This'll raise a smile

A mate of mine who posts to a different place asked if there was an award for 'First F-wit of the Year'. This guy has an old Triumph Tiger that's been modified and stripped of everything heavy and un-needed which he hoons across Salisbury Plain whenever he can.

This is his post

"Cos I think I may have just won it. I haven't ridden RatTig for a
couple of years, so needed to do the usual pre-MOT check stuff & give
it a bit of a fettle for next week's Salisbury Plain trundle.

MOT stuff checked, & lumpy idle sorted (a missing plug on a vacuum
port), I decided to finally fit the new front sprocket I bought for it
yonks ago. That means draining the oil, so I ran it 'til the fan kicked
in, dropped the sump plug & left it draining while I went in search of
the new sprocket. Then I searched some more. Then I had a cuppa & fag
break before yet more searching. Bum. Oh well, it's only 12 quid for
another one.

As I'd drained the oil, I decided to take the old sprocket off anyway.
So I removed the crashbar, sidestand bracket, gear linkage, clutch
slave cylinder, & finally the sprocket cover...

Oh. That'll explain why I couldn't find the new sprocket then, & why
the oil was suspiciously clean. ****."

Made me laugh :D

Re: This'll raise a smile

That's because you're young and in possession of your faculties. The old guys all know EXACTLY what he did there. :)

Re: This'll raise a smile

MBK, the oil was clean, as in, recently replaced and the sprocket...

Nope, it's not worth it.

Tam,

I'm not old!
