Eck Posted January 16, 2016 #1 Posted January 16, 2016 Being that its getting colder down here in the south, and I have a project I want to complete, my wife agreed to this, since this bike has no engine or oil or grease to worry about! Pretty darn nice of her I have to say: So........let the wiring begin!!!!!!!!!!
Leftcoaster Posted January 16, 2016 #2 Posted January 16, 2016 You are one lucky man! I still have trouble bringing in parts for her to look at...some even packaged!!! Your wife is
BlueSky Posted January 16, 2016 #4 Posted January 16, 2016 Unless she's buttering you up for something???
Yammer Dan Posted January 16, 2016 #5 Posted January 16, 2016 I reduilt a 650 engine on the kitchen table once. She had a little party candles and everything the day I toted it back outside. Yeah Eck you are a lucky man. I don't think I would try that now. She would boot me to the garage!!
Sleeperhawk Posted January 16, 2016 #6 Posted January 16, 2016 When did it get cold? Nice balmy 50/60.
alwrmcusn Posted January 16, 2016 #7 Posted January 16, 2016 Ahhh yes, this is where I parked my bike during hurricane lockdowns in Exmouth, W. Australian when we were stationed there.
Guest Jamsie Posted January 16, 2016 #8 Posted January 16, 2016 I remember during the 70`s , guys making choppers and restoring bikes in their upstairs bedrooms , dont think wives would share a bedroom with a project nowadays though. back then a lot of guys didnt have a garage or lockup to work on a bike. Speaking of which , i would love to go round to my lockup and work on my non firing cylinders, but with temps at or below freezing , the days of me working with frozen fingers are long gone . vibration white finger doesnt help either
Trader Posted January 16, 2016 #9 Posted January 16, 2016 In the 70's I rebuilt a 450 Honda....actually made it into a chopper.... in the entrance hall of my 4th floor apartment which had no elevator. I just took the front end and rear tire off to carry it down. No problem with 2 young guys. I wouldn't want to try that with the VR!

Eck Posted January 16, 2016 Author #11 Posted January 16, 2016 When did it get cold? Nice balmy 50/60. It's "getting" colder and I don't want to work in my cold garage buddy. I have a heater for it, but I can only work on it for 15 - 20 minutes because my back is out. I don't want to heat the garage for only 20 minutes of work.. My back has been out since Konnie and I rode back home from Bryson City, NC. in Nov., of last year. Just had an MRI done yesterday at the hospital so wont know what's wrong with my back until next week some time.
cowpuc Posted January 16, 2016 #12 Posted January 16, 2016 Good on ya for getting the MRI Eckster! Prayers Up and Blessings Down as the Doctors try to figure exactly what's going on there, I KNOW that back pain is no fun brother - hoping and praying they find the cause and are able to correct it!!
Barrycuda Posted January 17, 2016 #13 Posted January 17, 2016 I have met Konnie and I will agree Eck, you are lucky. She somehow deals with you and does it so gracefully as well.
mother Posted January 18, 2016 #14 Posted January 18, 2016 and she can even make you a sandwich while workin on it.
