Useless female in need of men with tools - SV650.org

Hello my lovely Soho'ers. As you know I have been off my bike for months with my stupid post op heel problems but I'm hoping to get back on soon, once I've got the MOT done.

Just wondered if anyone might like to head out to sunny Chelmsford one weekend and help me fit my tail tidy and hugger. I'm concerned that once I take the bike to bits I won't remember how to put it back together again. Of course taking it apart to start with is tricky as I seem to have half my tool kit wedged somewhere within the fairings.

In return for technical know how I'll pay your petrol to mine and buy lunch.

Can I borrow someone to fit my tail tidy on my K9??? You can have them after. Loads of tea and biccies for the helper!

You can have a tail fitting party!!

If there's someone closer I'm still happy to buy lunch. The great thing about having a few spanners rattling around inside the bike is that it sounds like a Ducati.

Can't Mr Peahead fit it for you?

Will there be any Essex girls there to keep company?

No. Mr LPH has the shortest temper and least patience of anyone I have every met. It would only result in a massive row.

I'm usually far more clued up on mechanical stuff than him. When the rear shock went on the car I said - "drive slowly, sounds like the shock mount has gone" whereas his theory was that I'd left a pair of shoes rolling around in the boot which was making the odd noise.

Based on the experiences in my house, there's normally a reason for that....

There are benefits to rows, in that you get to make up again

I would have probably gone with his 1st guess as well.

Good luck with the tail tidy etc, I'm sure you could figure it out yourself, enhancing your skills and mechanical bragging rights.
