What's pi$$ed me off today.........!!

thought i'd start the bikes up, just to remind the pistons how to go 'round n 'round…went to the beemer n noted my rear indicator is melting…. It was fine on our wales trip and everywhere else I've been…maybe because it was being air-cooled rather than sitting idle…anyway…moved the exhaust tip further away from the indicator…and ordered another… sheeesh...

 

Pistons don,t go round and round mate. They go up and down.!!!

 

sounds like a plan any excuse to get and play in the shed away from the nagging!!!!!

 

We have all been there, but I have never been beaten by a stuck bolt but this one has me beaten
I have tried to remove the bolt that secures the rear caliper mounting bracket to my swingarm on the TZR. That B****** was well and truly stuck. Sheared the head off. Oh well, used some heat, whacked it and used a bolt extractor that sheared the rest of it to the top of the swingarm.

So, I drilled it and that was going lovely until for some reason the 6mm drill bit snapped. Had started at 2mm and worked up in 0.5mm increments.

So got some of those easy out things, nothing, they won't budge and were stripping themselves.

I have resorted to using a large flat head screwdriver bit and tried to punch it round to undo it. Nothing!!!!!

This had done me. Only thing left is to take the swingarm out and either replace it or take it to a machine shop.

Replacing it is my preferred option. However, I am going to give it one last attempt and buy some cobalt drill bits and give it another go.

Really REALLY pi$$ed off. Particularly as money is tight at the moment and I am just lobbing cash at the stupid problem.

 

keep drilling mate slow and easy then retap job will be a goodun

 

I use a file tang, the square bit under the wooden handle. Never failed yet.

 

quite good here at the moment but that could change

 

Will be leaving for Fast Lane soon if you are about Gary

 

Hmmm.... the weather is errrr, changeable, unsettled, variable and can't make it's f*ck*ng mind up!
I'm going down the pub

 

Gutted! Decided to do some stuff at home because they said it was going to be crap weather and all I can see out the window while decorating is the bloody sun!!!

 

And now the sky turns black and the hail starts hammering down!!!!!

 

Yup just washed brushes and considering nipping out but looks like another big set of black clouds heading over...cup of coffee then decision time

 

Going to fit a customer supplied door only to find they ordered the wrong size
so day off

 

Took my three year old daughter to a superb play center today but i was amazed listening to the amount mothers shouting at their kids. Bloody hell, it is a play centre, they are excited, having fun, so put your f@@@@@@ phones away, step away from facepants and twatter and join in with them and stop moaning at them for simply being kids.

 

What pi$$ed me off today ? ... everything .. i want to be riding ... that is all.
