Worst night EVER last night.. VaBs you'd agree...

Bots, I used to know your pain. I'd spend, wow, let me thing here........math, ughhhhh... :banghead: shoot, a good 30 seconds maybe? On both bolts...

Crap, more math...how often did I remove the seat? Hrmmmm, maybe once a year? I recall, though, maybe 2 years in a row passed and that seat didn't have to come off, thank goodness! That year, I am fairly certain I rode 30 seconds longer than all the other years when that blasted seat removal interrupted life... :whistle:

So, Caesar is 9 years old, let's say I removed the seat 8x........................4 minutes? Did I add that up right? Yep, 4 minutes over 9 years and if ONLY I'd had the quick release pins because, Bots, let's face it - YOU WILL NEVER GET THAT TIME BACK. At the end of it all, you'll be lying there wishing for those 4 minutes back...it's just enough time to cook a bad microwave dinner, and what if that's all the time you have left to eat a last meal? I mean, 4 minutes...that's what? Probably 6 dates with Rosie, right? Or left...I don't know, maybe you're ambidextrous... :rofl:

Oh yeah, time is precious Bots. Do what I was forced to do and get yourself those quick release pins. If I ever take my seat off again this year, I'm sure I'll smile and thank Shawn and Omar for thinking of me and installing them completely against my will...you will know true happiness the very moment you see those pins, dangling off either side of your seat...shoot, some nights I just can't help myself; I walk over to Caesar and touch the pins gently...caress them, hold them in my fingertips.



:lol:

Well, I slept good last night! Another side effect of working hard, removing the seat..

It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it..
 
When I dropped that socket, I just about said forget it. I just couldn't see myself doing all that work to get the seat off again.

I kept saying "there is no God, there can't be..." What a horrible thing to do to someone...

I thought about just calling AAA and seeing if they could send a mechanic out, then also wondered if my extended warranty would cover such a claim.. Nothing helped, I knew the inevitable would have to happen, and it did. :banghead:


I will tell you though, it was an experience I will never forget. I feel a sense of accomplishment, and am quite proud of myself for making it through the ordeal.
It was touch and go for a minute, but in hindsight, I'm glad I stuck it out... :thumbsup:
 
Bots, you're a trooper! You know what's great about having the quick release pins for me? The fact that when I do remove the seat and it just comes off in mere seconds, then when I go to put the pins back, I can't get 'em in. There's nothing like getting this mod against your will, then realizing that all the time you saved removing a seat is made up and then some just trying to get 'em back in. It's awesome!!!

I believe you witnessed this at the Bash; I handed everything to Shawn and he did it...took some effort on his part too. Yep, life is sooooo much easier now :laugh:
 
Plus, I'd love for those "rings" to scratch the heck outta my frame! Can't wait to try out this fantastic mod!!!

I'm sure they make a cream for that...I'll let you know how it works. No scratches yet that I know of, just never-ending frustration getting those boogers back in...

You ooze jealously you know :laugh:
