Default Don't forget to check your gear!

Before starting up for the season, I did the normal stuff - check the bike out, make sure everything is tight, nothing's leaking, fluids are okay, etc.

I was out last night and thinking ... funny, it's so loud ...

When I got to the restaurant, I noticed that I had lost a screw from my helmet! One of the mounts that holds the visor was missing, and two of the remaining three were loose!

Lesson Learned: When checking your bike, don't forget to check your gear too!
