    Nah, you'd be fine.

    There's mattresses on the light poles and tires on most of the high speed turns' curbs.

    Nah, that's nothing. Ever been up north to the P.O.R. car rally? Those spectators are right on the sides of the roads with rally cars drifting around the corners right in front of them... crazy...

    I'm dumbing myself to death on my 350.

    I got a flat front tire. It had two small little scuffed holes, which I'll assume are from alien visitors (or the dogshit stock rim strip moving) since I found no holes. Put in a new tube. OK Great so far.

    I'm trying to put the wheel back in. The front forks are spread wider than the axle and spacers by about 6mm.

    when the forks are pulled in so they're snug to the hub and spacers, they bind.



    I'm doing something wrong.


    edit: The one side of the axle has a shoulder to capture the bushing. They're not supposed to be tight to the forks. Obvious after some more close looking. Cool.

    Will try and make it to the gas station for 8:15, sounds like a nice ride. Depends on how the rest of my Saturday night is though, so certainly don't wait up on me if I'm not there :D
