This has been a Fun read to say the least................
Side note: One time I was up in Colorado with a bunch of preachers we took up there horseback riding, and this one preacher says to me, "Do you ever worry about getting lost or stuck up here on the mountain". I smiled and looked at him and said "No". He asked how come, and at that I said, well they gonna send up them Forestry guys. With that he said how can you be so sure? I said they gonna come put out the biggest Forrest fire they'd ever seen. That preacher fella just shook his head, and stopped asking me question after that.
Does it bother you to have to work on someone else's bike on the side of the road? I have a friend and he usually has about five of us working on his junk every trip. Between all of us we have a pretty good set of tools. Doesn't bother us but we now laugh as we predict what it will be. We now ask him what has he worked on last and what spare parts is he carrying in his saddle bags. I ran into him today and he is going on a trip several states over. I will not be making the trip even though it is a club ride. I asked him if his bike was ready and the first thing he told me is he has a new set of points in his saddle bag. I started laughing when I read your reply--right on time with my discussion today.
not so much, cause we don't have any *one* person that is always forgetting stuff, breaking down, etc.
