Autumn wrenching

So last week I went to Martin for a cup of coffee. I also wanted to see a handle bar Tjebbe left at Martin's for me to try. Unfortunately I didn't liked it. Than Martin started to pick a couple of bars from his garage to try on my bike. Ussualy this should take about ten minutes. But... well.... it became a hour and a half. the thread from my throttle assembly was copletely fucked and finaly I used one from Martin's bike to get home. But hey, I love this 60's Z-bar way better than the old set up!
And oh, did I tell you already that is was really, really cold!!! Why are we not doing this kind of shit in the garage? Anyone? 'Cause I haven't got a clue!!
