What are you like 90 years old all of a sudden? Cut it out with the "these kids these days..." crap.

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.

The only digital watches I see these days are Sunntos worn by people who hike/climb a lot. Everyone else wears analog. Too big for their wrists, I might add. But not surprising, given the current "rims too big for your car" trend.

The flip side are those who don't even wear a watch because they have a pocket watch (i.e. cell phone) at all times.

Hey, he immediately got the Lily Tomlin reference I made to a pic of my daughter sitting in an oversized chair. Therefore, he must be old (just like me, since I made the reference).

Hey OSP, stopped at Wally world today. I had suddenly noticed how faded my Jeep bumpers and fenders are looking after only a few months here.

anyway I picked up turtle wax trim restorer. easy as hell to use. wipe on with applicator, (almost the consistency of water) then wait a few minutes and wipe off.

I can't say how long it will last but it definitely made things look 100% better.
supposed to be good for 3 months.
they had Mother's (or meguiar's) back to black as well.

Haha, do you think he walked 15 miles to school, uphill both ways, through 2 feet of snow too??

No friends or family members with a screwdriver and wrench? Any car parts store has loaner tools too, and you can do it in their parking lot.

Big faced watches are in.

You forget where I live - that's entirely possible here

Ok... So I changed the oil... ugly. It already runs better...

I tore apart the front brakes... ditto on the ugly... Whole bunch of nasty shit in there... ordered a rebuild kit, stainless line, and new pads... should be here for the rebuild next weekend.

I took a pic of the inside of the caliper and all the nasty gunk in there...

Still looking for a cheap o-ring chain... everywhere I look they seem more expensive than what I'm looking for... AND when I do find the right price, they're all out of stock. Normally I wouldn't skimp here, but it's a fucking 25hp bike... pretty sure any 520 chain would be more than adequate. In fact, the one that's on there would probably work if cleaned up, but I think I'd be best served just replacing it rather than fucking around trying to clean up the old neglected chain...
