My grandson and I were wrenching on the Ninja, having a great time. That boy will be a natural golden arm on the wrench. He is sharp, and only four years old.

We're talking as we work, mostly addressing his questions regarding tools and how everything on the bike works. I'm telling you there is nothing greater than spending time getting your hands dirty on something you love, and getting to share it with someone you love. We had a blast.

Then he hit me out of left field with his unbridled enthusiasm and quest for more intelligence, "Poppa! What do you do if both wheels pop off at the same time!?!?!?" I thought for a second and then it dawned on me I knew the answer to this very question. Shocked me, really. Any good rider knows as well.

"Jack, that's when you lay into the throttle and ride it out!"

The thread about the brakes wearing improperly b/c of the missing spacer made me think of this. I was going to link it but now I have lost it.
