Anyone else wrenching tonight?

Just curious if I am indeed the only gearhead in the garage tonight on Christmas eve.. Swapping out brake pads, cleaning the rotors, etc.

No family stuff til tomorrow. Neighbors think I'm nuts.

Just is from the garage. Removed the shock to grease the linkage and replace the wires that feed the right turn signal in the mirror.
So yeah, me too.
My neighbors know I'm nuts

Replaced the rear-view mirrors with carbon fiber editions. Re-wired the mirror turn signals while I had the nose down. Changed one of the bullet license plate lights that went out last week. Detailed the bike from top to bottom, then sat in a chair in the "Man Cave" admiring the beautiful weather we are having here in Florida this week. Wife made me pay for it today!!!!
