthday. :)

If you don't have a good set of t-handles..... That's a "must have"....

Reminds me that I am missing my safety wire pliers... I feel somewhat lost without them...

Yes!


But I don't have room for a full size one - so I have been looking at this one for *way* too long...

Lathe. You won't believe you got by without one.

Compressor and bench grinder with a wire wheel goes without saying.
 
You got me thinking....I bought this a couple of years ago. Never thought it would replace my air impact gun / wrench but it did. This little jewel is amazing. Think I paid around $150.00 for it at Lowes and would like to have another one to keep in the my van.

I have a 12 volt version and its great for all the 6 mm threads. It also wont over tighten any thing. I go back over with a t handle to torque everything at the end. You can strip all the plastic off your bike in no time with the little impact. It will break the 8 mm stuff too. Definitely a must have tool.
 
Being laid up with lots of time on my hands is getting a little more expensive than planned . I really need to learn how to post pictures . So on my way to Mattos to pick up my new shop tools I picked up a 2013 roller from Nick on this forum . I have a spare 2005 200 bike that I stole some parts off of to make my 2011 200 6Days work rite, it was just sitting there ! So now I had to get bearings, plastic, and a few other things for this new project. So the steering head race remover and a new truing stand were waiting for me . I already have 2 full size lifts and 2 of the lifts that go straight up along with most any shop hand / power tool you could need in a shop . Does anyone know what size the spokes are on a Gasgas wheel ? None of my spoke wrenchs fit the spokes ?
 
If I was home I could tell you. I'll be home tomorrow and I'll let you know if you haven't found out by then. It's either 6.5 or 6.8
 
Thanks Matt how did your new bike come out ? I will be coming down to Hatfield n McCoy sometime next year maybe we can get together and go riding ?
 
Freaking love it. Currently waiting for a couple parts that Rod has been great helping me source. Also have new tires and tubliss to go in and i should have my new graphics after the first of the year. Let me know when your coming and what system your riding. Also we do a labor day ride at AOAA in PA every year
