why you should never let a friend help you with your bike


Recommended Posts

I used to work in a little back street garage after school, we had a lad with a 250 as everyone had in those days who was always messing around with it trying to make it go faster. Someone told him adding Brasso to the petrol would polish the inside of his engine, which being a muppet he believed. He ended up with a very neat hole through the crown of his pistons.


They made a nice set of matching candle holders though.


The other lark was smearing grease inside the exhaust of anything the new guy was doing engine work on. The smoke soon after starting it usually produced worried looks.

My favourite was to disconnect the clutch sensor wire that is by the clutch lever. Bike won't start as it doesn't think the clutch is disengaged.


It's normally a very easy little connector to pull and not something you usually check for when it won't start :twisted:

Not long after i got my own car and being a bit of Bond fanatic and gadget freak, i rigged up a washer bottle and line into the exhaust pipe, the bottle was filled with a light oil and a switch on the dash, and i had my own version of a smoke screen :lol: :thumb:

Don't even think about it or you will be visiting a proctologist to remove your tyre !
