The things we do for love...
07/06/16 at 18:18:22
My girlfriend has her motorcycle endorsement. She had a Rebel. Took a dive in a ditch.
Fast forward to now and she goes "You should put that bike (my Savage) back together so I can ride it."
So now I'm sweating my tushy off in the garage rebuilding a bike I haven't even looked at since I bought my C50.
That's all.
Needed a break from politics.

So, you put lovy dovy stuff in Here? Gag Me!
And what the hekk you doing leaving Anything torn down, anyway? You can't be doing that,, that's just wrong.
How did she wind up in the ditch?
Has she taken the riders safety course?
Maybe another run through would be a good idea,,?

There's such a thing as too wonderful, beautiful, magical, to be allowed to ride...
I hope she's in that category...

Dude, God made man superior to woman in order to teach them.
It sounds like you need go back to the basics.
Teach her to fix her own darn self caused problems but to NOT let it interfere with her doing your laundry, cleaning, and cooking....

She got tunnel vision, drifted off a curb, couldn't recover when a turn came up.
That was prior to meeting me, so you can't blame me for not teaching her.
I know it's bad form, JoG, but I have about 65 half finished projects in various states of disrepair. I'm the worst at it. She did take the course. I am going to try to convince her to take it again before I give her my bike. She's in Massachusetts and works second shift. We barely get to see each other as is, and when we are together, we're not rebuilding engines...

If Bot should inquire what it is you are doing if not working on the bike.....
Tell him it would be best for him to " Jog his memory "

Fix supper together, spend time on the bike together, hit the shower, together,, just start with getting the parts together, and
just get one little step made..

She has agreed to take the MSF course as a refresher. We are an oil change and a battery away from firing it up. And setting the adjustment of the decompression valve. Adding gas. Should probably check the tires and fluids...
Big thanks to Lancer for helping with odds and ends along the way.

Ookay now, let's not be conning the folks here. Those look Totally staged. The kneeling on the stool, not quite high enough to see into the tools,, just a little too innocent looking..
At least she is in the shop..
You're ahead of me and dang near every guy I know.

Ya know, after those photos.
