Good grief!

#1 Post by gpaddict » Thu Aug 31, 2017 10:53 pm

Has anyone else bought a project bike, and made the mistake of sitting down in front of it with a cleaning rag, or am I the only one dumb enough to think that I could stop after just cleaning the chain gunk off!? Now I have hundreds of dollars of new hardware, and rebuilt and painted brake calipers, and the list goes on...........
tuned to Paris Hilton specs............rich and retarded!

LMAO. Aren't we all at that point? I just wanted a motorcycle to ride I said. It won't be that much to buy and ride I said. Thousands of dollars and hours later and still working on it. Riding it of course, but still working on it.
