Every Classic Motorcycle Has Two Speeds
1. "I'll just have a quick look at it."
2. "Why is it three hours later and the petrol tank is on the bench?"
Most classic motorcycle owners know exactly how this works.
You go into the garage to check one small thing.
Then you notice a loose cable.
Then you decide to clean the carburettor.
Then you find a bolt that could do with replacing.
Before you know it, you've got parts spread across the workbench and you're wondering where the afternoon disappeared to.
What's the quickest job you've ever started that somehow turned into a full-day workshop session?
