If this won't make you cry nothing will!
After spending a winter doing a full re-build on the Dog. After Airbrush spent a full winter doing a spectacular paint job on my tins. I finally get the bike back together.
Take it out for one test ride to make sure everything is OK before I get out and let her bark. After an hour I take the bike home, park it in the garage and in the house I go to brag to the wife about what a wonder machine the Dog is.
Couple hours pass, I head back out to the garage to head out again. HERE IT COMES - The front brake master cylinder has leaked brake fluid all over my tank and the paint has peeled like a sunburned chicken!
After I throw my guts up on the garage floor and a psychotic hour of screaming and throwing everything near me, Carrie my wife, finally risks entering the garage and hugs me while I have an emotional break down.
Once I stop shaking I take the master cylinder off and the piston falls out in my hand. (TAKE NOTE: THIS WAS A BRAND NEW "CHROME BD" FORWARD CONTROL")
Lesson learned lady's and gents - trust nothing new, check it all over 1st before installing it. Strange thing is when we did a bleed on the front brake it seemed a little soft, however it built pressure when pulled about 1/2 way back.
I'm in a very bad place right now... I feel bad for me, Ed and the walls in my garage. Life goes one.
