Thanks K2-K6.... appreciated.....
It seems that  "common denominater" is happening in replies here... "I don't think I would have the patience"
Guys,
I am a really impatient and impulsive dude.
This is what me misses tells me, and I find it best not to argue.  I feel sure that you would have the patience , especially after shelling out non-beer/fuel money for the paint.
My patience is notoriously bad, especially in the following situations;
Waiting for wife outside "claires accessories"
Waiting in a queue at the post office, behind a little old lady who is not only getting her pension, but everyone elses.
Waiting in a queue at the post office when someone in front of me appears to be sending ebay packages to folk all over the world...."and this one is going to outer mongolia, should I put it on the scales?" (no, theres no need, all the other two hundred and seventy packages had to be weighed, so why the Feck wouldn't that one?)
Waiting behind someone in the post-office when they are weighing in one hundred + bags of mixed change, especially when the women behind the counter "spots" they have put the wrong coins together.
Waiting for wife outside ASDA toilets.... I really wish I had a T shirt that catergorically stated "NO, I AM NOT a pervert, I am still waiting for my wife"
In Mc donalds, WHY do I have to ask for a big MAC and fries fecking TWICE, once the first time I ask, and then,, again after I have been made to decline a "meal deal" In fact the last time my request for a big mac and fries was ignored with the "meal deal" quiz, I lost patience and asked them if they had ever considered having two front doors..... A very slim front door that took you straight to the fun greasy stuff and a "special"  FAT door that only took you to a salad bar.. whilst engaged in what I thought was a much better topic of conversation than "meal deals" my misses intervened to shut me up,again.
My patience thins even more on the telephone,
I dont want "options" I dont want "menus" and I certainly do not want to be told by an electronic voice to "press the hash button now" especially when I haven't got me glasses on.
My patience does not extend to being put on hold number 12 in a queue and then having to listen to some sort of hideous pseudo-music/musak.
I have no patience for the television,
My wife commented and questioned just why I shout at it....so I decided to give certain shows a patience rating ; 0 = no patience  10 = all the time in the world for.
Bear Gryliss born stupid and getting worse;0
Gordan Ramsarse;0
Loose women - 1
Jeremy Kyle -3 (did you know there is even a facebook page that is called "Jeremy Kyle is a corporate whore . who profits at the expense of the ignorant masses... or something very close)
Actually, at this juncture, it might be worthy of note that even thinking of jeremy kyle has altered my patience level a tad more. here is a couple of answers to jeremy's questions that no one seems to have thought of yet:
Jeremy Kyle "why didn't you put something on the end of it?" (15 min of fame contestent) "I did jeremy, I put my one night stand on the end of it"
Jeremy kyle; "why didn't you put something on the end of it?" (smart kid) "what do you mean jeremy,arent you meant to roll it down all the way, and not just put it on the end?"
Deal or no deal (gread or not too gready) ;0  why oh why has someone not told the truth and said "no, I didn't pick my box at random, I was the last person to pick so I got what I was given?"

SHARPS EAGLE;4  (being a yorshireman I can identify with sharpie up to a point but why it has to be on so much I dont understand.) anyways, other folk get shot and sworded in this and they die.
sharpie doesn,t, furthermore many folk have traversed rough terrain, but the half naked ladies only seem to come rushing out the bushes unexpectedly when sharp is there.

Alien;0 I dont want to watch this, I know what happens, I memorised it.

Time team; 3 for interest -5  for screwing it up. "Once again we only have three days to not do the job properly" and I am sorry Tony but you will allways be baldrick.

