Curious, was the ABS light flashing all the time?

Does beer consumption void your tire warranty?

(Any cross thread points here?)

I believe the ABS sensor is on the left side. It’s a magnet in the wheel bearing and a sensor that can tell when a wheel is moving or not.

A couple of triples with the kind of ABVs they have. I think we can forgive you. But then again, that WAS a one beer job.

Good to know I’m not the only knucklehead in here doing stuff backwards!

I also forgot to mention there were two 16oz Triple IPA’s hanging out with me in the garage that night that disappeared never to be seen again.
Anybody ever says they have never had a brain fart like that is lying through their teeth, Murphy comes to visit everybody at some time.

I'll bite,

After doing a service on the Ultra (had it on a stand) I lowered it, unclamped the wheel, went to roll it off the stand and it wouldn't budge. Spent a good 10 mins trying to figure out why the wheel unclamped would still hold this bike. I looked down and realized I still had straps on it. DOH

Same day,

Did a service on my KLX450F, had a nasty oil leak so it was due for a new plug and crush washer and lube. Got it all done and went to run it. Wore my self out kicking that thing over trying to get it to start. I Have a real steep driveway (paved) and thought, f'it, I'll push this beast up to the top and roll start it. Got half way up and realised the fuel was turned off. Yup, that happend.

I did have a few shots of JD Honey so that might have been part of it.

Got a good laugh at it either way. And some exercise

true, but think about rolling the tire in the direction of the arrow, while it may be pointing forward while on the bottom, the tire is rolling backwards

Tech: Dumb question? Do you think you might have put the wheel on backwards?

Me: (Laughing) No way!

After a quick look by Me and the Tech the wheel was on backwards!

Okay fella’s let the jokes commence!
If only people in our government were as honest as you. I'd have a hard time owning up to that one. Like the comment above: A man who makes no mistakes probably doesn't do much.
