Default What a Brain Fart
ever have one of those days?
....so gets back from a ride yesterday just before the Sun goes down - goes to check the oil - well you know how Hot these 103's can be
(ya I know just haven't addressed it yet)-
anyways it gets late so I pushed the ride into its nest - this morning go to work before daylight-(by the way watch out for those Deer out there)
Get to work and no Dip stick - Dip $hit
I found it later in the driveway - the thing that surprise's me there was no blown oil anywhere...not done stupid in awhile guess it was just my turn...

Don't feel bad, we have all had those moments.

I won't bore you with any details or embarass myself, but I've had them.

Back in the day when brakes were operated by cable I decided to go for a ride after some clean up and maintenance. Going down a hill at 70+ mph I decided to slow down a little. Forgot to hook both front and rear cables up. I never forgot those two items again.
