Default arghhhhhh

This sucks! I keep looking at my scoot and I just want to start tearing it apart I've been slowly stockpiling parts for my cam swap and I'm itching to do a 95" job also so I've been getting some tools here and there like the torque adaptors and such that I will need. Problem is I don't have all the parts yet and probably won't until January. I can't stand it anymore....I need to play with it. I tore down my fairing and modded my passing lamps to stay on with the brights, but that only satisfied for about an hour[]

I didn't think it would be good to have it all torn apart in the unheated garage, would it bother it?

no, i woodn't do that. not with the moisture there. bring it in the house. you must be married... who has the controlling interest in the relationship??? j/k. but, there's nothing like wrenching on a bike in the nice toasty house while ur looking out the window at snow. it's the next best thing to ridin'...

it's kinda like "F" you to the man,,, well maybe not exactly, but u get the point.
