Bummer! When I do weekends & P/Hols there is always a spare bench in the workshop so I bring in a few bits that need doing(tank,sidecovers to rub back/carbie to overhaul or even brake gear to clean up and overhaul or even making up brackets for exhausts etc) Its all good & I get paid to do it & I never feel guilty cheers Dave.

Spot on Dave!I work in the the engineering/toolmaking game, I regular look at my bike and wonder if it would all have been possible without lathes,milling m/c's,drills not to mention all the nuts and bolts that i've 'borrowed',just wish they would stock a bit more stainless,no bloody consideration!!

Nah not difficult, just fiddly. If you use the correct thickness of paper (normal photocopier paper is too thin) and are patient with a razor, then no probs  |

When we work on our own stuff where I work, we refer to it as "Government Work".

That's what we call it too!
I'm currently fabricating a custom chain guard for my SR out of aluminum that my boss let me order through the company supply system. Paid for though payroll deduction.
Of course, we are always free to work on our projects on our own time, but what fun would that be?
