More effort than it takes to press buttons on a Playstation paddle which is beyond many of the younger folks these days...

Some kid told me I had a nice watch the other day but couldn't figure out how I could possibly tell time using it (it's analog). Blah

Get off my lawn!

Basic oil changes and chain cleaning take nothing more than a cheap Walmart tool kit and a driveway or parking lot.

Gunk in the brakes as in "holy hell I don't know how it's possible it was stopping" or "yuck that is just dirty"?

Somewhere in between... It looked sorta like you the last few drops of milk in the bowl after eating a mixture of shredded wheat and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I'll post the pic tonight if I remember...

Fuck, keep forgetting to upload that pic...

Rebuilt the brakes this weekend... still waiting for the brake line to be mailed...

Ordered 500R clutch lever/perch for adjustability and got a $1 bid out on a ZRX1100 front brake lever (adjustible) right now... ONSSP's hands are small and she was having trouble during the MSF course reaching the controls...

Oh... and I found a 500R on Craigslist... SMOKIN' deal... must... resist... the... urge...
