Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

TBH I have wondered whether they differentiate between the different flavours of + screwdrivers .... but I've never actually asked ...

Well following up on the perverse theme of earlier posts King Dick do a wonderful screw driver that fits multiple heads
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Depends if you have the left or right handed lump hammer, have to do these things right.

As an aside I bought a spiffy Halfords ratcheting ring spanner. Took me quite a while to work out why there wasn't a little knob to change the ratchety direction.

There is .... the little knob has to turn the spanner over and then he will find it ratchets the other way. :smt003

At least that's the way both my Aldi ratchet sets work (the normal ones and the ones with flexi-heads)

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

You'd be surprised how long it took for me to work that out. Or maybe you wouldn't.

Sometimes he turns and looks at you over his shoulder with those cute eyes















But on a bad day he gets it wrong and looks at his hump....

Anyway, you need to follow the left hand path.

But you have to perform the correct rituals.

The appropriate left-handed hammer, impact driver, dremel, or whatever, must be anointed with the fluids of a virgin black Falco, sacrificed with the sacred torque wrench of Nekhbet* under the hooves of Sleipnir, in the ruins of Wednesbury bus station on a propitiously rowdy Saturday night






* Egyptian vulture goddess
It flies sideways through time
It's an electric line
To your zodiac sign
I've got a Black and Silver Machine!
