Surgery recovery is not my favorite activity.
That's solid, I've got nothing to one up you with there without gross fabrication.Quote:

I looked down and realized my limp casted leg was snagged on the underside of the threshold to my house. Thought that was pretty cool.Quote:

I did... after he went through it twice. This was my first go at it. I'm starting to think the 3/4 fork is bent. I'm gonna blame the help anyway.Quote:

Call Glen Busak at Rosehill Performance http://www.rosehillperformanceparts.com/.
I have his cell as 713-742-3673 but it has been a while since I talked to him, number may have changed. Tony at Astro Perfromance recommended him as a local re-builder instead of shipping to Florida. Glen is west of Tomball off 2920.
Jason also rebuilt ours and no problemsQuote:

At least I don't have to put up the 1.5% deductible amount...
Doesn't count if said broken arm wasn't utilized to get home.Quote:

Landed faster than usual using brakes and thrust, and got to sit on the end of the runway and wait while the fire dept watched the brakes cool off before taxiing back to the gate.
Got a nice apology note and voucher for the trouble.
You are lucky to be able to fly to Denver with Southwest. For years SW did not fly into Denver. Prices were as much or higher as they are now way back in the mid 80's.Quote:

I went super cheap on this one since I was going by myself and wanted to save on cost; 6am flight out and 7pm flight back would've been $190 if I paid for it, booked with what was rouhgly $100 in credit card points. Getting the $100 sorry voucher back made this pretty much a free deal...
They are getting more expensive though. I've got four flights in a row booked with United right now because they were a ton cheaper than Southwest.
You were in my back yard.
Breckenridge your backyard?
Pranav, next snowboard trip you need to wear the "Stig's Indian cousin" outfit on the slopes. Pics and vids required.
Thank you your continued patronage will ensure that Jack #81 will continue to enjoy a new set of tires every race weekend.Quote:
