Speedo remains unrepaired, ordered the right part, but it needs an additional part. Great week for me so far. Bike gets tipped over (again) in the buildings garage Monday night, car gets hit by truck on the road yesterday, and the bike can't be fixed properly today. This will be a good happy hour tonight.

It's funny when it does snow in VA, well at least Southern VA. It snows 1" and they close down all the schools and bases.

I didn't have a car when I was stationed in Norfolk. You can ride 99% of the year there, if you're tough enough.

Its when you smack someone really hard with the head of your dick (aka mushroom tip.) Preferably in their face while they're sleeping.

I've seen it done before....but it didn't leave a bruise. Bah.

Glad you and your bike are ok man
