Methinks she's just having some fun with the "waaaaah my oil isn't getting changed!" discussion.
Yep, confirmed it's this. :D

I'm not sure what she's on about though, the original comment was made to her face. :)

First, I love J :D

Second, I'm not talking about myself. I'm talking about them picking on someone else and then taunting that person to their face about doing so in a thread they can't access. But it's all good. Blackballers will be handled accordingly because this person can hold their own and I just hope they know who they're messing with :)

Looks like I'll be out, coworkers and boss in town from Boston, going out with them for a team building event. See you all at the next one!

Crap, I almost just high sided!

I will fill you all in tmrw, but it involves my new shorty levers locking up my front brake. If I was going any faster, I can't say I would still be on two wheels.

I was very blessed, and now I am celebrating at chipotle!

Be careful! New levers, braided steel lines, higher-friction pads... all of these make it easier to eat it!

Um...yeah. If you upgraded your entire braking system, be careful until you get the muscle memory for it.

I just got new levers. When I installed my brake side, the little inner pin was rotated the wrong way, and I did not see the hole where the brake engage pin sets in. So when the lever was installed, it felt much tighter, causing my brake to be slightly engaged as I rode. Rode 1 mile, brake line eventually filled up with fluid, then locked up!

I was in the left lane on Saginaw Hwy, lucky to not high side or get hit as a stopped!

I eventually dragged my bike out of traffic to the middle turn lane, then a guy stopped to help me. There was a mechanic right across the street. We put my front wheel on a flat dolly and pushed it across the hwy.

Sheesh, was a close one, but definitely a blessing to get help and have a shop right there where I stopped!

Any day that you almost high-side and end up worrying about your post count is a good day in my book. :D

He's been riding his wife more than his bike, she gets better mileage so he got rid of the scooter.

What would you be if you were attached to another object by an incline plane, wrapped helicly around an axis?
