I rode to work on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (I made a "special appearance" on Thursday). Friday I just rode over to Bartels' to see Axle. Today, I rode over to Victory Studios where my friend Dave was getting tattoo work done by Dan Collins. That was fun!! (FWIW, Dan told me that he has some really killer points covers in the works.)
Tuesday was kind of exciting because I lost my shift peg on the way to work. I was on Fairfax right at the weird Olympic and San Vicente intersection, and I went to upshift. Nothing there. I turned around and found my peg and the bolt in the middle of the street. Luckily, there was very little traffic.
I put the peg in my pocket, and used the bolt to shift. I had to tighten it up at every single stoplight or stop sign for the rest of my trip. Anyway, when I got to work I grabbed an allen wrench and the nearest bottle of Loc-Tite. All better now.
The last time that happened to me was in 1992, on my Sportster. I was on Robertson Boulevard, and it was about 10:00 at night...
