Yep, that Phils/Sox game has been sold out for a while...
Glad they are good, but ticket prices suck...

I doubt I'll make it down to Frank's, but we should definately get together some time... maybe take a bike tour around town.

My buddy used to stay at the Drake for a while, so I know where you're at. Just a few blocks down..

My sister used to live on Pine, too, but farther down on 40th. She's farther out of the city, now, not even really sure where... lol..
I'll have to call her for her address. She just bought a house somewhere a couple months ago..

 

Sir Trout , you got the 'B@LLS man! Been contemplating this myself for a while now and you just convinced me to do it next time around!

And YES! It is nice to know everything is right! That's why I do all the work on my car , myself , don't need no 'grease monkey' to f@ck things up , I can do that all by myself

But I mean seriously , how do I know the guy that balanced my front tyre did a good job? I'd rather do it myself , that way if I botched it , at least I know it was a botch job!

 

Do it slow at first, hawk. Gotta ease into it....

You're right about doing the work yourself. I've seen some clowns that call themselves "mechanics".
Don't get me wrong, there are good ones.... but there are bad ones, too.
Just ask my buddy. He was doing a stand-up on his old bike when something went terribly wrong.
It ended with a settlement and some medical bills being paid by a shop's insurance....

 

Thanks for this thread.....had the bike up in the air with a new tire waiting and couldn't get the axle out....had to know that it wasn't some sort of trickery...

 

Thanks!
Nope, no trickery really... They can sometimes be a little tight. Make sure you grease it a little when you put it back together. That should help for next time.
