The Five Minute Job
Every classic motorcycle owner has said it.
"I'll just pop into the garage for five minutes."
Three hours later:
✔ Tools everywhere
✔ Half the bike dismantled
✔ New problems discovered
✔ Tea gone cold
✔ Original job still not finished
Somehow a loose mirror turns into carburettor adjustments, a wiring inspection and a search for a spanner that was in your hand ten minutes ago.
The five minute job is one of motorcycling's greatest myths.
What's the longest you've ever spent on a job that was supposed to take five minutes? 😄
