Default And you thought Aprilia maintenace was bad.

Time Lapse ... and this is just getting to the clutch. Tears the whole bike apart.

Fuck that shit with a stick.

I'm calling that a sealed unit. When it fucks up, simply throw it away.

Fucking crackheads. Grown men build this shit...

It was bad enough just changing the sparkplugs and air filter on the R6 the other weekend...screw that.

The wife came out in to the garage and saw her bike with most of the plastic off...the tank jacked up in the air...the radiator and overflow reservoir hanging loose and wondered wtf I had done to her bike. "I thought you were just changing 4 sparkplugs and putting an air filter in?" That's exactly what I was doing. I went ahead and flushed/changed the coolent and changed the oil while I was at it. I had put 4 sparkplugs and an air filter in her car just before that in about 15 minutes and she 'assumed' this would be about the same....NOT !!!

Don't they always assume everything is a 5 minute job? I moved 4 yards of topsoil a couple of weekends ago and after my back is broken from the first yard and maybe a 1/4 or 1/2 a yard she says are you done yet? pretty dangerous question to someone wielding a shovel that still has 2-1/2 yards of dirt to move.. good thing my back was fucked up or she would have went in the hole before i put the next couple of yards of dirt in there..

When I finished up I asked her if she wanted to go for a ride so she could check it out and she asked if I was going to do my R1 before we left and I said Fvck No !!...I'll get it next weekend.

i guess at least in her defense, not that it doesn't piss me off, she doesn't do any of the kind of work i do so she has no idea what is involved or how long it takes, etc. what irritates me the most is she could care less to learn the details.. either learn what it takes to get it done so you have an idea of length of time or shut the fuck up and leave me alone.. typically, for me anyways, any job i get involved in around the house something majorly goes wrong - murphy's law - and i am already seeing red in a full out rage ready to smash shit.. the last thing i need is stupid questions and comments.. its like whacking a hornet's nest with a broom handle..
