yup, drinking that klutz stuff will do that to you .....


..... jest lookit 'ol Bill -- he's been a swilling it fer years now.


Verslagen, he used him some klutz last year, but he put it away and has sworn it off now completely ....    his engine went and died on him and that cut off his infection kinda like chopping off an arm would do fer a badly gangrened hand.

Tell you how bad the klutz  stuff is, the brand spanky new rebuilt engine went and died on him again -- he had to swap in a new lower end to get rid of the klutz infection as all the upper parts were bored and replaced, etc so only the lower end had the klutz infection still in it.

His hardened steel main and counterbalancer ball bearings were going bad on him -- can you imagine what klutz would do down in yer guts if you drank it like Bill does?

This and the related threads have compelled me to sharply increase my consumption of olives and the martinis in which they're immersed. When we refer to the "side stand method" are we referring to the side stand on the floor method or the side stand on the flat side of a 2X4 method? And just who are "we"?

The folks who prop their bikes up on thick objects until they are teetering on the edge of destruction like to think of themselves as "vertical" folks -- why I do not know as they are on the side stand as you have pointed out and they have stuck in an undocumented block of something into the equation on top of that.

Real side stand on the ground folks won't claim them as they are kinda like sissies, splitting the difference between the methods and saying they are "following the manual" like it has some sort of magical mojo associated with following the erroneous thing.

In truth, there is an error in the manual, either the 2.5 quarts of oil as listed in the manual is wrong or the test method is wrong as the two items are incompatible with reality and with each other.  

Trying to get folks to say which of the two is the error so it can be properly listed in the Clymers error log that we keep in the tech section really sends them "prop her uppers" into a complete tizzy since none of their little props are listed in either place.


     .... and I am being nice when I call them sissies .....  
                   some go a bit beyond that into the realm of "bungie strap bondage" or actual "chockaholics"

Ah.  I can relate.

I can see it now,.... she and her 44D's mostly covered by a short t-shirt would be stabilizing the bike, while you are on your hands and knees pretending to look at the oil window.  She sees you stealing glances at the lower part of the t-shirt, gets irate, and hops off the bike, gleefully letting it crush you as it falls over.

Now that we are done with that,.... what did the window look like before she flattened you?

What window?

Tell me there's a better way... ...
