Jobs that look easy.....
....but in fact are really a right pain.
No.1 re-fitting the airbox on a curvy (or maybe I'm just a spaz  )Anyone got any more ? Mods - I deliberately put this in IB rather than Bike Talk and Issuses or SV Talk so it could be open to non sv or motorcycle jobs.

Mind you, even in theory it's not that easy - it is the art of indefinately postponing the act of falling over. So it's not so much learning to walk - as learning not to fall down. Flying - birds just flap them little iddy biddy wings - hell, even fat ol' bumble bees can do it. But run down a hill with a good headwind waving your arms like crazy... do you get off the ground... do you heck. |
