...that you just have to share it? Do you notice the difference between these two cans? Yeah... well I didn't. At least not until I'd completely covered my entire bike from one end to the other in Honda's finest moly chain lube. I mean, I went to town: mirrors, instruments, all the body work, turn signals, wheels.. the works. No surface was left unmolested. When I was done and I was putting the can away I caught the word "lube" on the label. It took only a moment before I exclaimed a stream of epitaphs that'll definitely count against me on judgment day. ...and to think I'd been impressed with how well it was coating as I sprayed it on.. "wow this can has a lot more pressure than usual!". oser $20 in the car wash later it has become obvious I will be completely disassembling the bike and washing/scrubbing each piece by hand. It'll be good for me.
For future reference -- with Honda polish, a little goes a long way ! Apparently, the same is true for their chain lube. Be thankful it wasn't their brake cleaner. :eek1
I was with my wife (still girlfriend at time ) at an outdoor cocktail party. My Boss and wife were there and we were all suffering from the local mosquito swarm. I went out and came back the big hero with bug spray for all of us. Of course I let my boss and wife spray down first. They mention how it is so foamy? I say must be some lotion or somthing, Oh yeah they exclaim and mention how well it spreads! Smiles and nods all around. After my future wife and Lather up (arms, legs, face, neck ) I become suspicous and look more intently. Uh....yeah this is yard guard. We should go wash this off! Feel your pain! If your screen is wrecked I'll take it.
Some one told my friend grinding paste is best lube for his bicycle. He lubed all steering head sprocket chain and peddles. He only realized when he started to get excessive play on all parts. Other guys used nair as hair gel . That was F..cking funny. We told the old man that he should start the land-rover and then when it is at riding temp pull the dipstick though his ass for it will cure his piles. It did after trip to emergency room. Thanks for sharing.
now that is funny...i don't care who you are! you're right, tearing the big girl apart will be good for you..i think. Geek...you're a funny dude..thanks for the laughs.
great story... when reading i thought you were going to spray the chain with pro polish.. not the other way around.. your goof up was way BETTER..
Geek you're a star! I've done some school boy error stuff that I'd rather not share, but because of yours I'll share one with you. I've just done a service on the bike and after dropping the oil nice and neat from the sump guard with my oil pan to catch it all. I moved to the oil reservoir, but I totally forgot about the drain plug on the front and I just pulled the two bolts which hold the filter. I was ready with my funnel to direct the oil into the catch pan, but no....... Fookin oil all over the place coating the best part of the bottom half of the bike and the garage floor! I'm thinking I'm sure there wasn't this much oil come out of here before, then I spotted the drain plug at the front of the tank!
You can clean that stuff right off with a bottle of NOS energy drink ... ;-) http://www.gixxer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=226570
