the wife has a list of 20 complaints about you because you've been in the house and used stuff that shouldn't be touched - get your own gear for the workshop! you've even stolen stuff off the kids ferchrisakes!!!!!

name 20 items around the house that you would use to help you work on a bike?

can we stick to two items each at the beginning?

regards

Great idea! This should be entertaining :)

The oven/stove of course, for heating metal parts like clutch baskets to expand them prior to assembly. (I now keep an old hairdryer in my shop which works well for this)

Her small kitchen funnel, for the times when the shop funnels are just too big for the job.

Dishwasher - great for cleaning funnels etc!

Kitchen roll - great for everything.

:D

Sorry I can add picture so here is a link

Fixed that for ya (berger)
 
Knives and scissors.
" where are they" .... I;ve just used them to cut open an oil can to drain the bike, i'll bring them in so you can give them a wash. :wink:

The oven is a classic though, the smell of hot oil and smoke alarms going off throughout the house. Main bearing came out a treat and the new ones just dropped in with a tap.
 
dear o dear what a bunch! :D :D

no imagination! especially bushie and weed etc!

what have we so far that isn't taking the piss like: "a knife"

I think we said
a fridge
a cooker

won't allow funnel because they are in the workshop and wifey-wifey would infact be borrowing your funnel for extra flavour in the gravy! won't allow kitchen towel because you'll have your own.

so we have 2 items and I've ear-marked 25 for this competition.

Okay then, what about the dish basin for testing for punctures, i feel sure there could be a use for her hair straighteners but i am yet to find one.

The mrs sometimes complain about one thing that is often missing in our household - the husband! :D
 
the kitchen basin - is an excellent choice Jock!

we're up to three. technically you could borrow the wife Mats to hold the bike up while you remove the wheels so 'wheel' allow that too!

we're up to a whole 4 items....

so much hot air :wink:

My buddy used to tell me his wife was kicking off again because he was using his kids to clean the bike...

Apparently their little hands were a perfect fit for all the "nucks & crannys", where adult hands just couldn't reach.

I have to say, his bikes have always been immaculate, & I've always been a little envious of not having my own children for this very reason.

Does that make me a bad person? :roll:

Ive used her hair dryer for applying graphics and the kitchen table is a clean workbench for rebuilds (engine, carby forks etc)

Dear Taffy

im confused are you thinking of getting a wife or a kitchen?

both come highly recomended by most though my preference and experience is limited only to an east european model.

my freinds have a lot to complain about from the aussie MRS so I suggust avoiding convict descendants,

"oh ancient and withered and stony old crone!"..............

"ere! owdya know me name ven?"

"tis on the ships register..... you are to be engaged as the ships cook and concubine"

"ere wots a concibine ven?"

"tis a small furry english mamal"

"nah thats a hedgehog"

life is frought with missterys :D

the kitchen on the other hand will come with some useful stuff some allready mentioned (freezer, oven) and others like a small set of digital scales (cooking) for balancing engines and a measuring beaker for fork (olive) oil.

if you get one let us know how it goes, some say they (kitchens) can even be used to make stuff to eat but i think you might need both
 
ooh! digital scales - very clever! :D hair dryer - like it. :D
measuring beaker is already in the workshop otherwise couldn't measure our oil! :p
kids for wedging their heads in all the nooks and crannies! - now that i like! :cheers:

i was used a a pipe cleaner when i was just three months old. still didn't do me any harm .... look how i turned out! :D
:shock:

you're all stuck in the kitchen..... move through the house as well.

The protective glass top on the antique timber dinning table is an excellent substitute for a surfacing plate when you need to clean up/flatten gasket surfaces.

Tampons soaked in MEK are great for decarboning header pipes.

Toothbrushes for general cleaning in tight places (DO NOT return after use....)

The bathtub for finding holes in tubes.

The electric carving knife is great at reshaping seat foam.
