I gotta do an oil change soon.

Note to self: Only one beer while changing the oil. Drink the rest while cleaning up the mess and staring at the bike.

Couple days ago, I installed SE heavy breather. Of course, I didn't remove the throttle body bracket, so I had to remove the breather and reinstall it. I took the elbow off, the bolts that hold the assembly to the throttle body and tried to remove the assembly, only to find out it was "stuck". WTF I thought...did it get seized into the throttle body? How is that possible? So I bang on it with a rubber mallet...nothing. I was totally lost. For about an hour, I was trying to remove the ****ing thing without scratching the beautiful black finish. Finally, I noticed that I had a gasket in there...uuhhhhhh...removed the gasket, only to find out 3 bolts holding the throttle body and the assembly together. I am lucky nothing cracked on the throttle body from me prying it...

If we are talking about all the stupid stuff we have done i have a good one that taught me a lesson. Myself and 2 budddies were going to stop at a local bar and when we stopped myself and one of my buds decided we would screw with our other pal. When he wasn't looking we popped the point cap off of his 62 pan and stuck a piece of paper between the points and put the cap back on. Fast forward a couple of hours and we come out of the bar and it's raining hard. Well his bike will not start and we completely forgot what we had done. We pushed him and that pan up and down a side street until i was sober and remembered that piece of paper. Never again. Glad i was much younger then.
