That's right, a valve adjustment in the kitchen.  That is all.

You know you can do a valve adjustment with the engine still in the bike right?

With the additional buying power from getting married, I have a four car garage.  :-*

You don't have to be a single man to enjoy this.

If we could fit my S2R in there as well, we would.

Yeah I know, but I live on the second floor and the elevator is too small to fit my bike in.  Plus pulling the engine gives me the opportunity to give it a good cleaning and to clean up the wiring harness.

sigh

i remember those days

my wife's tastes in interior design do not permit the "engine in the living room" anymore.

i cannot begin to describe the look on her face years ago when an engine showed up on a skid courtesy of UPS -- delivered to our upper east side 7th floor apartment.  I might as well have aborted a calf, pureed it and smeared it on the walls.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Your wife and mine would get along great. :P Hell, she doesn't even want my scooters in the garage! If I move her car out to make room in the garage to work on bikes some sort of secret internal alarm goes off and she's at the garage door in a nano second asking me why her car is now in the driveway and just how long will it be there. Like it's going to freaking melt or something?? [bang] Me saying that it just wants to hang outside in the sunshine and chill with my car in the driveway goes nowhere... My car has never been in the garage and it's doing just fine. Garages (and living rooms and kitchens) are for bikes not cars. [thumbsup]
