Maine Riders

The REAL story...

The FIRST time I attempted to change a MC tire myself - had done hundreds of bicycle tires so I knew the basics, but the scale is very different - I took 2T up on his offer to visit his place. We had the tire off, and I was spooning on the new one when the spoon slipped in my hand. It clanged around for a bit, but VANISHED. I figured that it had slid under some bit of something on the floor, so grabbed another spoon and was nearly finished when I heard that horrible Psshhd sound that lets you know that you have to start over again!

A few cus words later I was taking the now pinched tube out of the tire and out pops the spoon that I had "lost".

Pretty sure we were still laughing when the bead was set and the wheel was going back on the bike.

Still funny all these years later. Good thing WE swore that each other to secrecy. I say WE, because 2T was watching the whole scene and didn't catch it either.

Yeah.... Like I could keep that a Fkn secret ! Rofl

TinMan, you're not the first and probably won't be the last to do that...

Front, or rear? In either case, I might have noticed that. wow!

Just giving G some crap and he knows it. If he was in my garage last night, he'd be biting his tongue today, or not.

See above, I found it.

Stupid human tricks. We're all capable of them.

On the upside, that's a nice tire iron to walk away with.

WOW ....

That is all I can say.

:huh

Thanks jlambo and BKMLWR for the NF North Shore info, I will make sure to purchase tickets ahead of departure, July 2015, will allow 4 weeks. Moose to watch out for I'm sure, Bugs are out too, have you been to the east? depart from Placentia to Sydney? then I will go to St John's

Eastern ferry lands in Argentia, on the Avalon Penninsula. Amazing shoreline, out and back dirt to isolated light houses, bird sanctuaries, and of course caribou barrens on the interior. Oh ya, St Johns... Might give the RTR.com folks a shout, they have all the info.

Thanks for the offer to everyone from the gorham crew.

When I first moved to the town, I foudn your garage for car inspections and noticed the bikes sitting behind the shop. I knew I found the right garage.

I will let you know what I decide about the tires. I may just end up having the guy at the phoenix shop throw them on for me.

Hopefully I will be able to catch up with you guys for a ride this summer. I am planning several rides from Gorham so I can hit every microbrewery in the state.

Its a good group here and only a few of em are felons.

I sat on the Mighty Mini Ninja this morning and made vroom vroom noises while the snow flurries were coming down

I'm still getting the fleet ready, but I'd rather be riding!

Hope you didn't need that hammer to get the wrist pin in this time.............

That hammer is my second favorite shop tool... after the angle grinder

Rrrrrrriipp...

I think your pull cord is broke.....

Is that the new KTM unicycle?????
