    I just got one of these Motion Pro mini brake bleeders. It will fit nicely in the tool kit and make fixing any brake problems at the track much easier!

    The best thing I've ever bought for my bike is a pitbull trailer restraint. It makes loading and unloading so much easier, well worth the $350.

    Just because Brian will eat it, doesn't mean it taste or smells good!

    Nice Raxx. Work great except with the PitBull Stands that go handle forward instead of backward. I think we have some extra used NiceRaxx for sale if you're looking for some.

    I may be interested but not sure on what stand I am going with yet. I am undecided on a pitbull or woodcraft rear stand. Do they work if I go the woodcraft route? or is the u shaped handle holder too large?

    Have plenty of Nice Raxx and Pitbull stands for sale as well. The Nice Raxx should work fine with any stand that I'm aware of, except the PitBull stands that go forward instead of backwards.

    I like the T-Rex stands, especially the rear one for the single sided swing arm Ducati. They're built like a brick shit house!

    I highly recommend a suit dryer, excluding crashing, leather stored damp is the number one cause of leather failure. Mildew sets in and just eats the leather internally. I've seen a number of suits over at Barnacle Bills that were good quality suits but only a couple of years old and you could tear the leather by hand due to storing them damp.

    I've seen a number of people using the one you linked to and it is attractive because of price. Downside is slower drying time and quite frankly not built as well as the Hang-Dry.

    The Hang-Dry is built like a tank and moves over twice as much air (250cfm vs 120cfm). If you want a better quality unit and can afford the extra cost you are buying something that will last you forever and more than pay for itself in saving your gear. I tend to be the buy once and buy the best I can type.
