What's your favorite martini? vodka and wave the vermouth near the glass? I don't condone drinking and driving. I do however offer a solution to distract the occifer that pulls you over... My Martini Breathalyzer.... Oil flavored, of course. ;-)    Custom Martini shaker oil breather.... $8 for the shaker, flat aluminum stock was spare scrap, machine screws and nylocks were lying around the bench. $6 Brake bleeder fitting, cut, drilled and mounted. Just remove the stock breather/filter box, and install to existing frame brackets. Cost? $14. Look on your functional alcoholic coworker as he realizes he can't drink out of this? PRICELESS. loudest143 *appletinis are for girls. |

 I like it, but I will admit when I first saw the image up top I thought it was going to be a custom exhaust. Tricked me! Nice job. |

Same thing I thought, but a nice suprise with the oil breather, as I hope to do one of these soon. Great idea!

No...No...NO...
Do not wave the vermouth bottle. Face away from the mixer, and in very low voice, whisper "vermouth".

Ah, Citron Vodka for me thanks. From the freezer, no ice.

That is pretty neat. I used a aluminum camp stove fuel bottle, that I got from Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World years ago as a oil catcher on my Harley. If you put the fittings in the bottom and install the bottle upside down, you can unscrew the cap every now and then to drain out the oil that collects in there.
The OEM air filter box on my scooter has too small of a hole on the oil drain catch tube, so oil doesn't drain out of the air filter box. So you have to go in a sop up the leftovers from time to time. One of these days, I'll put in a larger fitting with a larger hole so it can drain properly. I just haven't bothered with it yet.

Wow, I finally took a look from home where I can see the pictures. That thing is huge! I had no idea from the description how big your bottle was. Mine is about the size of a tin band-aid box but made of plastic.

You can get about 2 martinis worth of oil in it.... :-)

Just the other day, I made a makeshift oil catch out of a soda can. I just stuffed a paper towel into it, ran the tube into the open pop-top, and held it in with the tab and some tape. pretty good with a total cost of about 3 cents if you don't count the soda, maybe 7cents if you count the refund for the can. Not to shabby for one to hold me over 'till I can make a real one. And it fit in between the frame and plastic perfectly. I put a piece of tape to hold it in just in case, but it doesn't rattle and has shown no signs of coming loose. I really needed something to hold me over since I did my air filter mod. Just my .02, hope I'm not thread-jacking too much!

Not a bad idea at all, I like it.
