Since I ve been messing with ol' No 200 this past week, I ve been having little glitches come up quite regularly. Last night was another bump in the road with the insanely simple installation of RideON.
:hun: you say??? what could be simpler?? delfate tires, squirt the stuff in, inflate tires. Done. AAHH,Grasshopper, all is not what is seems!!:lecturef_smilie:
Deflating process went smoothly.DUH!:clap:After that, the journey proceeded down a steep, greased slope of Brad glitches.
I found I had no air .Upon further examination we found a broken line. So, now I have to drive 200 with flat tires carefully into the back yard to reach the air. No problem, I thought. I idled it back there and proceeded to air up the back tire. BOOM-SHEEEEEE!! something blew apart in the shop. Now I have absolutely NO air and 3 flat tires. ***SIGH***
We dug up a "manual' pump and I went at it with a fevor of someone about to blow a gasket!!:chill: That rear tire actually inflated fairly fast. After that workout, its squitin' time for the front tires.
All went well with the left, but the right tire only took about half the amount and couldnt sqiirt anymore in. I squeezed the bottle till I was red in the face, and nothing came out. :cus::cus: Upon further logical examination, I found out the tip was clogged on the bottle.
Time to sit down and calm down, I figgered. Then I inflated the last tire,and was glad there were no more. I was actually Perspiring! :gaah:
LSS, I had strawberries and whipped cream to look forward to after it was over. The ryde home had a bit of vibration, but it cleared up after a few miles.
Icing on the gremlin cake came when I took off the backrest with the luggage on it and put luggage rack plate back on. I broke the darn thing. So now I have no plate for the back when I dont use the backrest.
Can somebody send me some good carma, if they have any to spare?? I m out!!:helpsmilie:
Thanks for "listening"
