What do you hate most about working on bikes?

Addendum to my previous post,

How freaking long it took to do this!



Funny thing is that I still have yet to actually rebuild the petcock :laugh: :blink:

:laugh:

Fairings!!! Body work, and all the changes the manufactures make.

You get the job all done, then have to be very patient to avoid breaking that one last plastic thing ama jig.

I've had a whole bunch of bikes. Building a KZ, really enjoying that task. Just about the time you get real familuar with your bike, you buy another one it's a few years newer, and dam it's all different. Wonder what life would be like if you could re-marry like that??

My wife calls the KZ project bike "the defense project", due to the cost and time overruns..:laugh:

And another thing..if your married you'll get it.

Honey (wife callingout to the garage)...the sink is leaking again.:blink:

hmmmm....

Ah yes... After reading these replies I realized the one thing that was most annoying was....

When really into what was being accomplished such as CAM degreeing.... PITA wifey poo comes into the garage, stands there staring at you, hands on hips and now demanding attention from you to come in side and TALK!!!!

Ok, hold the boat skippy.... TALK, how about we (fill in the blank) then you'll have my full attention but talk!!!!

My brain is screaming from getting this damn thing right and you want to talk!!!!

Oh let me guess, you want to talk about why I'm so obsessed with this KZ rebuild.... Ah I see.... :S

Oh hell, why don't we just talk about friggin Politics or Religion or Emotions and really snap one of my brain cells....

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhh... :blink: :huh: :dry: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

OMR, that's hilarious. Now I know why we bachelors have no problem concentrating on the bike.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Yup, and metal splinters.

KZ's not a problem - but Carb-to-airbox intake rubbers on many other bikes. A heat gun becomes your best friend

Ok, here's a new one no one mentioned....

Dealing with friggin suppliers that have retards for shipping personnel...

Then only to be informed before shipping out the correct rotor I have to send the bad one back @ my cost mind you.... WTF with that!!!!

Pisses me off.... and don't bring up MRE... :laugh:

Example, same part number on the rotors, do these look the same to you? :blink: :huh: :dry:

BTW, Guess Where? Yup, friggin Florida distributor....
