Bike that doesn't put out. (RANT)

[aff-man]

Hahahahah cheers guys it's not been a good day. And i after spending all that money getting her in the condition she is now i just got really really pissed when something so little went wrong. I know i can't have the perfect bike hell is there such a thing (well if you buying used anyway) but it seems like everytime i fix one thing something else goes wrong. And i was sure that i had managed to get everything that was wrong sorted. I've a poke about and she seems to be working now (probably just a loose connector) but yeh.
Motu is right it doesn't matter the age i just want something that will perform when asked and not do dodgy stuff that endagers my life (i do enough of that without the bikes help) . Oh well back to the study after tomorrow i can concentrate on gettting that job for work experience so i have some cash

My bike may be old,but I'm just reaping the benefits of Recycled's impressive maintenance before I got the bike,and the Honda build quality (gosh,um,I've had some regulator/alt trouble) My qualification is Automotive Engineer,but all it means is I'm a lowly motor mechanic,to me problems are something to sort out and over come,some lead me to despare,but I just keep coming back until I sort it out,it's all experiance....and in my job experiance is worth more than 3 columns of letters after your name.No money? That's the whole point,that's why I started riding bikes in the first place,it's all done on the cheap,I find stuff,modify it to my purposes - check out the XLV by clicking my avatar,I even made my own mufflers...a learning experiance,and cheap to boot,so what if they took over 8 hrs each to build - riding bikes is more than riding bikes to me,it's life...

Ditto you should have seen all the "mods" i made to the vt250 hahahahhaah. It was suggested by one of my mates that i should get a car (not to mention a lisence) i told them ummm..............NO!!!. i can't go long without riding and the thought of her having to sit alone in the workshop waiting to be repaired brings me to tears, that is why i hate things going wrong.
