So I set the Torque wrench to 110 ft lbs and started turning the top rear bolt. To my surprise it was turning quite easily so I thought this had to be the problem. Well...it wasn't. About 3/4 turn on the bolt and my torque wrench dropped. The GOD D@#N MOTHER F@#$ING THREADED POST BROKE OFF!"

A little fix-a-flat will take care of that.

"My rear tire on my 2010 RKC has plenty of tread life but all my riding is straight up and the tire is king of squared off compared to a new tire. I was thinking about putting the bike on a stand and using a belt sander to take off the "corner" of the squared off part of the tire.

Anybody ever done this? Is it worth the trouble? I remember reading about a guy on the BMW forum who did this and he swore by it except you've got to be careful the sander doesn't get away from you."

I was just reading a guy complain because a free backup utility wouldn't monitor and back up his files when he had it on 'pause'.

Legendary American motorcycle manufacturer, Harley Davidson has decided to shut down their wheel manufacturing unit in Adelaide, Australia and that too just three weeks before Christmas. This decision has come directly from the Harley Davidson Headquarters in US and the union of workers has termed this as heartless.

A total of 212 people have lost their jobs in Adelaide as Harley Davidson now wants to shift their unit to China. Harley Davidson has come under fire, more so due to the fact that neither the Government of Australia nor the Australian Workers Union was consulted before taking such a bold step.

Mr Wayne Hanson, State Secretary, Australian Workers Union, said, "It's disgraceful, but how about the heartless timing for Christ's sake. How would you like your boss to call up and say you haven't got a job just before Christmas? It's heartless."

So much for American made Harley's. Dam the front office!

Here's the link. Can't make this stuff up.

This is tame by comparison to the above, but..

My wife has a friend in MN who works for a major coffee retailer. She's involved with redesigning stores, ads, complimentary gifts, etc. She gave Amy a new coffee mug which, among about a dozen instructions, contained the paradoxical, "Do not use for hot liquids"

Wish I had saved that little tag.
