Hell!! This has been a hell of a day from the get go! Starts with a flat tire at 7:00 A.M. Pump the tire and she is hissing back at me through the valve stem. Bad news. I knew I had a slow leak but did't think it had gotten that bad. I have a 30 min commute to work and had to stop 4x to fill this bitch up. Eventually I made it only to find my plate and rear fender had cracked and vibrated sooo bad the plate was in half! No biggie I guess?.. So after my lunch break I took the back tire off and brought it to a local moto shop for a new tube only to find out they (of course) were out of that size. So a few phone calls later I find a tube and now i'm back in buisness. So I strap my gear down and off I go to pick up my son for the night. Rolling nicely down the interstate and then whoosh!! My sun glasses fly off the bars only to be crushed by the traffic behind me! Shit! There goes a 125 bucks....Life goes on and as well I do down the highway. About 4 miles down the interstate I turn to check on the what I thought was secured helmet only to see in time the strap break and helmet go down the highway under a tractor trailor!! Holy shit!! A custom metalflake helmet blown into about 20 pieces!! Pictures to come. What the fuck!! Them damn trailor trucks can do some serious damage!!! Whoa! Whoa!! Any who I finally arrive to pick up my boy praying they have an extra helmet and to my suprise they do. Off we go! So I decide to take the back hills for some scenic traveling and relax a bit. About 10 miles into the trip my some thrashes forward and his right leg almost gets run over by the rear wheel...Shit is it now?? The rear peg snapped off! F.M.L.! Pull over grab the peg and now we are back on the road with his leg wrapped around my hip. A totally uncomfortable way to travel mind you. Just want to go home and crawl into bed...might just do that yet! What a day. I can't make this shit up...It's a typical day for me I guess. Anyways thats my rant for today. Be safe out there folks! Be aware when riding!
