Of course, any involuntary movement causes burns to my forearm and back of hand, and then after what seems like an eternity, I finally feel the chuck going onto the stem just as the station owner's unsocialized German Shepard sticks it's nose in my ***.

It is during these special moments that I find myself thinking unclean thoughts about the H-D engineers that approved the current wheel-valve location design. And, I hate unclean thoughts!

Thank you, I feel much better now.

Now that what I call Funny, good thing I wasnt drinking a rootbeer when reading this or it would be out my nose and all over the laptop.

As long as you have it "puckered" you aren't in trouble. It's when it starts to "prairie dog" on you is when you need to worry.
