Yep, been there.....

I just wanted to pop a new clutch in my Guzzi 1000 and three years later it's still in lots of tiny pieces.... 😕

Though I'm sure you'll have this all back together and running by Monday morning! 😊
Insufferable halfwit.

Took it to a garage to get the gearbox sprocket out. The impact gun didn't touch it, just rounded the bolt off.

Well yesterday ! I don’t care as it’s been a very long time since I did anything on a bike 😛.
Yesterday I collected my bike and stripped all the body work off it .drained the tank and carbs and started to put a list together of what bits I need to change .
Found some very interesting/suspect mods/bodges that need rectifying and a lot of anodised tat .
Then I put it away for later this year .

My newish PR4 rear tyre had a slow puncture and found a lost-head nail in it, luckily not too near the sidewall so wheel out, took it to the local tyre place and they put a mushroom in it for £20, put it back together and it seems to be holding after a quick blast around the locality,
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!

Luckily it’s my own gaff so the Doris can’t moan. It will be fine with a bit of bleach and a jet wash. ( the back passage not Doris) Oh that sounds even worse Image
Waits for Lloyd’s comment........
