When You're Having a Bad Day ....

[andyglym]

..... and you now have to suffer the abject misery of public transport to get to work for a few days
Holly washed, chain cleaned and oiled, oil and filter done Noticed the front brakes were binding a bit, no probs, whip the front caliper off, pop the pistons out a bit and give them and the caliper a good clean, top up and bleed, easy. Oh no, one of the two screws that holds the reservoir lid on is completely rounded off, oh how we laughed

I keep my pencil in it

That aside, it's for my work ruk sack, I can confirm that it's a tad painful when you get T Boned and punted down the road and land on your back with a flask, lunchbox, laptop and associated work kit in it, hence the mahoosive topbox..

Did just fine in the recent storms

Probably reduces the mpg from 95 > 90

... oh how we laughed...

And then cried into your Guinness when you realised you'd be enjoying public transport to get to work.

Seriously, bad luck Andy, but these things are sent to try us.

Had something similar on my VTR when I bought it, found some stainless screws for the reservoir cap on ebay. They just may be the same ones, being Honda. At least these shouldn't get corroded.
