Ken that really sucks, but what sucks even more is you probably broke down about 1/2 hour away from my house.
If I had known I could have helped you get your bike fixed and back on the road.

If your FJ is red and white don't worry about the cops around here........they tried to catch that FJ a few times and got embarrassed each time. The last time that FJ pulled out and passed them they didn't even chase, I think they gave up. 


When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Welcome Ken, can you summarize for us, your current problems you would like help on?

Help us help you.  Pat

And can we limit the requests for help to just the BIKE problems, please?

EXTREMELY DIPLOMATIC reply, Pat.  Were you at any time an elementary school teacher?  Maybe some kind of therapist?  Anyway, I admire your...uh...tolerance.
That might be why they call him Father Pat....

Welcome, that was one hell of an introduction. Multiple breakdowns, repairs, credit/cash card issues, impact with curb, evading LEO's, auto vs bike accident, amputation, purchased second bike, change color to aid in evading LEO's.... Did I miss anything?

You are gonna fit right in with this group of nut jobs....  :good2:
