get drunk and mad because your help didnt show up and proceed to spend an hour trying to pull motor out wrong side of frame even though youve pulled motors out the right side of frame too many times to count in the past!
now who would do something stupid like that? :laugh:

Don't park it out in the rain? Hell...that's how my father used to wash his Harley...when it got cleaned. Most times he would just roll it out into a rain and let it sit. Once in awhile he would get out there with soap and a bucket and use some suds on it and then let the rain rinse it off. Presto! Sorta clean Harley! Simple!!!:P :dry:

I installed a front brake pad backwards... then wondered why it kept squeeking.

Built an "A" frame out of aluminum tubing for the top of truck camper (cover with tarp for snow protection). Had to try the new MIG, so laid the bottom rectangle section out on the garage floor, then proceeded to weld it together around one of the support posts!!! :laugh: :laugh:

BTW, my bike is rustproofed also... B)
