Anyone keep a log book?

For as long as I can remember I have bought a small wirebound tablet for my vehicles. It comes in handy for part numbers, prices, warranties, etc. I sometimes write down such things as best mileage or small changes that I make or notice and may otherwise forget. Oil changes and tire wear are the most important. For my motorcycle I even have a notebook/portfolio with all my purchases and riding impressions in it. When one of you guys posts something I may need in the future (Especially photos) I put a copy in there, also. Just wondering.

Yes, I have a small notepad for my bikes. Keep part numbers, maintenance with notes and any adjustments I make. As for notes from the forums and such I copy and paste into docs and store in a folder on my laptop. I will forget this stuff, my memory is not what is once was.   :'(

I keep track of all the bike maintenance in the back of my clymer, and all my fuel purchases and additives (seafoam) get loaded into fuelly.com

I keep a log of gas mileage and just log the maintenance in there.   A drop in MPG means to look at stuff.

I'll scribble in my Clymer's for any major repairs or mods and to keep track of obscure part numbers. I don't keep track of my MPG, just oil changes.

Ed, When I got my bike I switched back and forth between the DPR7 and DPR 8 plug. That's the kind of stuff I can't remember. Now I run only the #7. And my last mileage check was last summer on a group ride. 50-54 mpg. But a good use for a small log book is to give Newbies with less than helpful dealers access to correct part numbers.   Wink
