well I got up early, put my scruffy clothes on, moved my van, got the wife to help get the bike on my stand (lots of scowling from her ) got radio on, then rubber gloves all set to change my brake hoses and then the penny dropped......... I dont have any brake fluid.
Gutted, been thinking about doing this all week, pity I wasnt in the scouts!
Come back in the house to sulk now and some forum therapy

Re: Always plan ahead
It drives me nuts waiting on parts. I am all ready to go on my forks, just waiting for a few more parts to show up. Not having something always slows the process down.
I bet if you wanted to tile your bike your wouldn't struggle for parts then.

Re: Always plan ahead
No I wouldn't Carl got a shop full of stuff to tile everything. When its your own thing you dont get round to it though, I sell bathrooms too but we have had a cracked toilet seat for weeks, wife not happy about that

Re: Always plan ahead
That is so true. You will find mechanics don't service their vehicles as often as they should and wait for something to break before fixing it.When its your own thing you dont get round to it though
Now go and fix that seat or you will be in the dog house.

Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most
Re: Always plan ahead
Me too. And it's normally the basic maintenance servicing stuff. It's more fun to diagnose and fix something when it's broke rather than prevent it from breaking.
