Everything happens in Three's???

Try staying in Room #13 in a motel.... you will be glad that things STOP happening at 3!!!

I know, and my wife will never let me live it down.....
On a road trip I came back to the car(Yes, we didnt go on the bike) with the info that the only room left was #13

Next morning, We woke up alive.. no axe murderers etc....

1.Got on the road, and after a few miles... a dog jumps out in front of the car I slams on the brakes and hit the dog just hard enuff to roll him over...he jumps up and runs away....

2. Roll into the next town and a cop pulls me over!!! says I was speeding... grills me about my past record in that state, 20 years prior.... and lets me go no ticket...Whew...Now the wife thinks I am some kinda outlaw....

3. Roll into the next town... I hear a pfsttt pfsttt pfstt Pull over to find a leek in the tire, on a sunday morning in a po-dunk little town in the middle of no where..... I find a plug kit and fix a flat in a grocery store....

rest of the trip was ok... but we was nervous.....

glad things only come in three's!!!!

I may have told this story before, I can remember....

OK, I get to tell my flat story, now.

I'm a newbee Harley Sportster rider with some sort of beginner's luck; first bike, this spring, in 30 years. After a few shakedown trips, I headed out for the West on a big, all-relative-encompassing loop. Beautiful weather, nice traffic, great scenery; wonderful time. I found out the bike will do 110 with touring gear. I get back home in the Chicago 'burbs, take a shower, have dinner with the lovely wife, then go out to pull the bike in the garage.

Yup. Flat.

well no wonder you got a flat. you should never allow your bike to take you on a trip, come back and park it with no tlc. thats like sex with the wife with no cuddling or spooning afterwards!!!!!

No tlc… My Irish wife had to explain that to me. Yes, I feel guilty now. Perhaps I can make it up to her (the “lady bike”) with a good set of pucks and a lube. Or, does the lube come first?

always lube first
