Title: FML, MORE bike stuff going wrong...
Post by: xunedeinx on July 06, 2011, 11:14:12 AM
me:
i swear my luck only gets f%$king worse
i thought someone at work let the air out of my tire, but its actually leaking air threw the f%$king dry rot
remenber i said it felt funny like the rear end was wiggling out from under me
it was under inflated
and last night it was real bad, i though i had a bolt loose
so i filled it up b4, and it was FLAT by the time I got to rads to see if he'd look at it real quick
sprayed water on it, and its leaking air threw half the damn tire
i filled back up on air, and by the time i got to 7-11 i was riding on a flat
i mean seriously, i finally got everything running right, spare an oil change, and THIS happens

SWMBO:
um ok
back tire or front tire

me:
back
the one barnies said was fine

SWMBO:
ic



So.... Im slowly going insane, after I fix something, she breaks something else, and the tire didnt even looks that bad!

Ugh, so now to knock out even MORE overtime so I can afford to fix it. Sometimes it sucks having the bike as your only method of transportation...

Just think how much you'll love your new tire!  You're going to post a 'What a Difference!!' thread guaranteed.

Speaking of bad luck though, how 'bout this guy I know who bought a used bike that broke down on him before he bought it.  Yes, so he told the guy to fix it, and then he came back and picked it up later that day.  40 miles later it overheated.  SO he waited that out, started driving again, and it rained on him.  Got home, went to ride it to work and it leaked gas everywhere.  He fixed that with a friend's help, took it out, and got pulled over/ticketed for running a stop sign, no registration, no mirrors, no inspection, no insurance.  Bad luck?  Or just dumb, I don't know.  Poor guy.

Thats a mix of shaZam! luck, and getting caught being a dumdum running a stop sign w/o reg and insurance.
