I must almost be an expert!!
« on: August 14, 2009, 01:29:02 PM »
I just removed the motor in my k5 in about an hour and a half. Much better than the month it took the first time. :D No real news here just amazed how much my mechanical skills and patience have grown from working on my bike

I just removed my carb bowls 24 times in a row, don't think I can't do this blindfolded in the dark on a windswept highway in a blizzard any time I want OK! ;D

I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!
