Title: GN fluid leak
Post by: spooky on May 05, 2016, 01:12:27 PM
While i was changing the exhaust on my gn this morning i discovered a considerable amount of warm fluid running down on to my hands and running all over the bottom of the bike, had a bit of a panic until i realised my big pot of tea was balanced precariously on the seat......oh dear  :-[

I share that bad habit! Usually helmets getting blown off the seat...

I was once riding my Mrs bike across a field at a rally. I was bringing back Chinese takeaway for a group of us, in the top box. I lost the bike on the grass, and skidded over. People ran to my aid, to right the bike, but you should have seen their faces when a warm brown liquid ran out of the top box onto their hands  ;D
Curry sauce  :-\

LOL,  ;D ;D That reminds me of when I bought my first XBR of a fella at work. Another mate of mine at work sells eggs... I bought a dozen, packed them carefully into a box and bungied the box to the rack fitted to the bike. I very gingerly rode home over the mountain towards Ramsey. Great little bike, started to enjoy the ride, down into the Gooseneck, flicking it through Tower Bends then the Waterworks.....lovely.  ;) Got down to the Hairpin then remembered the eggs  :o Scrambled eggs for tea, only three unbroken ones  ??? :'( Doh!!

I was a courier on a GT750 with rubbish shocks on a job from from a hospital to labs, jokingly named, "the blood, s**t & piss run" (sorry johnr) Approaching Clacket Lane Services there was a bump in the road which was best absorbed by lifting up off the saddle. What I had forgotten was that I'd forgotten my bungee that day and decided to sit on my throwover panniers instead. So I hit the bump, lifted up and the panniers containing the samples ended up on the M25! A very understanding cop at the services retrieved the panniers and I delivered the battered box and exited stage left pronto! Never hearing any more of it, I guess I got lucky!