OHHH  , Clothes bags that keep coming through the letterbox...we are now getting more than one a DAY, I am begining to lose patience with clothes bags, but have a plan... I am saving them and am going to put them all in one big bag and  leave them out....(for the folk who collect clothes bags)
talking of leaving "stuff" out.....
I have no patience for the betterwear catologue that has a "special" notice telling me to "leave it out on a day specified in the future to be collected"  I never asked for this in the first place , why should I be required to not only try and remember when to put it out, but to actually get up and do it?
Stephen Fry and QI ; 10+
Road wars/ police stop/ a touch of frost/ inspector morose (john thaw) 0. (anything to do with the police in general 0) Anything to do with the real life police; let the wife do the talking,my patience ebbs to new lows.
I see a pattern emerging.
"Do you want an order estimate number?" well no not realy cos I will be scrambling around for a pen and a torn-up envelope to write it down on while holding phone, but your going to give me one anyways, so I will be patient whilst we repeat the numbers to each other.
American Idol;0
American Idol the results;-4
Sell me the answer. WHAT , on the very first question?, lost patience immediately -6
The other day on the bus into town;(ten mile journey)
The bus goes two miles,
It pulls in at a lonely bus stop in the middle of nowhere, and picks a young lass up.
It stays there.
for ages (-3 allready)
The girl is made to sign her name and address on a piece of paper.and then she uses her mobile, but we cant hear whats happening.
The bus driver gets off the bus and uses his mobile (-6 and rising)
The bus has now been stopped for ten minits.
I feel my will to live diminishing.
The driver gets back on the bus and uses his mobile again, and at the exact same time the girls mobile rings.
I suspect either a conspiracy or candid camera has come back.
The girl scrabbles around in her purse.
The driver states loudly that he cannot contact the person at the office.
The bus has now been stopped for twenty mins and all the passengers are mumbling and fidgeting.
The bus driver states loudly again that she will have to get off....
I have just figured whats happening, have lost me patience,recovered my patience, and before it can be lost again, I get up and wander down to the front of the bus and say "whats up?" the girl says she aint enough money and her fair was meant to be paid by someone in town....
I ask her how much she is short...."60p" she says........
I feel a totallly unbefore feeling of a - 32 coming on, and look the driver staright in the eyes and say "for gawdsake" and give him 60p.
The girl says thanks and sits down...
I say to the driver "all that for sixty pence?" 
He may be able to sense my underlying -32 coming on and as some sort of justification he says "I cant let everyone off"
I have been riding into town on that bus on and off for twenty years and no-one has ever presented that particular situation before....
And then, loads of passengers said "ooh if I knew it was only sixty pence , I would have helped her out"
-14 , you didn't.in fact -16 because most of you looked richer than me,, a few of you had blackberries.
The biggest - number goes to all the folk who munched their way through crisps, chocolates, popcorn and other noisy stuff when i took me misses to see the Chinese ballet do swan lake at swansea.
Thanks for adding the dissonance to Tchaikovsky's music, I feel sure if had he had access to those sorts of sounds he would have not used them. -50 cos the tickets were dear as well.
So,
I don't really have patience... or maybe , it's because I don't have patience for much else, that its there for me bike, 
maybe . mostly? (Cartman saying "mostly" +30)


 

UK Pete:
My patience rating

Long posts= 0

sorry Kacey only joking LOL, i just love you sense of humor
Pete

steff750:
 :) good job Kacey  very nice tank and very good colour match ,did you leave under the filler cap and under petrol tap unpainted as you know the petrol gets under the paint and lifts the paint off,I'm planning to do one of my Honda's gold one day ,if i ever get round to it, if not i could farm the work out to you lol  ::)

kaceyk2:
Thanks Steff, ah the filler neck...
I gave it much thought, and decided to go all the way up the sides of the filler neck AND over the top.
My reasoning was this;
If I left it just up the sides (and not on top) and fuel made it lift ..it would be seen be everyone who looked.
But if I went over the top and it started to lift, only me would see it when opening the top and I could gently flat the top bit back.... a sort of "second chance " in the future.
Steff, I see you too are in Wales... I am near Carmarthen...

AshimotoK0:
Wow that looks a fantastic finish Kacey and has to be one of the most difficult colours to do. I chickened out on my 750K0 and got Andrew Parnaby near Tadcaster to do it (he ought to do my next job for free judging by the number of people I have put onto him! ) He told me that one of the magazines did a K2 project bike in Candy tone  gold but the original painter chickened out and got Andrew to do it but Andrew was not credited with it.

Cheers

Ash
