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...

German engineering for you. Why make it simple when you can make it complicated?

Since when has aprilia maintenance been bad?

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.
