Hugs n' Kisses!

This, from YOU????!?!!?!?!!

Comes to one's mind a story of dark-colored cookware..........

Also, I hate when you've been working on the bike, and find a small screw or nut on the floor nearby, but cannot figure out where the hell it's supposed to go. After an hour or so fretting and fuming, you discover it belongs to something completely unrelated to the bike...

They are kinda chinsy anyway. I bought some stainless steel ones. I have a collection of feejer parts sitting in the bowels of my beloved steed. I know it sucks having to use the 4 legged beast but sometimes a man has to do what a man has to do and suck it up.

One word: LOWES

Dave.... stainless and aluminum don't get along.... check once in a while you can get them out, and when you do, put some anti-seize on them. DAMHIK

Don't you love how 20 seconds after dropping it you are still standing stock still listening to the silence waiting for it to hit the floor?

Of course, when mine hit the floor they bounce twice and disappear into the dark parts of the garage.

If you had a KLR you would already know where all the local fastener suppliers are.

Instead of dropping nuts and bolts in the garage they tend to do it on the road.

Liar, they'll even do it in the garage just sitting there with you not working on it.

Small parts should all come equipped with little GPS beacons or something

I lost the nut off the end of the long bolt that goes through the back of the gas tank. It fell down behind the panels into the inner workings of the bike. It wasn't hard to replace from my bolt bucket, but I worried it'd get jammed in some mechanism sooner or later, so I hunted for an hour or so. Finally, I put a replacement nut on it and went on.

A couple of weeks later, I saw something glinting in the sun on my gravel driveway. Finally, my curiosity got the better of me and I walked out there. The nut was 100 feet from my shop just lying there.

Unfortunately, those reservoir screws are way smaller than that nut.

If you open a hole, you put paper towels in it before you do anything else. This could have been a bad day.

Especially if you are inside the clutch area...watch that hole on the bottom. We have a thread around here (not mine thankfully) regarding a member that happened to.

Betcha it's an aluminum screw............................don't spend too much time with the magnet-on-a-stick device. Unless you have an aluminum magnet.

Thank God this isn't a thread about forks!

Lend Your bike to Beemerdon, chances are the missing screw will be ejected in the oncoming crash.

Problem Solved.....
