In 1975 had to take off the timing cover on my Velocette to re-set the timing gear which had shaken itself loose. Rain, dusk and a disgruntled but patient new wife watching and praying.
I've taken the engine out of a Beetle at the road side, got a lift home and come back with a replacement.
In 2009 at a Pembleton rally to the Pyrenees a friends' clutch plate disintegrated. Another pal and I had the engine out and separated outside the Gite de Commune within a couple of hours and back in the following day with a new plate. Other stuff like broken mudguard stays, dodgy condensers etc. one just takes in ones stride. That's me in the black T-shirt underneath
