... another retired Black Rat.
Dumb *** things... You know how sometimes you get interrupted when you're doing a job on the bike, and when you return to the job you have to try and remember where you got to?
A few years ago I was refitting a rear shock to my wifes VFR750 when I got called in for dinner, but it was too late to carry on when I got free again. So I resumed work on it the following day, but despite a thorough search I just couldn't find the 17mm spanner that I needed to secure the bottom mounting nut anywhere, but located another and finished the job.
About a year later we decided we'd have the shock shortened and took it to a specialist for the work to be done, on collection the owner called me into his office and presented me with my missing 17mm spanner that he found, still attached to the top mounting nut...
