I've never seen anything like this before.
It's given me time to catch up on several projects around the house and service my vehicles.

On the Goldwing I replaced front and rear Brake fluids and the Clutch fluid.
Changed the engine oil with Rotella T6 and installed a new Bosch 3323 Oil Filter.

Radiator Fluid flush is next...

Anyone else changing their fluids?

I’m drinking a six pack a day, does that count?

Put a new battery in the F6, and also in my pick-up. Changed rear rubber on my FZ-09. Supposed to get about 46 degrees, today, so I'll be riding.

As long as it's not oil you should be fine.:cheers:

Absolutely it does.:cheers:
Mechanic Lubricants/Fluids come in various viscosities and all have different purpose specific applications.
This "Specialty Beer" Lubricant when used in the proper quantity keeps a mechanic's elbow from seizing and allows him to keep wrenching effortlessly.
Over-filling is not recommended, it could over-flow and create a mess.
My Garage has specific shelves dedicated to this lubricant, its protected behind a door and at a specific temperature for best results.:alc:

Yes, I have the same storage facilities for my "Specialty Beer" Lubricant which also keeps my internal body regulating supply fuel properly chilled for consumption.

I got new tires. I need to refresh the front forks. I think that is on a maintenance schedule somewhere. I have not dug out the timeline on that. These shocks have about 50K on them.

I'm fortunate enough to live in the foothills in northern California, and with this beautiful weather I've been able to make a few rides. While there are plenty of places to buy lunch, finding a place to have lunch is more difficult. Some parks are open, but they have all of the parking blocked off to keep everyone except locals away. But I've managed to find a few places. I've also seen a few groups of motorcyclists and they don't seem to be having any problems up here. Thankfully more businesses are starting to open back up.
