hah. you guys are amateurs.
i was merely repositioning my bike so i could chain it to the tree and over it went away from me. now i position it while being ON it. much safer.
and then i must be dyslexic because i didn't just strip out one tank bolt, turning it the [glow=red,2,300]wrong [/glow] way...
that's right, i stripped them [glow=red,2,300]both [/glow] out.
yes, i know it by heart and have ever since i was a wee child: righty tighty, lefty loosey...
let's just say that was a very bad day for me and leave it at that.
