  • The things Mike will do....

    ... to get a new bike.

    This morning, he braked hard and the brake caliper flew off the bike. It took out a couple of spokes. He managed to stay on the bike and keep it up.

    I didn't know anything until he came home this afternoon. After he told me the story, I asked how he got home. He pointed outside.

    His solution was to buy a silver GTL.

    Why don't I ever know when he's buying a bike?

    Congrats on the new bike! Glad he stayed on the bike, as that is a good thing. Did you have to wash his pants?? Gail

        Well, I certainly haven't seen it.

        He has 3 buddies to vouch for him --- Mike, Bob, and Tommy.

                    I just want to see the new bike, with Mike and Amelia on it. It sounds like it won't happen at Nauvoo. Amelia, how about a picture?

                        At least it wasn't the dreaded "low fuel light" malfunction.

                          That's his story when I got to the shop. He did look a little shook up tho. Now I'm jealous, especially since my bike has been out of commission since the 17th. Starter is fried. Ordered a used one and it arrived at the shop Saturday. Hope to have the bike back Wednesday. Either that or I'll pull a Mike and get a GTL.
