See if a windshield replacement company has something to offer.
First time tracking the Fiata! It had been 6 or 7 years since the last time I was at MSR Houston, so I am very grateful an instructor was able to ride a long with me for a few laps.
The factory brakes on the Classica held up well. No fade despite getting on them hard enough to activate ABS in most of the corners. The only non-factory parts on the car are 4C ignition coils and a Chipbox. Everything was reliable despite the track abuse.
Rate my lap!

Thanks, man.

New tires on jeep, safety inspection, and title/registration.
I've had to do that for my old Sonoma 3 or 4 times. The original lasted about 14 years. After that, every 3-5 years I open the door to find the mirror on the floor board. Now that you mention it, it is due again.
Forgive me father fore I have sinned . . . I forgot how to change the oil. 
It's my Friday, was held late at work and, I didn't want to spend weekend time changing the bike oil so I rushed it. Second (maybe 3rd
) time I forgot to drain the tank before adding fresh which overflowed at 1.2qts. Oh well, I guess the worst of it is $10 of new oil in the drain pan.
Edit: G21 laughing at me hurt my feeling (yes, singular) so to clarify . . .
It's a BMW K bike, inline 4
Motor / tranny oil are the same
Heat system up (which I didn't tonight other than on center stand)
Drain tank which is above case & tranny
Pull plug & filter for final drain

I might get a 2 or 3

A man of vision but with no mission.
Had my daughter make a couple for sale stickers to put on the front and rear windows.
It's going to be a tight squeeze but I can cut the firewall if I need to. I can move the radiator up a couple of inches too.
That Caddy engine is massive.
Picked up the lumber package for my son's house. Not the heaviest load that's been on the trailer but not light either.
After that had to haul a window for the house. Made due with what we had since we couldn't just lay it down.

Not my vehicle but my buddy's bike. Measured, milled, ground and attached some engine decorative plates. He's a stickler to visual detail.
Also welded up a bracket for his new butt-support-device (aka "seat"), painted, installed, ops check good, RTS.
