Topic: Builds that have gone horribly wrong, help me commiserate!

[manjisann]

So I am fairly sure I'm not the only one to get into a build only to have things go fubar. So far, I've had to source a new frame because the steering stem was damaged (not my fault) and while trying to remove a dent tore a couple holes in an otherwise perfectly good fuel tank (definately my fault.) At this point I'm just hoping I can get it all back together and running before I have to start selling stuff to fund it.

Thanks for reading, and feel free to post your buggered build stories. Misery loves company.

I think you're the first one on here that has had trouble like this.  Usually we all go through a rebuild without a single incident

Keep at it and it'll start to get better.

you mean to say you were trying to do something to fix the bike, and it went horribly wrong?
you must be jinxed, just sell give me the bike.


 I'll be by later to pick it up

Har har har 

No nothings gone wrong, I made that all up to see if anyone ELSE has ever had an issue. All I can tell myself is at least I didn't put NOS in the tank.

I cracked a drill bit off while drillin the front rotor, and now I have one hole bigger than the rest.  just too lazy to buy another bit.
