As long as you flushed your used oil down the toilet.

The other day I adjusted my valves because my dealer is an idiot, changed my
oil and put enough synthetic oil to bring the level 1/8 inch above the sight
glass, added progressive springs and rear shock, lowering links, moose bash
plate and panniers, swapped my stocker tires for knobbies, added steel brake
lines, acerbis hand guards and front rotor guard, went riding in a National
Park, stalled because my jetting was too lean after I added my Supertrapp
IDS, stopped for a warm American beer along the trail, got charged by a
grizzly bear with a cougar on its back and shot them both with my .44, then
my GPS quit working, but I fixed it with my BMW tool kit.
There, did I cover all the old favorites?

I assume that the forest was burned. And you should have warned that poor
bear with a blast of your LOUD horn.

You forgot to check your chain tension.

Then as the flames died down (from the burning forest that had excessive fuel
build-up) it started raining and the bike went, " spa-spu-sput-kaputt......",
but the quick thinking rider got out his chain lube (WD-40) and hosed down
the sparkey box and life was renewed..... and the journey continued.... - Knot
ps: the fire was started not by a faulty exhaust, but by an improperly
adjusted chain. The loose chain created sparks as it cut thorough the
swingarm bolt which was frozen in place because the rider had not.....
Friendly riders had tried to SHOUT warnings, but loss of hearing prevented
effective communication.

Dear Rob
Naw, cause you didn't say anything about Mama, rain, prison, or getting
drunk. Or maybe that was the Steve Goodman (R.I.P.). But a heckuva good
try. And sounds like a real interesting ride; give me a shout for the next
one.
