See, if you were riding an airhead beemer, you could have called
Repsychle or Eurotec or Motorad Electrik and talked to somebody who
rides and fixes their own bike...and would have known to say "dude,
you're gonna need two of dem brushes!"

Yesterday my expensive expedited shipment of motorcycle parts arrived
so I cancelled driving 60 miles to go work on the Midget in order to
get my K100LT BMW motorcycle back running. The problem was worn out
brushes in the starter motor - everything grounds through the starter.
So I opened the box that was identified as a "brush set" and lo and
behold only one freakin' carbon brush!!  I need two!!  I call the
outfit in Virginia I ordered from. They thought is was supposed to be
a set with that part number and while I waited, they called BMW.
Nope!! No way.  That's only one of the two brushes!  We call it a set
because - well - we really don't know why we call it a set.  You want
the other brush that comes on the brush plate? You do?  Okay, its on
back order but we'll have it for you in about a week if we use
expedite shipping....

F#*$^&*##&)&@$!!!   The damn Chinese have moved to Germany now!!!

To think I could have spent the day fishing through my 1275 engine
looking for the tiny piece of metal I dropped into it!!  Think I'll go
down to the pub now......
