fork service

[Mincehead]

No don`t buy the dog first, buy the dog if you need something to kick after you mess up the fork oil change.

No drain hole, so remove legs undo big top nut,tip it upside down, watch as all the springs an spacers etc fall out, knock over the light plastic woefully inadequate container you have to catch the oil, curse and swear as the oil goes everywhere, quickly lean the fork leg against the wall, as you grab some rags, still cursing and swearing, pick up the 1/4 full plastic woefully inadequate oil container, spring and spacer trying to put down them in an order so you dont forget which way round they fell out, realise the bench is full of shit, watch in horror as the fork you just put against the wall, the stanchon slowly slipping back inside the leg and starts a gentle ever decreasing arc, its path leading to the dogs head, still miraculously still sleeping throughout the last 6.2 seconds of chaos. Contact. Dog leaps up starts running for the door, paws slipping on the oily floor, making no forward movement, the dog then looses balance, your eyes meet just before you try to step out of its way, inevitably this is the moment that the paws get a bite on the dry part of the floor,changing his direction to directly under your foot, you hands still holding the spring, spacer, woefully inadequate oil container, top nut and damper rod are unable to reach out to catch the bench to help regain you balance, you stumble headlong towards the wall. Contact. You drop the oil pot spring spacers, top nut and damper rod, and start a renewed bout of cursing and swearing, far louder and more explicit than before, male and female genitalia being mentioned repeatedly thoughout, with one final cruel twist of fate you step on the spring, it rolls quickly under the pressure of your foot. As your legs reach chest height you wonder fleetingly for a moment what is it exactly that attracts you to motorcycling. you land and all is well momentarily before the pain sweeps over you, and you think, "It would have been a bloody good idea to put a drain plug in the bottom of the forks!"

That was simply like somone watched me doing the forks... quality
