|  Washing your bike saves lives
How many times have you washed your bike and noticed a part loose, screw missing, broken items, tire low or nail in them..... I think washing your bike is a good way to make you do a visual for these types of things.... I got back from a really bad ride in the rain this last weekend and the following day was washing the bike and noticed my stock grips were loose. In fact, the left hand grip fell off on my hand while washing it down. I am going to start looking for loose, missing, and broken parts more often now. If that grip would have fallen off while I was doing 65 mph in the rain and being blasted by tire spray from other cars, man, that would have scared the S#!t out of me. Anyway, just thought I would pass this along to others that may want to check this out. I notice another post down the line here about the front wheel sliding from side to side from a loose bearing so I am going to check that right away too. Take care, ride safe. Bud |
