Thanks dude. I couldnt have done it without your help. Thank you for your patience and time. Probably the biggest challenge of owning a bmw is finding one of "those". haha

You aren't a BMW guy until you dress like one. ;)

Thought I was the only BMW guy with a big beard!

Hey, wear a 'Stitch, don't wear a 'Stitch . . . just ride safe! (Or a Spiderman suit.)

Got up early this morning so I got busy replacing that pesky weeping O-ring on the sending unit before leaving for work.

Fair amount of pitting. If it continues to weep I will have to re-visit w a light smear of metal mender.

Re: A rather un-remarkable BMW re-fresh.

Alright. What time do you go to bed?
 
Re: A rather un-remarkable BMW re-fresh.

IN bed at 9:30 up between 2:45 and 4:00. 7 days a week. Ever since high school.
The reason I am in charge of coffee detail at the Thaw.

That's back to front. I try to get to bed before 4:30 (am) so I can get up by 9:30.(am).... OK so that's not 100% accurate but close enough.. :)

Ha, the real trouble starts when I stay up late and still wake up "on time" I am one miserable friggen SOB.
 
Re: A rather un-remarkable BMW re-fresh.

Yeah, I was one miserable SOB for much of the 36 years I worked. Went to bed at 8 PM, but was always up by 1 or 2 AM because I hated my job so much. Now I'm making up for it by sleeping never less than 8 and sometimes as much as 10 hours every night.

Glad to see you're replacing the heat shield on the tank underside. It ain't there for looks . . . since K bikes recirculate fuel through the tank (good thing for keeping it cool in the rail), that tank becomes pretty warm on a hot day after a long ride, even with the heat shield in place.
 
Re: A rather un-remarkable BMW re-fresh.

Sucks to hear that about your career cookiemech. Glad your getting along better now.
I enjoy my job well enough. I just wake up early, feeling like a million bucks. No matter what I do.
I dont get to work til 8am. So I get a few "feeling good" hours every morning to get the fun stuff done. :D
