I'm guessing you got your bike issue fixed , what did it end up being ?
Super strong grip from swinging that frying pan around is my guess. When he goes for a leak he has to be very careful he doesn't give himself a purple throbber. Crossthread points for sure.

Or just buy new grips , I also like roussie's idea .
LOL!! You gutta look out for the roussie kA-tousie.

The issue you were referring that I had in the past my friend was the same grip (left) with a depression and sticky. THIS idea of yours will fix BOTH issues. Thanks mate!!

And roussie kAtoussie...........

That mole PIX is still VERY GROSS.
.
Use, mole skin. Oy! Wait a minute. Huh. Actually that IS a good idea. I have some mole skin. Oh man, THIS is going to hurt to say but......."THANK YOU roussie kA-toussie." <-- YEAH that hurt! You still get 1 of these.

No worries mate. In my eyes, you can do no wrong. Just keep a further distance between you and bears. Oy!

Now, if we can only get JA to also believe you can do not wrong. Yeah, like that will ever happen. Especially after what you did yesterday at 3:04 PM. And what you did at 5:45 PM. As well as 7:47 PM last night

Or yesterday at 8:15 AM. 1:26 PM 1:29 PM 4:18 PM

Or the day before at 6:46 AM. 11:11 AM or 11:14 AM or 12:22 PM or 3:48 PM 3:49 PM 5 PM 6:48 PM

Or the day before at 8:08 AM aaahhhhhhhhh, 'juss nvm abt "you can do no wrong." You are taking after roussie kA-toussie.

Ok, this is going to be a bit embarrassing but I had right here in 'me house some (shhhhhh moleskin). Kindly do not tell roussie kA-toussie. I put that on (though it is tannish in color) instead of getting the black tennis handle tape. Worked GREAT!! Do u have a suggested means of making the moleskin black without the color coming off on my glove? Magic marker and let it dry overnight?

Thank you (and EVERYONE ELSE) and yes, (said reluctantly) roussie kA-toussie as well.

And 'juss so you know Mr. Funi Guy QC, I noticed above you are offering me 1 of your NON-ouchless band aids. Huh. Ok, you wanna play that game do yeah?

Hello? Bear & roussie kA-toussie? What out for this QC bloke. I suspect he can be a handful. I may have to call y'all in for back up.

Hi there KKR, GOOD to see u here mate. THAT is exactly what I was thinking abt the warranty. I have a '17 so am pretty sure I was not covered anymore. I should of checked but am pretty sure I am not covered. And b4 u ask my friend, nope, I do not have the extended warranty.

Chrome? Who I do wear gloves, I am in S. Florida and chrome off the scorching sun can be nasty. EXCELLENT ideas tho mate. Excellent!!

Huh, you put the bug in my head. LOL! I gutta go check the warranty timeframe now. Sheesh! LOL!
