smashweights Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) So yesterday I was about to head out for a ride and got about 50 feet before I remembered I needed to check my tire pressures. Turned around and went back then knelt down to unscrew the valve cap and this little freak popped out just a few inches from my face, scaring the crap out of me. Rode 10 miles to meet up with a friend with some decent speed and braking and he was still hanging out in there! Needless to say, this was one determined spider, so I pushed him out and let him live as I think this makes him a fellow rider.

2talltim Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Should have sprayed some brake cleaner down there to get it next thing you know he'll be climbing up your legs and your back and getting up and your helmet and surprising you there..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 I would've ridden the bike into an active volcano. It's the only way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smashweights Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I would've ridden the bike into an active volcano. It's the only way. I considered it, but that would have involved putting the bike on a boat to get overseas and I just couldn't live with knowing I had exposed the rest of the world to the threat of this monster. Those are the cleanest brakes I have ever seen. Only 2k miles will do that to brakes ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
