Take it easy out there

April 22, 2005 at 9:05 pm #26201GSF K1ParticipantI’ve had my fill of stipping engines.. getting too old for that sh*t now! I enjoy “tinkering” with my bike.. plugs, oil, breaks etc.. anything major and its into the shop.
To “ERR” is natural.. to really fowl things up needs a politician!!
April 22, 2005 at 10:18 pm #26202prezzoParticipantI dont trust anyone to play around with mine, The only time someone else would touch my r1 is if the engine went. I wouldd have it repaird in a work shop but take it ther myself and rifit it myself, Once i got it back. I dont mind getting stuck in coz the feeling of self pride is great when the baby is back on form…

April 22, 2005 at 10:23 pm #26203prezzoParticipantBy the way Me and Digger sussed out an easy way to get over the problem of hard to get at plugs. Just crack the plug with the plug spanner till it is loose then cut a piece of garden hose and force it over the plug and unscrew it by hand. Likewise when putting them back in and you will never suffer from crossthreading…

LOVE IS GIVING SOMEONE THE ABILITY TO DESTROY YOU, THEN TRUSTING THEM NOT TO.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, Vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming…….WOO HOO, what a ride!
