What a pain in the arse that was

A 15 minute job to fit a tail tidy ended up taking 3 hours.

I had to bodge[1] the original indicators on and now it looks ok.

Now, where TF can I buy some aftermarket indicators that look somewhere
approaching the old standard one?

[1] Read: destroy

 

You're ratting it already?

I've not even had a ride of it yet and you're ratting your glossy new
wheels?

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, BGN belched forth and ejected the following:

The same thought occurred to me, too.

I've also had another thought.

I've bought some aftermarket indicators now and it was a ten mile round
trip to Edgware to get them; that's when it came to me.

Why not get your arse up here and we'll do some "filtering like a
bastard"(t.m), noone will get the arse because people expect it here and
with London traffic travelling at an average of 4mph, so I'm told,
there's no point because you can **** off sharpish.

I think this will help you in two main ways:

1) It will help your forward planning
2) You'll expect everyone to drive like a twat[1] and they will.

[1] Not in the good sense.

 

He probably wants to take his time over it, rather than ratting it
completely in one go...

;-)

 

Thanks - I will take you up on the offer later on in the year when
it's less likely to flood.

Thanks for picking up the phone earlier on - I needed a natter.

Take care,
