I hope you learnt an important lesson, and that lesson is hoarding (bike parts) is awesome.Last year I had a garage sale and one guy bought lots of stuff. He then asked if I had any stems for sale. I didn't plan to, but ended up selling him a 45mm I had sitting around as a spare.
Now I need a 45mm and I am buying the same stem again
If you don't have all the parts required to throw together an emergency bicycle if needed you're doing it wrong.

Come on, you saying you don't have enough parts to build 2 spontaneous bicycles?

Got out for a ride after work today, been 3 weeks since the last ride.
Had one tee'd up after work 2 thursdays ago, but a last minute site breakdown meant I had to shoot home to drop the bike off and hightail it to the airport. Last week was site work.
Get out to the YYs, got my pirate on taking up a janky trail, did some clearing. Having a ball.
Rode down, first time actually clearing the whole trail, at the bottom slow rear leak. Check the tyre, no sealant whatsoever. Fuckwit.
Aliex-olito tube to the rescue. Had to ride home from the trails so decided to cut the ride short so I didn't end up having to walk home (or make the phone call of shame).
Dry booger for your viewing pleasure.

Not bike related but very much fuckwittery. Updated the firmware in my relatively new mirrorless camera. Usual procedure. Checked 15 minutes later and about 50%. Hmmmm. Big update. An hour later 50%. Shit. Locked up. Have heard of this happening with 3rd party lenses left on but I had the Nikkor 105 macro. Shit x 144. Forums suggested letting the battery run down then charge the battery in the camera. Luckily I had the gps fired up so it took only a long time to drain. Nope. Bugger. Next advice was run the battery down and then remove it and charge separately. Nope but now nothing at all. Yep, fried the motherboard. Sigh. Not warranty. Good news it only took a week to turn it around. Bad news it cost the same as my clutch kit.

Not warranty? How the fuck is that not warranty? Shouldn't matter how old it is. If their software update bricks the camera surely it's on them to repair or replace?
I did the update not a service agent. I fried the board with the battery removal. My fault. If I had dropped it in locked up they could have fixed it. Apparently.
Back a few weeks ago but was packing the car for a weekend away and was determined to pack my DJ in the car so I didn't have to put the bike rack on, wishful thinking with all the $hit the family needs to take for 2 nights away! Ended up being a ridiculously long process of me practically pulling the whole bike apart to try make it happen, only to realise it just wasn't going to happen. Also managed to lightly scuff my frame in the process (which I have polished out...no biggie). I could've easily put the bike rack on in 1/10th of the time I spent faffing. Yep f*#kwit!!!

Not entirely true. My wife and kids are fine. However beyond that I could write a list!

Talk about biting on beats, lyrics, and lying about it all...this tune has it all except for credit where it's due.
You should have gone for the bike rack straight up @richie_gt that way everyone you drive past would have to know you are cooler than them. DJ bikes always look cool

I still can't believe this guy married the girl who sang about putting a 'ring on it'.

Get the hardly used enduro out of the shed on Saturday in readiness for a ride on Sunday, bike is stored upright and is victim to getting an air pocket at the lever, typically can right itself upon sitting level for a bit. Rear brake was not playing ball, lever was going all the way to the grip.
Fwit moment # 1 - panic message bike mechanic mate, hoping he may be working on Anzac Day. Got a colorful message in response (poor bloke has been run off his feet and needed a break over the long weekend). Said he would bring fluid to the ride and we can top-up if necessary.
Fwit moment # 2 - subsequent to previous moment I undertake some strategic brake line positioning, open up the lever, pump-pump-pump and somehow manage to get the air pocket to the top of the system and regain some brakes.
Fwit moment # 3 - arrive at the ride, bike mechanic mate orders me to loosen brake lever, level and we'll top-up with fluid. Visually he said fluid level looks low (ok so maybe I'm not a fwit), we top-up. A few shuttle runs in my brake lever has no travel and brakes are slightly rubbing, should've made sure the pistons weren't pushed out (or in...whichever way you think of it). By this stage I was over it and just rode it as is lol
