It was bad enough just changing the sparkplugs and air filter on the R6 the other weekend...screw that.

The wife came out in to the garage and saw her bike with most of the plastic off...the tank jacked up in the air...the radiator and overflow reservoir hanging loose and wondered wtf I had done to her bike.

"I thought you were just changing 4 sparkplugs and putting an air filter in?" That's exactly what I was doing.

I went ahead and flushed/changed the coolent and changed the oil while I was at it.

I had put 4 sparkplugs and an air filter in her car just before that in about 15 minutes and she 'assumed' this would be about the same....NOT !!!
