That's true but if one person checks his kickstand bolt and finds it loose then it was worth it to post here. IMO

That's the way I look at some of the **** that happens to me.
I know I am not completely worthless as I can always be used as a good example of a bad example of how to do ****.

I have a t-shirt that says
"I'm not completely useless, I can always be used as a bad example!"

I've caught myself (in more ways than one) not putting down the kickstand....

But, I'm old. And probably operate with my head up my *** most of the time.

I feel vindicated!!!!!

A friend of mine called me today and his kickstand bolt was very loose.
He attributed his finding it to my phone call about mine coming out.

So at least my problem alleviated someone else having the same thing happen to them.
