General / Senior moment
« on: 02 November 2012, 04:18:24 pm »
Only just come round to fessing up what I did on the weekend!
Decided to lube the swing arm bearings on my gen 1 fazer thou, so took all the necessary parts off to allow access to drop the swing arm out and re-grease, as anyone who has done this will know it is not a 5 minute job.
[/size]So having got the swing arm out and given it a good clean & re-grease, popped the swing arm back in and started to reassemble all the components littering the garage, carefully torqueing everything up as I went on. Just about to slide the wheel back in when I turned around and spotted the swing arm spindle sat on the bench gleaming at me.
[/size]Do you know any swear words – I do!
[/size]You know that moment when you look at something and see it in detail while everything around has become a haze – it was one of those! It surprising how much quicker everything goes back together the second time around. Does any one else have any ‘moments’ that they are willing to fess up to?[/font]
[/size] p.s. the garage was bloody cold last Saturday as well.[/font]
