hahahaha, i do this all the time...
How about this one. I pulled my bike in the shed a few weeks back, shut it off and sat admiring the nice glow of my gl gauges & forgot to put the f**king side stand down! Between my brothers 550 & a bigass plastic drill/saw case, it didnt go to the ground.

Hahahaha, I did that once, sat talking to some friends for a minute while still mounted, went to set it on the stand I thought was already down. I about threw my back out trying to keep it up. I'm guilty of leaving the petcock open and creating a small gas pond under my bike many times over too.

I hate the chrome some dummy put on the beautiful aluminum. It is now peeling off. It would be a lot easier to polish some aluminum than fix this.

Don,

How are you planning to strip off the chrome? I have a spare engine that had that done to it, some of the parts that are chromed would be great as spares, but there's no way I would use them in this condition.  >:(

I hate when my SOHC doesn't run.
I hate when I can't ride.
I hate having a work list of tasks to be comfortable riding.
I hate the thought of having to pull my engine and do some top end repairs to be riding again.
I hate my own #$%*ing and moaning.

Cliff.
The Sparks shooting everywhere are fair warning.

-I dislike the fact that everytime i have to fix something (which is a lot lately), it somehow costs $150 no matter what it is.
-I dislike the fact that most OEM parts are discontinued and/or overpriced and that aftermarket is almost non existent.
