I've just been out in the garage....putting the bike back together....swetting...growling...crying...etc

The usual full range of emotions you have when putting something back together that came apart so easy ?????

I got thinking.....you really have to respect the japanese....how they put those seemingly [is that a word....erm....] imposable parts of fairing,hoses,wires,etc on those bikes day in day out in a factory....
It must be a F%$#!*%&^^$%#!@t of a job....

Maybe thats how the art of yoga came about?

Much respect to them for building cool bikes and such. But you have to realize that there are like atleast 90 peaple putting together that bike over a period of time and you are by yourself or with someone else so its gonna take you more time.

What do you think I was trying to say?

Was j/k that their smaller hands could fit in the tighter spaces on the bike

Read my most recent thread, and you'll see that I do have respect for the people assembling bikes. Takes practice, for sure!

Small hands, try undoing the rear header pipe clamp on ya TL with a hand in cast, it doesn't fit and there is no way it's gonna fit but i still keep trying :spudwhat:
I didn't have to worry much about putting all the fairings n shit back on coz there is none, eh now. But the TL can be a bit fiddly at the best of times, like the times it was still in one peice, ah memories.

Yoga came from India, didn't it? I think it's a variation on the Kama Sutra, or is it the other way round? :spudwhat:

I can imagine it's a bugger. You'd have laughed seeing me try to clean my bike with a cast on may left had, and pins in my right hand.

I don't think my wife knew wether to laugh or yell at me for being so stupid.
